So... You'd rather people be poor and uneducated than wealthy and educated? Huh?
I didn't say that at all. What I did say is that you shouldn't take China providing infrastructure and education as a purely philantrophic endeavour.
What exactly do you think you're saying? That infrastructure and education are bad?
You claim China is engaging in affirmative action to strengthen its minorities. I'm pointing out that the actions China is taking can just as easily be turned against the minorities you claim are helped by China.
The actions such as... Giving them additional points on gaokao? Interest free business loans? Exemption from family planning policy? The horror.
