Anything else than democracy is shittier

You're just plain wrong about that. The Chinese government hates any kind of social unrest and do not tolerate anything close to the protests happening in the US. The pro-palestine movement in China is suppressed harder in China than in the US.

If you were saying anything good about China I might agree with you, but you are not saying anything good about China. What you are complaining about in the US is a lot worse in China.

I love China, say anything that's positive about China and I'll agree with you.

She made a few public appearances, that means she's on indefinite house arrest or something similar. Could be worse of course, this is indeed not the best example.

Some better examples:

Never heard of the Xinjiang concentration camps? In China it's also mostly brown people who criticize the government who are disappeared, the billionaires are the exceptions that make the news.

The USA might be getting worse, but it's still a far cry from China.

In the US making people disappear without due process is news, in China it's a daily occurrence.
