China is doing well, really? Are you ignoring the literal billion of people living below the most abject standards for poverty in the West, or do you just think people outside cities don't exist?
I don't know where you got your stats from, but Wikipedia says otherwise.
In the most strict definition of poor (living under 1.90USD a day), only 0.7% of Chinese are poor. Even if you go up to 3.20USD per day, it's still only 7%, way less than billion.
