China has about 2.5m homeless. The reason you can't see them begging is that begging is banned not because they can feed themselves but there are plenty of people sleeping rough.

Pensioners rely on their children to support them in their later years, not the state.

Taiwan and South Korea by comparison have far better social security.

shonky,

Whats your point, so does Luxemburg, refering to a could of illegal States propped up by trillions of Yankee dollars is irrelevant. HOW ABOUT INDIA.

I will concede there are a few vagrants on the streets of Chinese cities, brought on by mental illness or alcoholism, but these folks are soon rounded up and cared for in state institutions. Unlike in America where the mass of homeless freeze to death in winter on the streets of places like New York.

Pauliar,

Again lying through your teeth. Taiwan and SK are not illegal states nor did they receive $trillions.

Most of the aid they received was military aid to protect them against Communist china that was trying to invade.

Finally, your description of the millions of homeless including nearly 1m children in china as vagrants is despicable.

shonky,

There is no country called Taiwan recognised by Australia or the United States it is a province of the Peoples Republic of China. Next thing we know you'll be claiming Tasmania is a country, you already claimed New Delhi was a country. As for homelessness in China provide evidence. HOW MANY ARE HOMELESS IN INDIA?

ps. You don't want to talk about the failed Capatalist state of India, why is that?

shonky,

FYI, A conservative estimate puts the number of homeless in INDIA at 60 to 80 million, with no less than 18 million of those children. Makes any inflated unsubstantiated number you throw up about China look insignificant. Even your outlandish untrue claim would put Chinese homelessness on a par (per capita) with the United States, where the figure is doctored to make the US government's look good.

They should call it "The land of the free and the home of the homeless".

Pauliar,

I don't know whether you are faking your stupidity or not but you have just shot yourself in the foot. I see that you have slowly backed off your idiotic claims.

If Taiwan is a province of China not governed by the CCP. There is a stark difference between the Chinese under communism and those that are not. Also, South Korea is entirely independent and still performs better.

As for India, the figures I see indicate that homelessness in India is about 1.8m much lower than in China.
