If you really need some facts on how 'The West' is 'doing fine' relative to China, how about:
+ China is a very poor country, per capita (see public GDP figures)
+ China is one of the most corrupt countries in the world (see: Transparency International)
+ In China there are no real property rights
+ The Internet is heavily censored in China, and a considerable amount of information is witheld from the public
+ Freedom of conscience, speech and assembly are not protected rights in China, as they are in the West.
+ There is no democracy in China
As a result, people are fleeing China by the millions, doing whatever they can to come to the West.
Vancouver Canada among others, has become a Mecca for Chinese expats escaping their own regime.
But I don't think that this information is in any way arcane or enlightening, it should be common knowledge, that someone would need to hear it is maybe a little disturbing.
