People here have media literacy and can draw their own conclusions.

I haven’t done the research, but I wouldn’t be surprised if all three of these are true:

  1. Literacy in China is higher than in the US.
  2. US literacy is falling while Chinese literacy is rising.
  3. The two literacy studies that were compared in this infographic are not really comparable.
