1970 was during the cultural revolution. In that year, the world population was 3.68 billion, and the population if China was just shy of 830 million - China had 22% of the world's population, so if they held (only) 20% of the world's prisoners, they'd have a lower than average incarceration rate.
The same is not true for the US today, we have less than 5% of the world's population today.
Instead of being in prison, they were dying out off hunger and concentration camps... There are idiots supporting US, and hypocrites supporting china...
ITT: Liberals who assume that evil Chinese MUST be lying about their statistics but the above board whites of the USA are not.
Woah watch out. You might offend Red Scare propagandists
Your brain on for-profit prisons:
13th is a really good documentary. Indentured Survitude
Wow China really dropped the ball on this one.
More creepy US prison statistics.
The red army of china didn't really take prisoners.
What are you talking about have you never heard of ~~emperor~~ Comrade Puyi?
The top score would be Gaza tho with 100% of its population being prisoners of Israel.
The proposed stat is '20% of the world's prison population". No country can ever reach 100% while any other country on Earth has at least 1 prisoner.
Israel is trying to zero out that number as quickly as they can.
