Are you saying the USA is somehow as repressive as china?

[LtWorf]

Probably more.

[jimmydoe]

Yes, only if measured by their own people.

Trump deports, half of the USA people screamed; Xin builds reeducation camps, most Chinese people are cool.

[sdevonoes]

As someone who has never visited China or the US; yes. Why? Media. School shootings, ICE, crazy president… What do I see from China? Impressive multi-million cities… and true to be told, not much.

China had a worse reputation, but not anymore since Trump leads the US.

Im not saying that the above is objective, tho

School shootings aren't carried out by the government. Crazy president democratically elected and criticised by a free press. Things that you don't like about a country are a lot different than things that will get you and your family disappeared by your government.

[LtWorf]

They are carried out because of your unwillingness to stop giving weapons to moody teenagers.

[aa-jv]

More repressive, by real statistics.
