American failures are being used to prop up Chinese successes. This is particularly true in urbanism discussions. China is by no means perfect and thinking that they are is harmful to progress.
I’m a fan of their life expectancies surpassing the US - though that’s barely an accomplishment, every developed country seems to have beaten America in that regard lol
The organs I don’t know about but the reeducation camps are not exactly secret, both for Uyghurs and their own people. There are many issues the US has but at least the average citizen doesn’t have their government disappearing them for thinking the wrong thoughts.
The US has a ton of problems, I’m not saying it’s a great country to live in necessarily (I wouldn’t move there given the choice). But it’s not a dictatorship where laws are optional for the government.
Maybe freedom doesn’t mean anything to you when you’re not the one being reeducated though.
“Lol” is always such a strong argument. Really shows that your point is to be taken seriously.
If you think that the rule of law in dictatorships is really no worse than that of a democratic country (even one that’s currently in bad shape) I think you’re delusional honestly.
We have a lot of problems with our legal systems but we don’t have gulags where we send political opponents to disappear. We don’t have government edicts telling our journalists what they are allowed to talk about.
When your own country does bad things it’s easy to look at other counties with rise tinted glasses. 國外的月亮比較圓

What are you talking about?

Again, what are to talking about? China is a democratic country.

Neither does China, though the USA does have several times more people incarcerated, including in concentration camps and torture black sites.
We don’t have government edicts telling our journalists what they are allowed to talk about.
You absolutely do. Not to mention edicts from the private entities that own both your government and your media.
What’s funny is I can’t tell if you’re talking about younger Americans refusing to hate China or older Americans chanting “China Bad!”
Both tbh

Perfection doesn’t exist, but China is on the right track imo
Sure, if you’re a fan of totalitarianism.
Totalitarian here meaning: an enemy of the USA

Have we forgot about the fucking Uighur concentration camps? Suddenly there’s no waitlist for organs after these camps start going up? China bad.
Edit: go educate yourself https://worldwithoutgenocide.org/genocides-and-conflicts/genocide-of-the-uyghurs-in-western-china/forced-organ-harvesting
300,000 people are on the organ donor wait-list in China at this very moment.
You’re a perfect example of the power of propaganda lol

Uyghurs are “their own people” and the USA has far more of its citizens incarcerated than China does.

Neither is China. Also lol at saying laws aren’t optional for government in the USA.
Again, the USA has vastly more people incarcerated than China.
