What's your objective metric? The number of American websites and apps blocked in China is not one, not two, but in the thousands. Pro TikTok propaganda has convinced people too young to remember all American news/social media getting banned in China that America is the real censor here. There are multiple entities competing to "red pill" you on the reality of whatever. America is definitely the lesser evil in this comparison and it's not even close.

Civil rights aren't a zero-sum game. America must lead by example by not silencing 170 million people because of some "intelligence" that's likely less reputable than Saddam having WMDs or the Marty Rimm report.
