Chinese healthcare makes American healthcare look good by comparison. It is mostly private and you're expected to bribe the doctors, nurses, orderlies and have a family member stick around the hospital the whole time pestering them or you won't receive care. Same with Education, which is like the American Ivy system times 1000. Housing in China is.. well, just try googling Evergande. Upwards mobility involves either climbing the party hierarchy or "leveling up" from being a rural peasant to being an urban migrant worker with bad hukou.
You got me on transit though, the Chinese have built some amazing trains.
