China is an authoritarian regime. The US is a kleptocracy flirting with autocracy.

Neither place the rights of their citizens in much regard, though money definitely helps in both places.

The possible outcomes for individuals in China though are Orwellian.

Not sure why you think China is Orwellian and the US isn’t when ICE is literally kidnapping people off the streets. Wake up mate, the Orwellian is coming from inside the house.

China has been disappearing people for dissent for decades. Whether Trump is the start of a similar regime, I guess we'll have to wait and see...

You can wait and see, or you can open the window and look outside. I know what I already saw.

You make a lot of assumptions.

Like that I'm American, or not Chinese. Or that you giving your 50 cents isn't transparent.
