If we questioned the few billion humans individually, would we get this result?
A majority of individuals who think they are on the side of good, while thinking of living badly ...
Of course, the perception of good and evil has a subjective dimension, but what is important is that individuals fundamentally not subject to evil can, however, actively contribute to it, not only on others, but also and indirectly at their expense, because of systemic mediation.

But what is the proportion of rich and poor in China?
I don't know the respective figures, but China has copied from an outdated European model and has made the bet to surpass this model. It is actually a real experience in real size and accelerated, from our initial evolution to a state close to ours. Therefore, it concentrates and amplifies our contradictions, which makes its observation fascinating, because the failure of this project is contained in its success and will be proportional to it. If, by chance, certain contradictions in the accumulation of value could once again be overcome, the fact remains that the immense reservoir of population in this country would be useless since the current phase (which is far from full employment) is transitory, therefore intended to disappear quickly.
Finally:
What about those who have not yet converted to the system? Those who live with little or no money, are they a "reserve" of poor people for the future of the system? (Around the world?)
For the reasons mentioned above, the success of the capitalist economic model which required for its expansion, then its survival, the conquest of ever larger territories and an increasingly large and poorer workforce. a last mutation which always reduces the recourse to human labor, which implies in the short term a radical contradiction of its functioning: by accelerating its metabolism once again, it precipitates its loss.
"Those who live without money, or almost", according to the temporality of the events,
have a considerable and probably decisive advantage for surviving economic collapse, because they have preserved what we have almost completely lost: their psychic autonomy, their know-how (which is not just a question of which button to press) and their solidarity.
Perhaps we are the dinosaurs and they are the small mammals of the current era ...
