And? How's that different from China?

China does not have an independent judiciary.

US, on the other hand, definitely doesn't - everyone from the top is chosen by politicians.

I’m not claiming anything controversial. The SPC openly says that they follow the guidance of the Party. https://qz.com/886665/xi-jinping-promised-legal-reform-in-ch...

The US has a judiciary comprising of judges picked by politicians from two competing parties.

>the guidance of the Party

>politicians from two competing parties

Here the term “party” means something completely different from above. If you imagine the political system as layers, China places boundaries between those layers differently from the West, and if you continue to use the terms for those layers (“party”) without realizing this, you’ll arrive at silly conclusions.
