They really are hey, an authoritarian political system that has improved the lives of over one billion people. Yet our 'democracy' slides backwards in every way.

Let's not act like they aren't doing horrible shit.

What they're doing to Muslims in their own country(which is a genocide, they are also using them for human experimentation), what happened to Hong Kong, the constant amount of issues they cause in the South China Sea because they claim every island, their constant threats to Taiwan, Tibet. It's a really long list and that's just the basic things I can think of off the top of my head. If you do a deep dive you'll discover that while they do some good in the world, they do so much worse.

They are doing some bad stuff to their Uyghurs population? Yes, but I don't know to what extent, and I know that even the worse accusations aren't saying they are massacring them. American can't say the same about the million plus people they killed when they invaded Iraq on false premises, and their support of the endless destruction of Palestine, which I can visually see with pictures of the endless destroyed residential buildings and endless aid workers killed.

what happened to Hong Kong

During the Hong Kong protests, when browsing the news, I had to scroll past articles about American cops murdering their own citizens, to read posts about how Hong Kong citizens were worried they might be the victim of police abuse, and how a HK rioter who attacked a cop with a pipe... was shot once in the leg. JFC I wish I had those people as cops here in the USA.

their constant threats to Taiwan, Tibet.

They make ominous threats to those countries. America makes direct threats to other countries and will invade and kill MANY, as mentioned with Iraq.

There's lots of stuff I can praise America for. But having befriended Chinese citizens on Discord (who admittedly have to use VPNs), I don't believe America is in a state where they can talk down to China. If a country has an issue with China, they don't have to worry about having their people airstriked and massacred.
