It's alarming to compliment a dictatorship that keeps its people in chains, has millions of minorities in "re-education camps" and kills anyone who becomes too vocal against the party.

Just because Trump has tried to normalise just that (ref: Russia and North Korea) doesn't make it acceptable.

The US has the highest incarceration rate in the world, by a large margin, almost 7 times that of China.

That's definitely a huge problem for the USA, on many levels. However, people in the USA don't regularly self-immolate to express how badly their compatriots are treated, and this happens regularly in Tibet. One would think this would give the Western world a good idea of how oppressive the Chinese regime can be.
