I'm only posting this because I never intend to visit American soil. Otherwise I wouldn't dare. Because I know that these kinds of messages might be connected to my person and used against me if I ever come in conflict with American enforcement.

How would you know what it was like in America if you’ve never even visited?

What kind of an argument is that? Rhetorical question. We're talking about China here. Have all the people commenting here lived in China? Also a rhetorical question.

I've visited China a few times. Am I allowed to have an opinion?

So basically your knowledge of the United States comes from its least common situations?

Remember that normal everyday life is never reported. Only unusual and non-typical things are reported.

So what you're saying is your knowledge of the United States is exactly opposite of what normal life is actually like there.

Normal everyday life can be seen in statistics like child mortality, obesity, health care coverage, percentage of prison populations, number of gun deaths, prevalence of lead paint and piping, education stats and so on and so on.

I know United States is large and varied country and for some people in some places it's wonderful, but I'm sure same can be said about China or most other countries.

I'm sure there are wonderful people and things and places but those are everywhere. Those are not the things that are different in USA. USA is exceptional in other ways. A lot of them very bad.
