there really are far fewer homeless people in china than there are in america. it's not just that they're out of sight, it literally is much less of a problem to begin with. you can't try to equate these things
This is a ridiculous statement on so many levels... on the one hand it's true that culturally folks are more likely to look after their family members. But there's plenty of people who have not had kids and severe alcoholism as well. I've seen plenty of homeless on the streets of Beijing and many years ago too.. more importantly there's hundreds of millions of people who live precarious lives.
