    is it?

    how is the us treating communists, smaller trade unionists, palestine supporters, blm people and such over there? those people have sharp criticism and are the true dissenters to varying degrees.

    ask one of those what could happen to them if they get singled out as a leader or something. i judge by actions not words.

    e: immigrants too

      I think you 100% missed the point. No matter how the US treats people, China can also treat people terribly. They are not mutually exclusive.

        You were saying the US is better, all I said is that it isn’t.

        One of them never sponsored a coup in my and most of my neighbouring countries.

          I did imply the US is better, and I probably should not have. And even in that I did not mean the government doesn’t do horrific things. Probably should not have made the comparison TBH. That doesn’t mean China doesn’t also do horrific shit, even if the way they do it is different
