    I can agree with most of this but china aren’t know for being particularly interested in human rights and freedom of speech/press. And don’t whatabout me on the state of affairs in USA. USA and china both suck at human rights but I (I might be ignorant) think that the US in its totality still is better

      Partly because protests are still possible, big business is still accountable for everything they do, and politicians can still be taken down.

        It might surprise you, but the one thing the CCP is afraid of, are the people. There are protests and demonstrations in China. And often they are successful in reversing a policy or getting a government official who thought of some crazy shit, fired.

        These things obviously do not get reported in the west. Only the bad things because that affirms the view of China.

        I personally witnessed the protests during the covid period in Shanghai. Not long after, all covid restrictions where lifted.

          There are two kinds of people in China: those who are literally marginalized, and those who are on the take within the government and love doing all that wolf-warrior garbage.
