At least they don't bomb and destabilize the shit out of you. I think you have a skewed view of the worldwide reputation of the US.

I tried very hard to avoid whataboutism in my post and I never defended the US.
You editted
Yes, because previously I stated:

It's easy to criticize the US government but Chinese hegemony might be far worse.

I thought that was enough to avoid defending the US, but I guess not.

That is because in your whole post you fail to raise any significant point. It just a bit of hand-waving about the US being better than the Chinese.

It just oozes American Exceptionalism without any substance.

Just related to the source, but today in the news was that Wikipedia no longer accepts the daily mail as a valid source.

The thing in it may or may not be true.

First result searching for daily mail Wikipedia: https://www.engadget.com/2017/02/09/wikipedia-bans-daily-mai...

Are you arguing Chinese death sentences are less humane than US ones?

A pretty weak point to make.
