    The country that executes circa 30,000 people a year looked upon more favourably than the “Land of the free”. LOL.

      Do you have a source on that? It’s about 3x the highest historical estimate I’ve seen.

      “Land of the free”

      🤡🤣🤣🤥

      The country with the highest incarceration rate in the world.
      Where you can get 20 years in prison for stealing bread to survive!
      And people are killed in their homes by police, and in the streets by ICE! 🤢🤮

        China disappears people and does not have accurate statistics about it, with heavy censorship. Even catastrophes have extremely suspect statistics.

              Freedom of speech is horrible in USA compared to functioning democracies. But admittedly it’s way worse in China.
              China is a totalitarian regime, that USA is gloating about being slightly better in some aspects, is what’s wrong with USA.
              It’s insane that on some issues, USA is actually as bad or even worse than China.
              A win compared to China is not hard, being worse than China on many issues on the other hand is insane!!!

            Yes 90k missing at the same time roughly, and their business is selling you services to look for those people. Pretty sure you can’t look for a lot of missing people in China if you like your freedom or your life, the Party won’t like it if you try to uncover their dirty deeds.

            I am not defending the US but one country is clearly way worse than the other.
