The evening after the massacre at Orlando's Pulse nightclub, a California pastor took the opportunity to preach that "God said: When you find a sodomite, put them to death.'" A video of the sermon was uploaded by the church, then deleted "for violating YouTube's policy on hate speech." A copy of the video uploaded by someone else, describing the sermon as "despicable," was allowed to remain.

No, China is not a 3rd world country. Technically it was 2nd world [wikipedia.org], aka "Socialist." Today they have the second largest GDP in the world. You don't think they could afford to help others in the actual 3rd world if they wanted to? Countries like Germany and Japan do, and their economies are smaller than China's.
Everyone helps themselves. The merest tribe in the Amazonian rainforest will help its own. But Christians have always emphasized helping others (whether they always do that or not is a different question entirely). China helps no one but itself.
