a quarter of 2 billion people is quite a lot. If you told me 20% of the people on the planet own a car, I would not tell cars are common, but VERY common (and they are!).

Listen to the person with personal experience.

should i listen to MAGA fascists then, because they mostly have extensive personal experience with the US?

I literally just explained it to you in my previous post. I quoted what I said and further clarified it because you asked.

Nothing you said have anything to do with hypocrisy. You still haven't quoted them.

I didn't accept the accuracy of that figure, I just noted it as an upper bound. Absolute values aren't particularly useful in this kind of discussion. Any weird and obscure niche interest has millions of fans. What's relevant are proportions. I think numbers are probably much closer to 1:10. In a big country that's a lot of people, but it isn't anywhere near typical. Even 1:4 isn't typical, and that's an unexamined generous figure.

Do they have more personal experience with the US than you do? I only listen to them enough to figure out how they got where they are and how to prevent others from going there, but I've lived in the US for decades so I have my own expertise. How long have you personally lived in China?
