Lhasa old city 2014:

Very impressive! Really surprised to see such clean streets in Lhasa. That blue sky, unbelievable! But I bet everyone there must be thinking about fleeing to India for democracy. You know, how can anyone live without breathing the air filled with SO2? That smell of freedom?

I remember once there were some ignorant indian trolls call our rural people cheap labors, but take a look at where these "cheap labors" are living in, and do compare to your IT elites' smaller than prison cell homes ..

Ordinary Chinese countryside houses

Even in the mountainous rural area:

Most Indian homes smaller than prison cells
