US is regressing on trans rights, abortion, etc. Free speech is under threat with the president “attacking” media institutions. You have daylight murder by federal agents followed by propaganda campaigns to blame the victims themselves or on the Democratic Party to create more political friction.
No one is saying China is perfect in these threads, we’re just saying the US isn’t necessarily better. Two countries can be shitty simultaneously.
Two countries can be shitty but the US hasn’t yet put a million of its citizens in jail because of ethnicity. Maybe going there in the future. That won’t white wash what China is.
The US, with around 4% of world population, has around 25% of the worlds prisoners, vastly higher in total and percentage wise than China.
It has put like 3 million, a quite a lot due to their social class. Disproportionately impacting a minority ethnicity in the process.
Still not making China a good country

Even current events show this to be false, let alone: Jim Crow, Japanese Internment, Native American reservations, etc ...
