HDI includes life expectancy (same), education (China slightly higher) and gross national income per capita
Having a higher level of income doesn’t mean your quality of life is higher, especially since the cost of living in America is also higher
Thus dollar for dollar, the quality of life that China delivers is far higher than what America offers
China’s GDP per capita is literally 1/5 of America’s
Yet China and America has the same life expectancy
China’s metropolitan cities are undoubtedly much better than America’s to live in
Even the people living in rural areas have better access to healthcare than America’s
Yet dollar for dollar China’s quality of life far surpasses America’s in almost every single metric
