Did you know this about China?

I have a friend who is Chinese and lived there until he was 13. I can assure you that nobody in china owns anything. The ccp owns everything including you.

You’re not there yet? What are you waiting on?

Didn't you see Chiitan's precious bell?

Trying to make comunizim look good .

The average Chinese citizen makes the USA equivalent of $4000/year. I like the no property tax and free parks, but I would rather make more than $4000/year... that's why he says "a certain amount of money". USA has problems, but this fool is paid Chinese propaganda

They only pay property tax once, but you can only “own” your property for like 70yrs.

He is correct I work with a guy from China he came here the correct way 17 years ago and I showed him a video like this and he said yes this is correct. The usa is the biggest indoctrinated brainwashed MK-ULTRA country in the world

The video transcript in the X post by SkriptkeeperElect (@Skriptkeeper17) makes several claims about China’s tax system, cost of living, and public services, contrasting them with the situation in the U.S. Here’s the transcript as provided: --- "Wait a minute. In Communist China, you only pay property tax one time, and you own your home for a lifetime? Wait a minute. In China, you only pay tax one time on your vehicle, and you don't have to repay it every year? Wait a minute. If you make under a certain amount of money, you don't pay income tax? They take your share from the very rich elite? Wait a minute now. For 20 U.S. dollars, you can buy a week's worth of groceries? Hold up. Hold up now. Wait a damn minute. You mean all parks and zoos and museums are free because they are public property? Wait a damn minute here. The U.S. government has stepped in shit. We don't only smell it, we see it, and they now know that we know it." --- ### Analysis of the Claims in the Video Transcript Let’s break down each claim in the transcript using the provided X replies and web results, as well as general knowledge about China’s economic and tax systems as of March 2025. The video’s tone suggests a comparison meant to make China’s system appear more favorable than the U.S.’s, aligning with the post’s image claiming the West is a "super society" of "tax slaves." #### 1. **"In Communist China, you only pay property tax one time, and you own your home for a lifetime?"** - **Reality Check**: This claim is misleading. In China, private homeownership as understood in the West doesn’t fully exist. As noted in the X replies by @Curious39643915 and @danxxish, individuals in China don’t truly "own" their homes outright. Instead, they purchase a leasehold on the property, typically for 70 years, after which the land reverts to the state. The state owns all land in China, and citizens buy the right to use it for a set period. This is a fundamental difference from the U.S., where property ownership includes the land and can be passed down indefinitely. - **Property Tax**: **Web ID 0 (NDTV Profit, 2021)** indicates that China has been experimenting with property taxes in certain cities to address housing market issues and wealth inequality. However, as of 2025, a nationwide recurring property tax on residential homes isn’t standard. Instead, when you "buy" a home, you pay a one-time land-use fee (part of the purchase price) and other taxes like the deed tax. This might be what the video refers to as a "one-time property tax," but it’s not the same as owning the home "for a lifetime." After the lease expires, the government can reclaim the land, though in practice, renewals are often granted (sometimes with additional fees). - **Comparison to the U.S.**: In the U.S., homeowners pay annual property taxes based on the assessed value of their property, which can amount to thousands of dollars per year depending on the state. This recurring tax might feel burdensome, but it comes with the benefit of actual ownership and the ability to pass property to heirs, which isn’t guaranteed in China. #### 2. **"In China, you only pay tax one time on your vehicle, and you don't have to repay it every year?"** - **Reality Check**: This claim has some basis but is oversimplified. **Web ID 1 (IBIMA Publishing, 2024)** explains China’s vehicle tax system, noting that the vehicle purchase tax (a one-time tax at the point of sale) is around 10% of the vehicle’s value. However, new energy vehicles (e.g., electric cars) were exempt from this tax between 2021 and 2022, and this exemption has been extended in subsequent years to promote green energy. Additionally, pure electric passenger vehicles are often exempt from the annual vehicle and vessel tax, which applies to other types of vehicles.

@StellarChic11 Japan and Europe is the same. We’re the only idiots that they squeeze every last Penny from until we die!

You need to go too and read article about the Federal Reserve Best I have read and will change your mind about many things. If you don’t know the Federal Reserve is owned by a group of private bankers. That we have no list of ownership.That trillion we pay in interest goes to them.If we owned the $ we would have 0 interest.

Very poor CCP propaganda dude. You may mislead some children with your faux facts, but not for long. Democrats push the same lies, and they like the CCP will let you own nothing and be happy with it.
