What it means

A grotesque cartoon creature stands in a crowded Chinese-looking street while a list promises increasingly horrible living conditions, ending with “and you WILL be happy.” The joke is bleak authoritarian satire: terrible conditions are presented as mandatory prosperity and happiness, making this useful as a reaction to dystopian propaganda or forced optimism.
