The only differing aspect I see is this: the Chinese primarily mistreat their own citizens. The US primarily mistreat whoever opposes their interests.

The latter actually affects me, being a non-US citizen.

Have you looked at China's trade balance ? China is the cause of the worldwide austerity measures (not 100%, but 90%). So I guarantee you it is affecting you personally, even in San Francisco.

Are you comparing killing people and economic policies? And do they not have the right to establish their own policies?

Do you have sources for this claim? All I can remember is some financial crisis around 2009 which lead to economic downturn and austerity. I seem to remember this crisis originated in ... the US? You disagree?

And I hated SF, very happy in Groningen for some time now.
