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.

Stop it with this Muslim genocide/ mistreatment bullshit, you have no idea what's going on there. There are more than one Muslim ethnic minority. China has the largest Halal supermarket in the world and has the most variety of Halal food products. In areas of strong ethinic minorities, all official signage must be bilingual.

So, what do you say to Taiwan when they also claim the islands the PRC claims? The claims are rooted in a historical nature. By the way, Taiwan also claims Mongolia.
