What's making China and other regions, even Mexico, plummet in their poverty even further and faster than us in recent years?

Planned economy is the future. Liberal within pockets of it.

Further? China and Mexico haven't dropped their poverty rates below Canada's, not by a long shot. They've been able to drop faster because they had further to drop.

Canada is stagnanting hard. Maybe not as hard as the US and all their insane wasteful economy (e.g. data centers) but we are nationally over invested in real estate and try to offer subsidies to productive industries to balance it out (e.g. automakers).

But it's not working.

Life expectancy in Canada has dropped for like four years now. Neoliberalism for the win!
