I Moved to China to Pay Off $50,000 Worth of Debt and it Was One of the Best Decisions I’ve Ever Mad

I see way more homeless people in US than in China.

That’s because of Hukou laws in China allowing police to round up people and bus them back to where they came from.

Only fools believe that, you really know nothing about China but unfortunately it didn't stop you from talking through your hat.

China Can’t Help Its Homeless Alone
It once tried to ship them out of cities. Then it tried to shelter them. Now it’s asking NGOs for an assist.

The repatriation system was established in 1982 as part of a government program aimed at stopping people from leaving their hometowns without government permission. The system gave police the right to detain anyone who could not show a residence permit or temporary living permit. Targeted by the system were beggars and homeless people who had come to cities looking for a better way of life. After holding them in centers for short periods, police often sent these people back to their hometowns.

The 2003 death of Sun Zhigang, a migrant worker in the southern province of Guangdong whose hometown was far away in the central province of Hubei, triggered an outcry that led to reforms. Sun died from physical abuse inflicted on him by police while being detained in a center in the city of Guangzhou.

Later, the detention center network was replaced with a system through which the government offered “temporary shelter for the homeless” with the goal of “maintaining social order in cities.” Government agencies were ordered to “encourage and support social organizations and individuals that help homeless people and beggars.”

You learn things about China by reading some decade old articles from unreliable story tellers , I get to know both China and US by extensively travel in both coountries, big cities and small towns and villages, I can tell you from first hand experience, not nameless story tellers, there are way more homeless people in US than in China, even China has the size of population several times of America's.

When I was in Miami, under every single bridge was taken by a number of homeless people, the pungent stench can make people throw up hundreds of meters away from their homeless camps.

The article was written in 2015. Maybe you should do some research on the Hukou system since you didn’t know one of the reasons it was setup.

BTW they cleared out everybody living in the underpasses of Miami.

You think you know more about Hukou than I do? can any claim be funnier than that? Over half of Beijing's residents having their Hukou somewhere else. We Beijingers make fun of ourselves saying we are the minority in our home city and meeting a fellow Beijinger in Beijing is almost like a rare occurance, You've been brainwashed by the western media for so long, if China really interests you, I guess so since you always comment on Chinese affairs, spend a year or two in China and come back to talk.

Most people here indulge themselves into self-brainwashing, and are incredibly ignorant about the world affairs. For them, this world is all about "Good Guy vs Bad Guy".

As I said many times before, the most detrimental "firewall" is in one's mind, not the one on the net.
