No, never been to China.
And I'm not denying that poverty that exists there.
The point I'm making is China doesn't have the monopoly on extreme poverty. Nearly every major urban centre has its ghetto and impoverished areas - often in stark contrast to the adjacent opulence and comparative wealthy neighbourhoods.
It wouldn't be difficult to sandwich two shots of Vancouver, Can. together depicting the homeless and drug addicts in ghetto areas in contrast to the winter Olympic venues they've been preparing.
