I'm from a western country and I know for a fact that homicide rate in US is 6 times worse than China

(6/100,000 in US VS <1/100,000 in China)

Maybe US has some problems on its own...

Even if the quality of these data sources were comparable it still wouldn't be relevant to this conversation. Career criminals killing eachother in major cities has nothing to do with foreign surveillance and human rights.

  • It has a lot to do with what kind of criminal lobby is in charge

    As European I prefer Chinese communists to American warlords that can't stop selling guns to everyone

    If you think about it, the "greatest democracy of the World" has homicide rates worse than Nigeria and Congo and is engaged in more wars than any other country.

    Can an US citizen really criticize other countries for being fascist?

    p.s. the data is good

    • If europe sides with China, they will eventually be cutoff like what is happening with China. It will take a couple of decades and I don't see it turning around to go back at this point.

      The question for Europeans will be which market they prefer to do business in. Are you so sure you prefer your current choices? Does your country have memories from Stalin and Lenin? That's the type of communism you are getting with CCP with a huge helping of corporate espionage, manipulation, and double standards.

Everyone has problems, your comment is off topic and does not enhance the conversation.

  • US is currently the laughing stock of the world, look at the COVID-19 rate, it is going up after months of mismanagement by trump.

    not many countries have problems like that, you can pretty much count on such countries on one hand - US, india and brazil.

  • > Everyone has problems

    But very few countries have homicide rates worse than US and lower life expectancy, despite having the highest spending per capita in health care in the World

    So maybe before criticizing, fix your own problems.

    Assuming you can.

    • https://www.worldometers.info/demographics/life-expectancy/

      25th percentile means 3/4 of the worlds nations have a lower life expectancy. If the concepts of many and few have switched, I might consider thinking about things you have posted the last few days.

      Given your strong sentiments against several groups of people in blanket statements, I suspect you will find yourself consistently down voted and flagged when you speak like this.

      Your tone has also been consistently combative, likely another reason you are being down voted
