We can't honestly equate the Uyghur genocide, jailing of political dissidents, Xi's dictator for life status and the CCP's censorship apparatus to the modern US, even when factoring in the ongoing travesties e.g NSA surveillance, unequal policing, and I could even throw in Epstein's killing in there if it makes you feel better.

These are not in the same ethical ballpark, and one doesn't have to be a US nationalist to recognize this.



Not sure why you're getting downvoted.

If China was so great the Children of the US rich would go there to study. Instead they either stay in the US, or go to Europe/the Anglosphere if they want to be more cosmopolitan.

The reverse however is very true.
