EDIT: no, I don’t sympathize with nazis (neither I sympathize with those who call everyone nazi when they’re losing an argument ;)

      I don’t think census data compiled and verified by the UN DESA is Pravda, a publication which does not exist anymore. I quite like Wikipedia and I think it’s a very good way to get a quick introductory understanding of a topic which you’ve just learned about. In this case it prints a similar graph citing the same data, so I don’t know why you would mention it to support your strange argument that China’s life expectancy has not significantly improved under communism.

      It’s not even that outrageous a thing to believe, but you demand that I presume it false because believing that China is a normal country opens the door to believing a whole bunch of other scary things.
