        The PRC, a one party state which puts ethnic minorities in internment camps, is better than the democratic USA, which AFAIK hasn’t put ethnic minorities in internment camps since WW2?

        Of course the USA is a very flawed country, especially their current government, but it seems to me that the PRC is a pretty repressive regime with less political freedom than the USA.

            Maybe you mean high levels of ethnic minorities in US prisons, but I don’t think that’s the same as specifically persecuting Uyghurs in “education” centres where they are apparently raped and tortured.

            Like I said, yes the US is flawed, especially their current government, but I still think the US government is not as oppressive as the PRC government. Another example of this is the recent sentencing of Jimmy Lai to 20 years in prison, seemingly only because he supported the democracy movement in the PRC.

          Nazi goons are literally roaming American streets, arbitrarily executing people and shipping off brown people and other “undesirables” to mystery prisons in other countries.

            Perhaps it’s possible that both the current governments of the US and PRC are doing immoral things. I think the US has a bit more political freedom though.
