Nice whataboutism, nothing has changed since the USSR, I see! The US also has its problems; this doesn't give the PCC a free pass. And those issues will likely go after the elections, something people in China haven't been able to do since the PCC took over the country.

Anyway, shall I discuss the cultural genocide being committed on the Uighurs, or the Tibetans? Or, in a quite bizarre fashion, the descendants of the Mongols? [1] The goulags created during covid? And let's not talk about all the horrors of the Mao-era PCC. Etc, etc...

Over 200,000 civilians killed in the Iraq War, and we never found the WMDs.

The US and China are pretty comparable in morality, just differently.

You are aware that there are not only two countries in the world, right? And that China could have been something in between the current maoist regime and America? Like how Taiwan is, or Hong Kong was?
