    America also uses slave prison labour

    And America has more incarcerated people than China, despite China having way more people.

      Ok, putting aside for a moment China’s totally honest and not at all fudged number of incarcerated people…

      The US allowing prison labour is something I’m disgusted by.

      But it’s still a far cry from abducting people based on their religion, sometimes sterilising them so they can’t have kids, threatening them with their life, threatening their family, and forcing them to work in factories or in construction, then using that slave labour to undercut and kill foreign competition.

      Don’t try to twist this into a “you’re complaining about China therefore you think the US is great”. I’m saying China is far worse. Because they are, and only a complete muppet would think otherwise.

      Maybe you’re ok with what China does (slavery and genocide), but I am not.

        Everything you accuse China of, the US is guilty of the same or worse. How many people in the US are in jail for the crime of being black?

        I never said China is great. They are horrible. The US is just worse.

            this is how most americans react to being told that they are an authoritarian country.

              Not American. You’d think my spelling would’ve made that obvious.

              And lmao at thinking China isn’t hugely more authoritarian.

              Stop with this tankie nonsense. Genocide is bad. Stop defending it.

                I never said it wasn’t. But America has killed more people in my liftime than China has. In the evil overlords olympics, America wins the gold medal.

                  You’re here throughout the entire comment section pretending the US is worse (fucking LMAO), and minimising the genocide and slavery that China is engaged in.

                  Enjoy your car built by slaves from a community being genocided I guess.

                  I bet if you were around in the 40s you’d be clamouring on getting your hands on a vehicle built in Nazi labour camps.

                    China didn’t invade Iraq, Afgansitan, Syria; bomb Yemen, Libya or support Israel.
