Milton Friedman and Ayn Rand. In Fountainhead, she goes in depth about how Chinese life expectancy statistics are generally made up.
That's incredible, I honestly did not see that one coming.
So tell me, what's your best guess at what Chinese life expectancy was before the CPC came to power, and what do you think it is now? Do you dispute the numbers from before the communists were even in power? Or do you think they're still living in mud huts?
You can laugh, but communist oppression is no laughing matter. Please see this article where Ben Shapiro writes a thesis-level takedown of the mythos of Chinese life expectancy.
Please, I've read that article countless times. Here is a response that breaks down all the flaws in his argument.

We always abide by the PPB, tyvm!
No, but whenever you guys get "dunked on", you compulsively link to it like a goddamned Manchurian candidate.
I'm just gonna say, if you're still posting rickrolls in 2023, you don't have a lot of room to talk about unoriginal bits.

It's impossible to engage in good faith debates with what is essentially the QAnon of the left.
QAnon, well known for being able to provide evidence for their beliefs from credible sources.
Aren't you the one that's more like QAnon, since you're going purely off vibes and faith?
"no, u"
I haven't seen that movie, does a pig shit on its own balls?
Serious question - is that normal for pigs or is something wrong with it?
I believe that's normal for breeding hogs, yes
