> The US has a constitution and courts. Companies win against the government all the time.

Again: a nonsensical statement, China also has a constitution and courts, Chinese companies prevail in lawsuits against their government[1][2].

Your turn, name some top-tier US companies which have gone against the party and the regime in the past year.

If you knew about China, you would know that local governments are basically the kids of the emperor. You can complain to the emperor about his kids. You cannot complain to the emperor about the emperor.

But even that aside, the emperor still has ultimate say in the final ruling from whatever court. Please show me the stories of courts shooting down Xi. I can show you tons shooting down Trump...

The supreme court's decisions lately seem to be more Xi oriented in style than is perhaps, comfortable, if one wishes to put some daylight between the practices of the two nations.
