USA has invaded many countries in my lifetime, leading to widespread death and destruction. China has not done that. It is a very obvious and easy comparison.

China is way less kind to its own people though. Although that's changing rapidly as well...
China lifted 800 million people out of poverty in 40 years, lmfao.
You've got to be pretty privileged in the US to think that
I'm not saying the US is good in that regard, but don't forget about the ethnic cleansing happening in Tibet and Xinjiang as well as the region bound system thing that effectively by law keeps poor people poor. China is way worse than the US.
Are you living under a rock? What do you think the US is doing right now to its own people?
That's why I'm saying it's rapidly changing
They've been doing it for decades
but don’t forget about the ethnic cleansing happening in Tibet and Xinjiang as well
The thing is, alleged "secret ethnic cleansing" that still has no direct evidence after a decade is not as bad as the visible abuse that the US publicly lumps on minorities. I'd rather live in Xinjiang than be a black American any day, and the statistics back me up.
China is way worse than the US.
Only if you're a white supremacist.
China has banned the Falun Gong cult, the US hasn't, this alone is a win for China. I have a feeling when usage "US-style censorship" will overtake "Chinese-style censorship", even without China doing a complete 180º on it.
TBF, after the US got access to Rednote, they seemed pretty nice. As we're slowing turning authoritarian, it's not hard to do some grass is greener views.
...including Canada and Mexico
