Big difference:

Half of Americans are resisting

There are near zero resistance in China

There are still anti-trump and anti-republican/MAGA media despite the ongoing autocratization

You cannot find anti-Xi or anti-CCP in China, most people do not have that spirit of resistance, they don't care

See all these protests, good luck finding them in China, protests in China is rare, and basically no media coverage if it even exists

I will call myself an American for as long as this flame is alive, even if its struggling as of now, its not completely dead yet, there's still time to fix this. We're not CCP-land yet. Don't lose hope, that's what the rich and powerful want, they want you to give up.
