Me too, but not from China. The CCP and its goons make the US oligarchy look like a reasonable choice.

Although the US oligarchs and the segment of the US population that genuinely supports crime and corruption are doing their best to change this.

    Anytime I read someone use the CCP to contrast the American government positively, I'm like are we just ignoring the US's current active bombings and trade embargos to starve populations of other nations and the others in the last century. I'm certain I'll offend some sheltered white American people who eat up propaganda who are all about indigenous people but never bothered to really care about the US backed genocide of native Americans in Nicaragua or that native Americans in the US have the highest rates of suicide in the US or the backing of Pinochet in Chile or Los Halcones in Mexico or the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia. What percentage of the North Korean and Vietnamese populations were killed in the US invasions, how many people were killed by the US in Iraq and Afghanistan. So many indigenous people killed by the US. Millions. Very likely pushing a million if not more just these last 26 years of indigenous people around the world. Then there's the unwavering support for Israel and the genocide of Palestinians

    All they care about is them and theirs. Everyone outside the border is disposable and less than human.

    They imagine being a low income Chinese citizen working in a factory and think "I'd rather be living in America". There's no nuance, they can't even put themselves in the shoes of people struggling in the US, it's their own fault after all...

    Progranda is powerful.

    This is a gross simplification and it sounds like demagoguery to me.

    There are many well structured/thought out reasons why you would view US governance (in the general sense) in a more positive light than the CCP and this is true even if you are not American and aren't subject to their locks propaganda.

    Framing everyone who holds that view as being ignorant or provincial really undermines your arguement.

    But what really gives you away is framing US involvement in Korea as an invasion of North Korea in the same vein as the invasion of Iraq.

    Strong disagree. China is a reliable if not self interested partner.

    The US goes from selling you weapons to threatening to invade you randomly at the flip of narcissistic coin.
