The infant mortality rate has decreased to 6.8 deaths per 1,000 live births, while the maternal mortality rate dropped to 19.6 per 100,000 births, said a statistics communique released by the National Health Commission.

"The main health indicators for the Chinese as a whole are above average in upper-middle income countries," it said.

China has seen a rising life expectancy for its people over the years: from 74.83 years in 2010, to 76.34 years in 2015, to 76.7 years in 2017. The rise is attributed to improved public health work, disease control and prevention, medical services, childbirth care and traditional Chinese medicine.

The communique reported notable progress in healthcare reform as medical bills, especially spending on medicine, has dropped across the board. Meanwhile, more people seek treatment at primary-level clinics as the tiered diagnosis and treatment model gained traction.

China previously predicted that life expectancy would hit 77 by 2020. But, I think now China needs to update its predictions. I believe, by 2020, it will pass 78.

At the same time, life expectancy in Trumptard Land is decreasing.

We use TCM, they take opioid.

Chinese medicine TCM uses plants and slow but is the natural way.

My grand grandma passed away last year at the age 94.

 

[TaiShang]

Yes, but unlike the Qing, the US opioid revolution is self-inflicted. It is cultural, not political.

This is also what I want to say. What is the probability that young Americans are not exposed to drugs? 5%? 2%? I believe that more than 90% of young people in the United States have come into contact with or have taken drugs.

After reaching a certain height, life expectancy per capita will be harder and harder to improve.
