That’s very inaccurate information.
It’s basically only the government officials who can’t have the app installed on their phones, for security reasons.
That’s it.

That’s it.
They often do. Merchandise too, if they are big.
They also often brand something as “best in the world” when in reality it’s US only. And they are literally 4.2% the population of the entire world.
Well, yeah, in some places, but there’s countries where that’s a far worse idea than in Europe.
You’d have to understand what they are coming from - that they have to build up from a lower standard. You can’t just jump directly to super progressive without paving the road to it.
The people in the US are also more right leaning and religious in general compared to Europe. The US left is the EU right in some European countries.
California’s also still part of the US, and there will always be problems that they’ll share with their neighbour states.
TL;DR California DOES have nice things compared to the rest of the country, and I also believe that’s because of the lack of Republicans.
Alright, let me say it differently.
China is a one party system. The party elects its leader themselves. There’s no choice. There’s no other direction. And when they censor things heavily, they also control the narrative.
China doesn’t perform well on living standard. Too many homeless and a great part of the population lives in poverty.
Work week is 6 days a week and 12 hours a day.
There’s not one thing China is the best at when it comes to welfare and living standards.
So no, it’s by no means a great example.
Both Russia and China are authoritarian. 90% are happy with the government in the same way that 86% voted for Putin.
It’s fake numbers.
Scientific socialism sounds like the way to go, but don’t act like China is a democracy.
That may be true, but has nothing to do with work hours and rights in China. They are opposite of great.
