Much further from the reality. The US has huge flaws and gaping failures with these matters, but still compared to China it is objectively way less authoritan, and has a much better track record with respecting free speech and human rights.

The rights of US citizens, yes, but our track record on human rights and free speech worldwide is not so good.

But when China is at par with what US has been, China's record of human rights and free speech worldwide will be much worse than that of US.
