You did not respond to my question. How does China  create a  better outcome or livelihood  for its citizens living there today?

Researchers from the San Francisco Federal Reserve found people who earn 10 percent less than their neighbors are 4.5 percent more likely to commit suicide. 
While the effect was seen among high-earning individuals, the most vulnerable to this phenomenon are low-income people living amongst the wealthy. 

Here are some of the financial factors that contribute to suicide: 

Location, location, location. Poverty has been shown to increase suicide risk, but location plays a big role as well. Low-income individuals who lay down roots in wealthier communities are essentially setting themselves up for disaster. Not only do they have less cash to afford a higher cost of living –– health care, housing, and other expenses are typically higher in high-income areas –– but they're basically living inside of the wealth gap. That all leads to an increased risk for suicide. [**]

Consider this experiment in a Utopian society void of any meaningful purpose for life.

The Fairfax County study concluded that among the possible risk factors facing young people there were an inadequate number of school counselors, stigma and denial around mental illness, pressure to excel academically and bullying through social media.

If they were lazy trust-fund kids, they wouldn't have to worry about any of that "school" bullshit.

Stop pressuring trust fund kids. They might kill themselves from your petty finger pointing.

BEIJING

A person tries to kill themselves in China every two minutes, the government and state media said Thursday, giving the country one of the highest suicide rates in the world.

China's suicide rate is 22.23 people out of every 100,000, the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention said on its website.

"Our nation has one of the highest rates of suicide in the world," the Beijing Youth Daily quoted Beijing Health Bureau spokesman Mao Yu as saying. [**]

That alone doesn't seem to be helping them avoid suicide.

No, but they are heading in the right direction tackling both overpopulation and affluenza. America is racing in the opposite direction.

Do you disagree with the 3 curses?

Rich people suffer immensely from pressure both peer based and parental/familial based. Harsh bullying and taunting occurs within rich families towards one another.

To suggest that they don't suffer just because they're born into financial wealth is a sign of very low EQ.

How well you can heed those 3 curses. Do you have a fundamental issue with those 3 curses? Any one of them?

Aphorisms are one thing.

PRAXIS is quite another.

If you continue to bullshit, your answer will be no by default.

Even the best aphorisms do not magically make a nation "better".

I'm glad you have zero issues with any of the 3 curses.
