US colonial empire in its entirety is most corrupt ever. For US, zionist, corporatist oligarchy and monopoly supremacy is guaranteed dictatorial mandate enforced by media. In NATO and other colonies, CIA/State buying loyalty from every politician and media, while also threatening to JFK non compliance is very cheap. That the corruption of empire is more visibly extreme under Trump, doesn't mean it wasn't always there. Under direct economic war from US, NATO colonies have pledged to bankrupt their own countries with 5% of GDP in US weapons purchases to double down on a losing war with Russia, that the US started.
There needs to be military coup in US and in colonies. Constitution is worthless and corruption irreparable, IMO, but even if repairable, no one is coming close to proposing it, and the effort required within the rigged system against dictatorial pillage and designed collapse is simply too monumental.
So, Chinese system is far better than West's. Military/one party rule doesn't mean kleptocracy or oppression. It doesn't mean no one is ever allowed to make improvement suggestions. In recent survey, Chinese were more happy with their level of democracy than Western countries by a 2:1 factor. It's not even remotely close as to which is the lesser evil.
