This is a mental comparison. Leaving aside police gun deaths because that's it's own insane internal logic/world, do you think that black people in the US don't have more rights than Chinese citizens? So for example, what do you think would happen in both countries if a senior party official punched you on the street?

In China they'd arrest you and that would be the last anyone ever heard of you.

In the US the cops would show up and shoot you on site because they thought you had a gun. There'd be a 24 hour news cycle of outrage and then you'd be forgotten.

Well we know what happens in the US, at least if you’re a journalist

Community service, win reelection, and a trivial fine in America.
