Healthcare is cheaper and more available than the US in every non-US economy on the planet. But if I am one of the 30% of young male Chinese who can't find a job... Developing infrastructure is nice, but, how do empty cities built for the sake of building or subway stops that never open in the jungle miles out of town help anyone? To quote The Little Red Book: "The Communist Party does not fear criticism because we are Marxists, the truth is on our side, and the basic masses, the workers and peasants, are on our side." Who is arguing in bad faith here?
You haven't provided sources for any of your numbers, and you immediately moved the goalposts when proven wrong. The PRC's unemployment is nowhere near 30%. Developing infrastructure requires labor, and planning cities for future expansion has helped with China's rapid progress.
You clearly are arguing in pure bad faith and aren't worth responding to.
