What is your source for “1 in 4 chinese are illiterate or semi-illiterate” comment?
Thanks for calling me on this data. When I looked it up again, I realized the data that I must have read at the time was old (1985 to be exact) China has since stated that it has improved it’s illiteracy rate to about 1 in 10 this includes semi-literates. This is according to figures released by the PRC, which should probably be taken with a grain of salt, because real figures are hard to come by with China. But the bigger and more important issue is the centralized oversight of education by the communist party.
