      Worse in what? For example, China didn’t invade or bomb another country. From a World point of view USA is THE worst country in the world. OK, second worst, nobody can match Israel’s atrocities.

        Tibet and Hong Kong might disagree.
        Taiwan also isn’t a fan.

          Tibet is China. Hong Kong is China. On the other hand, Venezuala, Vietnam, Iran, Yemen, Lebanon, Serbia, Syria, Iraq, Cuba, Laos, Cambodia, … non of them are USA. Plus USA is the only nation that burn alive with Naplm bombs 100000 civilians in one night and droped two nuclear bombs on civilians.

          Bottom line, China is not ideal but USA is way much worse, from the World point of view and that for Americans is the ugly truth they don’t want to look at.

            Hmmmm the fact that China says Hong Kong and Tibet are part of China but much of Hong Kong and Tibet disagrees tells me there’s more to the story there.

            I’m not even a China hater but…c’mon lol

            Hong Kong maybe, but Tibet is no more China than Cuba is part of the US. They’re two distinct cultures with different histories. You might as well say Korea is China, Vietnam is China.

              I said “China is not ideal, but the US is much worse.” I am NOT defending the Chinese occupation of Tibet (or whatever that is), but the US is much worse than that. Only Nazi Germany, Stalin’s USSR, and modern Israel are worse nations than the US today. China, despite their crimes, is much better. From a world perspective.

            Again, they might disagree

            Are you from China, perchance?
            You did comparably atrocious things to a comparable number of your own citizens.

            Oh, and my own country (Russia) seems to be eager to one day one up you on that, btw.

            Hong Kong on paper is, Tibet definitely was an invasion. Maybe you mean to say China assimilates?

            Edit: like China is Britain of neo-colonialism and USA is France

        What China did in Iran is a lot more sinister, they provided guns and bombs to the IRGC and Ayatollah who starved and shot their own citizens earlier this year in higher numbers than the death toll from the war with the USA.

        China also promoted and helped reelect Donald Trump using TikTok which is now and has always been operated out of Beijing.
