I love when Reddit is just scream about how bad China is. Idk, as an American, it looks like they’re doing something right. Idk, maybe the whole “government investing in your citizens and infrastructure” isn’t such an evil socialist plot.

I don't want to do the whole whataboutism bc their treatment of Uyghurs is appaling. But can we really say the US is much better for their incarceration rate and detainment and treatment of "illegals" not to mention gun violence and drug abuse? I think these should also count as human rights violations.

Just condemn both. Acknowledge both fucking suck, but China is a lot more competent (and cunning). Hence the result.

How is China more cunning? The US spy even on it's own allies and has meddled in basically the whole world.
