You are attempting to equivocate pointing out the very obvious fact that both countries are oppressive in different ways as “both sides are the same.” Seeing the world in black and white and falling for every jingoistic corporate (security state-serving) media narrative about China is the actual juvenile worldview.
> 1. human rights abuses to 2. basic reciprocal market fairness to government subsidization of companies
1. US has the world's highest incarceration rate, with minority populations extremely overrepresented.
2. The US subsidizes its agricultural products to an extreme degree, but forces poor countries like Mexico to drop subsidies that were integral to its food security and economy.
So, answer your own question.
"Both sides are the same" is mentally equivalent to a 4 year old saying "But he did it, too!" and deserves the same consideration.
