China's life expectancy is now higher than that of the US

[大汉奸柳传志]

remember how they call covid ‘boomer remover’? People born in the 1960s-1970s are dying on a massive scale while the younger generation is becoming ever more Hispanic. In less than 20 years the USA will turn into something that is beyond recognition. How could such a country think of competing with China while it is rapidly joining the rank of Brazil, India and Turkey?

the fact that NASA is struggling to emulate 50 year old tech with Artemis due to lack of competent engineers is pretty telling.

Does this mean Chinese mothers will stop coming to the US to give births?

I said recently...see the chart from the movie you posted.

Even with the opiod, obesity, and other issues he dutifully listed he still doesn't offer any explanation whatsoever as to why China's was lower than the US up until recently. People are left guessing.


Also nobody has any answer as to why China's was so low in 1960 (and before)

Even Malaysia's was much higher

We all know what happened in history. If you feel better dwelling in the past, go ahead.
Yea so you are also saying Msia is also better than US ?

China's life expectancy is now higher than that of the US​

By Mary Hui
Sept. 1 2022

The US’s life expectancy continued its decline from 2020 to 2021, dropping sharply to 76.1 years.

With the latest decline, US life expectancy is now at its lowest since 1996, according to new data (pdf) from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC’s) National Center for Health Statistics. It also means that the gap in longevity at birth between people in the US and China has now widened to a full year.

Covid is the main cause of shortened US life expectancy​

The biggest driver in the drop in US life expectancy is covid, accounting for 50% of the decline, according to the CDC. Government figures show that as of Aug. 31, over 1.04 million deaths in the US have been attributed to covid.

“Unintentional injuries”—which include opioid overdoses and motor vehicle crashes—were the second-largest contributor to the drop in life expectancy, making up 15.9% of the decline.

Chinese data on life expectancy for 2021 is not yet available. Remarkably, however, Chinese life expectancy actually increased by 0.2 years in 2020 from the year prior. By contrast, US life expectancy fell 1.8 years in 2020 over the same period.

China’s zero-covid strategy has averted staggering mortality​

A key reason for the disparity is China’s stringent covid controls, beginning in the early days of the pandemic, with the Wuhan lockdown that began in January 2020, and continuing with today’s aggressive zero-covid policies.

Beijing has repeatedly said that it cannot diverge from its zero-covid approach without further safeguards such as higher vaccination rates, as doing so would risk 1.5 million deaths nationwide. As of March, vast swathes of the elderly Chinese population were still unvaccinated or not fully vaccinated, according to official figures. An attempt to implement a vaccine mandate in Beijing in July was abruptly rolled back.

Still, while China now has several homegrown covid interventions, including an antibody therapy combination and a promising antiviral pill candidate winding its way through the regulatory approval process, Beijing shows no signs of easing off its zero-covid strategy.

I thought that was all Western lies.

You want to tell us all the Eastern "no lies" version so we can get the correct story instead of forever guessing.

It's kinda like how we have freedom in the US and the choice to pick any of the colluding racket running capitalist healthcare corporations to get screwed over by, whereas rest of the industrialized world have no such luxuries having to rely on state run and paid for healthcare provider.

Oh the travesty and humility of not having the choice to pay for your own healthcare and having to wait long for appointments. But last I tried to make an appointment using my freedom loving capitalist private healthcare company I was given a date for a whole month after. But as long as corporations have absolute freedom to also make us wait months for appointments, everything shall be fine.

Chinese may live longer and may have happier and more fulfilling lives but they are not free. Whereas we are, so we win and freedom, Murica.

Nail on the head regarding the typical misunderstandings that Muricans have of freedom; there is both negative freedom and positive freedom!

Because America's best minds are slaving away trying to figure out how to make money out of thin air on the Wall Street.

And then we have charlatans like Musk with no engineering or scientific background leading the rest of the talent pool down one rabbit hole after another over his massive vanity projects.

At least, chinese dont have to drink cow piss and eat cow dung, and dont have premature deaths as you free to die indian fools. Every day and night, when speaking of anything in china, all you indians can say is chinese are not as free as indians to discharge on the streets and from mouths publicly. How pathetic are you losers are !

What does life expectancy got anything to do with "freedom of expression" ? Do you idiot have to derail the subject into such nonsense and stupid disscussion ?

Considering the issue is a hydrogen leak at the refueling connector that's not exactly an engine issue.

Besides apparently they are doing a lot better than your space program at getting a large rocket to the pad.

Speaking about incompetent engineers. How come little SpaceX even has more powerful rockets than you guys? They've only been around since 2002 with a staff of only a few thousand and they launched the Falcon Heavy in 2018. Meanwhile your space program has been around for decades with dozens of rocket revisions and barely has a rocket more powerful (CZ5) than SpaceX's very first rocket the Falcon 9?

Such as?

So when when that day 20 years from now comes...what supposedly is going to happen to make it suddenly unrecognizable?

In American psyche freedom only extends to those looking to do you harm, i.e. Corporations and Rich looking to exploit you, steal your wages, and pay you dirt, a gunman looking to shoot you and an anti waxer looking to spread diseases.

However, if you are looking to do good for people, i.e. free healthcare, free education, equal tax regime and freedom to live in safety and harmony then you are a fascist.

If you don't have freedom , everything is waste .

 

[Dungeness]

If you don't have freedom , everything is waste .

You can never have more freedom than a stray dog, are you wasted? FREEDOM is an overblown concept.

 

[etylo]

If you don't have freedom , everything is waste .

Yeah, take your freedom of discharge and eat it for food everyday as you like, but chinese need none of such your bullcrap. And indians all you have to do everyday are to open your mouths with BS, and everything will come in your way, you will be a supa pawa in no time if you are not already one. You indians have only freedom of expression to worship Godi Modi and to bash Chinese, thats all, the rest is farce.

You are hard to understand.

Injuries, heart disease, chronic liver disease and cirrhosis and suicide also contributed to the life expectancy decline. Increases in unintentional injuries in 2021 were largely driven by drug overdose deaths which increased during the pandemic.

"To have this second year crash basically wiping out the meager gains made during this century is really pretty shocking," says John Haaga, a retired division director of the National Institute on Aging.

The U.S. has been lagging for years in making improvements in things like heart disease — the country's number one killer — and the life expectancy gap between the U.S. and other countries has been growing for decades, Haaga says.

"A lot of much poorer countries do much better than us in life expectancy," he says. "It's not genetics, it's that we have been falling behind for 50 years."
