What actually happens to homeless people in China?
Chinese and especially expats in China love to brag about how superior Chinese cities are because there are no homeless on the street. And in my experience this is largely true.
The idea that there is “no homelessness in China” seems hard to believe though. Yes, drug addiction is much less of an issue. But there is still massive inequality, high unemployment, and not much of a social safety net, so logic would dictate that there must be many - perhaps millions - of Chinese people who can’t afford to house themselves.
I’m not suggesting there must be something sinister happening. That’s why I asked here instead of r/China, where I’m sure I’d be informed they are all killed and their organs harvested. Are there lots of shelters? Cheap social housing? Other ‘facilities’?
