China treats Internet access as a public good and provides it universally as a public utility.
Actually, many countries have wider access to better connection at a more reasonable price than the US. The Internet in the US is another rent-extraction machine.
The US puts its public monies into the war machine and black budget paramilitary.
China is arguably wise to do this rather than "generous." The basis for a developed society, including the economy, is security, social cohesion, culture, institutions, and infrastructure. For a modern society this includes education and health care, and in the digital age, access to the Internet and digital technology.
