The Chinese government can't do anything to me though, while the US government can... So who should I fear more?

Both, but protect the most vulnerable first

Speak up for those who can't

Saying I should fear both is like saying I should fear dying in a car accident and being mauled by kangaroos.

The Chinese Government can't do anything to me unless I go there. Meanwhile my own government here presents an ever-present real life danger on multiple fronts. I still don't exactly fear it, but at least I know which is more likely to do me harm. Or for that matter, to do harm to others with my tax dollars.
