so much to to unpack, so i’m going to focus on the misinformation in your comment. first, claiming china “murders anyone they disagree with” isn’t evidence – it’s hyperbole. china’s authoritarian, history suggests a necessity for it, but that line doesn’t help your argument. second, you say china turned to capitalism after “failed policies cost tens of millions of lives.” that’s a enormous, contested historical claim you’re dropping like it’s settled fact; it’s not. third, “china is great because of the us” is incredible oversimplification. china’s growth came from its own labor, reforms, and global trade – yes, including with the us, but that’s mutual benefit, not charity. you’re right to criticize billionaire wealth and long work hours. but mixing valid criticism with exaggerated or contested claims just weakens your point. stick to the facts when criticizing china – believe me, they’re more than damning enough on their own.

goldsea.com/…/china-executed-14-billionaires-for-… Hyperbole, please. They actively use capital punishment. Just because you are okay with human rights violations because it is you “team” doesn’t mean everyone else is. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Chinese_Famine It is accepted that the famine was man made. I will gladly bring receipts because I am not in denial about reality. “Over 6,700 American companies built operations in China by 2016, with a total estimated investment value exceeding $228 billion.” Where do you think China got all its investment money and technology. China helped billionaires in the US grow richer while allowing them to turn China into another capitalist hellscape. If your in denial about this that is okay. I have not exaggerated anything, in fact I have only talked about the tip of a very big iceberg. I get you are indoctrinated into their propaganda. Obviously though, you can even see through some of their bullshit.
