Universal Declaration of Human Rights

Article 25:

(1) Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family (...)

Your right ends when the rights of others begin. Rights don't exist in an absolute vacuum.

regardless of whether or not you are correct in your assertion (i didn't think the declaration of human rights had such a Chinese interpretation to it..), i guess if OP wants to move to the countryside - in somewhat isolation - the pair of you would be satisfied.

You speak like governments care about the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Plot twist: they don't.
