Although “economists” like Richard Wolff cite graphs showing that extreme poverty began to plummet in China during Mao Zedong’s rule, Ravallion (2021) finds no basis for this argument.

"The program, known as “cross check” or “XCheck,” was initially intended as a quality-control measure for actions taken against high-profile accounts, including celebrities, politicians and journalists. Today, it shields millions of VIP users from the company’s normal enforcement process, the documents show. Some users are “whitelisted”—rendered immune from enforcement actions—while others are allowed to post rule-violating material pending Facebook employee reviews that often never come."
