        China is a paper tiger economy built upon slave labor, fast consumerism, and environmental destruction. If and when such cultural habits change the consumer economy will collapse, and that’s with believing the fake numbers the Chinese government releases. Along with population decline and the top heavy population caused by the one child policy, the economy will stagnate even further.

        China is 15-20 years behind on the technology curve for domestic research and production. Their current technology base is literally copied from the rest of the world.

        Politically, massive degradation of rights and freedoms for citizens, civil rights violations against minorities, the religious, and the political opposition. They have actual concentration camps, not just detainment centers in the US people bring up.

        China has one leg up on the US with a comprehensive health coverage… if you avoid being a forced organ donor for the elite.

          Lol a lot of the stuff you said describing China is also describing the US. The real difference is the US has a better marketing department. Remember when the kindly pilgrims became best friends with the Indians in America?

            I have a theory that America already was the “Nazis” back when they committed a genocide on native americans, except America never got stopped like the Nazis did.

            Not a lot of that accurately describes America currently. And if we want to reach into history, China has a history or destroying a group of people to replace them with Han Chinese, and it is still currently happening.
