False. The US prison population (relative to total population) is more than five times superior to China's. US prisons are for-profit and lease prisioners to perform slave labor for other companies.

China is not only freer than Trump's US, it is freer than Obama's or Clinton's US.

By the way, US elections have only two viable parties by design. Billionaires control the media and campaing funding. The system allows two choices for the people:

Republicans: the entire world, including its natural resources and its people, is the private property of 100 persons.
Democrats: Agreed! But we impose gender quotas on this 100-persons elite. This makes us democratic (TM).
