Try reading about China outside of the main US media outlets. You'll gain a different perspective. It'll help balance out your biases.

IE. If you 99.99% of what you read about the US is doom and gloom, you'd think the US is ending too.

In just the last 2 years, US has had mass racial driven protest, people storming a government building looking to murder the vice president, Trump election denial, Trump covid mishandling, highest inflation in 50 years, involved in another war, bungled Afghanistan exit, anti-vax movement, anti-science movement, anti-semitism and neo-nazis, regressive female rights, countless mass gun shootings, highest murder rate amongst developed countries and 12x higher than China, lower expected life span than China.

Which country is more stable again?

When were the Capitol rioters prosecuted for attempted murder?
I'll take your whataboutism which doesn't even pretend to answer the OP's question and just point out the government isn't harvesting people for their organs, especially from religious dissidents. Last time I checked hasn't killed a bare minimum of 70 million of its own people, although you could fairly adjust that down for populations at the time.
I did answer it. Look at the question in the topic and my answer.

I don't condone killings of any kind. I'm not saying China is the benevolent. I'm simply describing the current state and giving an example of how bias and propaganda can heavily influence a person's views without the person noticing.
