They’re ruthlessly efficient at persecuting the Uyghurs as well. I’m not sure “ruthless efficiency” is actually that desirable in a government.

China is one extreme. The other extreme is the United States, which isn't able to accomplish anything, good or bad. All the US does anymore is renaming post offices, mailing social security checks, funding the army, and tax stuff. Tax cuts, tax credits, tax rebates, tax incentives.

China may well supersede the United States in the future, despite its treatment of minorities.

China does not have a monopoly on persecuting minorities, especially in comparison to the United States.

The US's genocidal oppression has been ongoing far, far longer than the oppression of the Uyghur people.

I'm not sure what you mean in this context. Which guard rails off of what?

The system of checks and balances that impede the efficiency of the American government.

Sorry, I'm not sure what I said that implies I would want that.
