No, when using comparable standards. China's official rate uses a low threshold (~$2.30/day), claiming X% extreme poverty since 2020. But at World Bank's $5.50/day for upper-middle-income nations, it's XXXX% (2019). US official rate is XXXX% (2023) at ~$20/day per person, with near-0% extreme poverty.
