I genuinely don’t know and would prefer getting perspectives from Lemmy rather than just reading generic facts. (Sorry if this seems lazy!)
I ask because China is communist, and sometimes I am afraid of some policies in China, like lack of free speech or free press. But I also think poverty and homelessness are a great evil and don’t know to what extent China has stopped this.
When I visited Beijing, we passed through a shantytown–people living in huts made out of whatever debris they could find, such as corrugated metal sheets. So I’d call that homeless.
