    China’s “no more poverty” claim is based on the UN global standard, which was then $3-per-person-per-day, thus $90-per-month. That standard was recently updated and for upper-middle–income countries it is now $8.40-per-day, thus $252-per-month, so their statement is still accurate. Whether using a global poverty threshold for a BRICS country makes sense is your decision.

      Yeah, we should definitely use China’s own standard for that metric, doesn’t make sense to call something not poverty in a place that still considers it to be poverty, themselves.

      As for .ml, why not make this claim and leave it, rather than delete? Eh, well… don’t really care, I am here to laugh.
