China is pretty evil, but it wouldn't be anywhere near the top of my list of corrupt and evil countries. There's plenty of evil to go around, and I'm not sure how China is supposed to be corrupt.
How is the PRC evil?
You think they only started now???!
That's evil, yes, and I did say China is pretty evil, but it's not really corrupt. Corruption would be officials exploiting their positions for personal gain, and while I could be wrong this isn't something I associate with China.
they have it of course, but so does literally every country and so has every country since time immemorial.
But yeah to my knowledge at least on a local level china is weirdly good at being democratic, even.
