When the GOP has a candidate that isn’t actively working to dismantle democracy, then we can talk. In the meantime the only people who are claiming Biden isn’t “presidential” are Trumpettes who are grasping at imaginary problems to try and make their own candidate not sound like a literal shit stain.
The real (inflation-adjusted) incomes of the poorest half of the Chinese population increased by more than four hundred percent from 1978 to 2015, while real incomes of the poorest half of the US population actually declined during the same time period. https://www.nber.org/system/files/working_papers/w23119/w23119.pdf
By the end of 2020, extreme poverty, defined as living on under a threshold of around $2 per day, had been eliminated in China. According to the World Bank, the Chinese government had spent $700 billion on poverty alleviation since 2014. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/31/world/asia/china-poverty-xi-jinping.html
You say all this but I personally know people living in China and they as normal civilians aren’t doing so great the us has supposedly also had a massive boom in purchasing power these last few years and yet people living there don’t seem to feel it there’s a large focus on numbers which to an extent mean something (China has had an economic boom) but the peoples experiences are vastly different and for example China has a large problem with ghost companies so (^=^)/
I also personally know people living in China, and I’ve never heard from anyone about the kinds of horrors I see in Canada and read about it in US on daily basis.
…as opposed to whom?
It’s like saying as opposed to what when somebody points out that shit stinks

From 1978 to 2000, the number of people in China living on under $1/day fell by 300 million, reversing a global trend of rising poverty that had lasted half a century (i.e. if China were excluded, the world’s total poverty population would have risen) https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/China’s-Economic-Growth-and-Poverty-Reduction-Angang-Linlin/c883fc7496aa1b920b05dc2546b880f54b9c77a4
From 2010 to 2019 (the most recent period for which uninterrupted data is available), the income of the poorest 20% in China increased even as a share of total income. https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SI.DST.FRST.20?end=2019&locations=CN&start=2008
