I mention “independent studies” because people are insane and will call anything pro-China you say as just Chinese propaganda.

You’re just talking out your ass here lmao. This is objectively not true.
China has better infrastructure. Better education. Better affordable healthcare (and they are rapidly about to eclipse the US in our capabilities). 90+% of Chinese people own their own homes. China is one of the safest countries in the world.
What freedom are you talking about? The freedom to die on the streets from preventable illness? The freedom to work 40+hrs a week and live out of your car because you are priced out of housing? The freedom to get shot at the grocery store because someone with a gun is having a mental episode? The freedom to get brutalized by an unaccountable police force?
What freedoms are you talking about?
Do you think a people who were living in poverty and had terrible living conditions would be overwhelmingly supportive of their government? Come on now think for a second here.
Compared to the robust system of democracy in the US where corporations buy elections and the average person never gets to see a single policy enacted that benefits them? Is that what you’re comparing China to?
You say this like it’s an own when it’s actually China flexing on us.
That’s funny because literally China is one of the countries with the highest approval of their government by independent studies.
So even if you’re telling the truth the vast majority of the Chinese people disagree with your sentiment.
You got any sources for this or are you just racist?
China has more high speed rail than every nation on the planet combined. They have a much easier time traveling within their own country for very little money than say the US. Or do you think the rail is all just there for show?
Case in point here my friend - https://www.scmp.com/economy/china-economy/article/3327402/chinas-super-golden-week-forecast-spark-travel-boom-home-and-abroad
And being able to opt in just with a container label is super convenient
Ah nothing of substance to add got it
I’d love to hear one thing you think China is doing that is bad that the US is not also doing to a larger degree. Please enlighten me.
Pick any city in the Midwest and compare to any proportionally sized city in China. Like just about. Infrastructure is crumbling everywhere in this country while China has built more high speed rail than every other nation on the planet combined.
The priorities speak volumes.
Tell me you have no idea of the history of Tibet without telling me
You are missing my point entirely. I’m addressing your point - it’s just dumb. No party is owed voters - they must work to do things to get those voters to support them. The Republicans do this all the time. The Dems do not. That’s it. If they want people to vote for them, they need to have a compelling platform that actually gets people in their base excited - like how the Republicans do.
Republicans see their base being transphobic and they throw them a bone on that. They see them hating immigrants and they throw them a bone on that. It serves their interests sure, but it also keeps their base in line and willing to support them on the more heinous things that just hurt them in the long run.
By contrast the Dems see their base wanting things like healthcare or to stop funding genocide and what do they do? They ignore it and double down on the Republican talking points to try and pull some of their voters away rather than just run on the policy that would make them extremely popular and a shoe in to win elections.
Do you see what I am saying yet?
The Republicans feed their base with wins regularly. Sure they don’t care about the hypocrisy or whatever as well, but it’s also that they are actually doing things for them. Now these things don’t really change their lives but it sure makes them feel good.
When do the Dems do this?
Brother you keep saying you aren’t these things but we can read what you’re writing…
If the shoe fits…
How do you think the Republicans became so powerful in this country?
By being nice and letting their ideological enemies flourish?
No - they take advantage of the vulnerabilities.
Well the Republicans are currently doing whatever they want because the Democratic party has been so utterly worthless for so long.
They can’t fight against fascism in an election and barrel to the right. They can’t fight fascism when they’ve lost and the fascists are in power.
The Dems deserve every ounce of vitriol they are getting right now they are a fundamentally useless organization that only serves as the slightly less mean wing of conservative thought in the US.
Edit: Also yes you are absolutely advocating for the moderate/centrist liberal approach here.

Brother I only said what I said became you literally said you thought me saying it was weird.
If you want to look at living standards you can compare cost of living, access to public transportation, cost of food, medicine, you name it. Its all cheaper and rapidly approaching parity with the west, if not already surpassing it. Specifically with thr
But again living standards are often highly correlated with approval of your nation and the government running it.
