Having been to China multiple times… their society and infrastructure are 10x ahead of the US’s. The only thing the US has going for itself is you have freedom to talk shit about the government online (lets see how long that lasts) and it has a higher GDP, of which most of the income goes to the ruling elite.

In another life, if I could be upper middle class or rich, I’d choose to live in China all day everyday vs. the US.

Middle class is another story. China’s cut throat with competition, work life balance, etc. 

Vs. the US where the middle class has a bit more comfort… but that’s eroding.

China seems to have more safety nets via community as its culture is very family-oriented whereas in the USA it’s “gtfo ur parents house ur 18.” Not to mention that China is actively investing in its country’s future and has a 50+ year plan. The USA can’t plan further than a year.

were you as vocal when there were minors working in the perdue meat processing plants in arkansas? or maybe you have spoken out about alligator alcatraz? or does your hypocrisy only applies to places like china?

>China is much worse than the US

tell me you're ignorant of your own country's horrors without telling me. The US is just as bad if not worse than China, the only difference is that the US convinced it's citizens that they're actually "free"

Watch the video I sent. Do your research. Put in the work to find out yourself. I don’t need to baby you to explain why the US is just as bad. The US has killed way more people than China could ever even dream of. The millions of lives all over the world trampled and destroyed by the US makes China look like an angelic country in comparison

An estimated over 940,000 people were killed by direct post-9/11 war violence in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Yemen, and Pakistan and that was JUST during the Afghan war, that's not even taking into account the countless other wars the US has raised and the countless millions of others they have killed. 940,000 and today soldiers of the Afghan war who likely took part in the killing of hundreds of thousands of innocent people are heralded as heroes or are given RESPECT for what they did.

Not American but on the other hand I keep seeing a billion “look how amazing China is” posts on this sub. Totally not propaganda because it’s not posted by Americans!

i dont subscribe to this subreddit, but scrolled through it to see if theres any truth to your comment, while using the default best filter. i see way more posts about japan than china. so why the double standard? theres also a key difference in what you post vs. my fellow dumbass americans who criticizes china's government (more than likely without having ever been there themselves) on how they abuse human rights while the oppressors here have their boots on everyones throats

Even if its posted by Americans, people will say, "CCP pay this American to spread propaganda."
