Enumerate the ways the Chinese government is worse than the US government. Take the plank out of your eye before complaining about the spec in theirs.
You don't get it, surveillance is fine when a private company is hired by the government to do it. /s
Never forget PRISM.
That's freedom surveillance! Flock AI cameras at every corner tracking your every move and feeding directly to racist corrupt militarized cops is A-Okay, because China is the real evil.
Two things can be bad at the same time.
I literally cannot think of a single way that it is better.
Its an ethnostate committing genocides in its own soil, a religious theocracy that destroys ancient temples, an aggressive expansionist military state with constant highly funded and organized propoganda, it bullies and destroys ships fo being close to their favorite spots in the wide ocean, and a single party with president for life dictatorship. They've got a massive and increasing homeless population because the government gets to decide where they "live". They do pretty good on pollutions per capita but now they're trying to grow their capita again. The use financial coercion and manipulate markets at every opportunity even going so far as to mass produce products at a loss in order to push others out of markets. The fund fucking Iran and the Taliban to wage proxy war, and are as active in South America as the CIA ever was.
And thats only the recent shit they've done, the same party has been in power since Mao fucking Zedong was starving tens of millions of people for literally no reason.
And, you can even blame the current turn for the worst that the USA is going through on them because they explicitly endorsed Trump and spread promotion of him through TikTok in a bid to save their psyop from being banned.
