I’d love to live in the USA you’re talking about friend. This is just oriental despotism paranoia, whatever cutsie repetition slogan you come up with is not a serious argument.

I've traveled to China ~5x [0], visited a range of cities Tier 1-3 over a collective 5 months, and grew up in the USA. I also currently live in Vietnam (~3.5 years) and spent 5.5 years working for a Singaporean company and a team stationed in Beijing. I don't really know how else to express my experiences living in, working with, and interacting with people in both of these countries. Perhaps you can share how life was like for you in China? Which cities were you in? What made you feel that way about China? [0] - not including HK (~7 trips?) or TW (3 trips)

  I am not really interested in reality like this. I just repeat things I read on my social media feed. America bad. China good.

  > I don't really know how else to express my experiences living in, working with, and interacting with people in both of these countries. Could you please describe your experiences, since you didn't? I've also been to China twice now (also multi month trips). I visited Tier 1-3 cities like Shenzhen, Shanghai, Beijing, and Chongqing etc, as well as some smaller cities. I'm very curious to hear about your experiences. How did they differ from the West for you?

It's not a secret that China is run as an authoritarian dictatorship. Xi Jinping cannot be ousted in an election. He appointed himself for life, and regularly purges anyone who might usurp his power. They don't have a functioning democracy. Are you seriously disputing any of this? None of this excuses issues with American democracy.

  America is not technically a democracy. It’s a Republic

    Please have your favourite language fabricator explain to you why democracy and republic are not opposing concepts.

  Why are you responding to a comment about how bad the USA is by talking about how bad China is? Do two wrongs make a right?

I mean we shouldn’t pretend China isn’t run by a 1 party authoritarian state. It is. And it uses that absolute power how and when it pleases.
