The newly publicized World Happiness Report 2018 by the Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) for the United Nations on March 14 has obviously given a negative answer to this question, representing the Chinese people.And Gallup, the American research-based company, which is known for its public opinion polls conducted worldwide, and on whose surveys that the UN World Happiness Report 2018 is based, will neither think Chinese people are happy under the Chinese government.Here is the proof:China is the 86th happiest country in the world according to the report, among the 156 countries it has analyzed based on their happiness in terms of income, life expectancy, social support, freedom, trust, generosity and absence of corruption, and 117 by the happiness of their immigrants.(But a smart move by the report is to list Taiwan, who ranks 26th, as a province of China, btw.)Data from: World Happiness Report 2018You know what? The report has triggered immediate attention in China, not because China, after a year of hard work and stable development, slipped even lower from the 79th in the 2017 World Happiness Report to 86th in the 2018 report, but because, as the second largest economy, and as one of the major powers in the world, with no wars or even serious conflicts within the nation for decades, China is ranked even lower than Libya, where the first civil war broke out in 2011 and the second broke out in 2014, and is still jeopardizing its people today.What’s more ironical is Libya only slipped downward from 68th in the 2017 report to 70th in the 2018 one, while China headed down 7 positions!Data from: World Happiness Report 2017Well, since I have never visited the African nation, I might not have a say whether people there are really happy or not. ![]()
