China definetly has rot at the center of their society just like ours, they’ve very good lately by hiding it with propoganda.

"Those lying Asians are just as bad as us. We don't have any evidence of that, but it must be because they are so good at hiding it with their lies".

They have rampant corruption (so much that they give officals the death penalty for bribery, but it still doesn’t stop,)

So, giving severe punishment for corruption is evidence of rampant corruption, rather than of the state actually taking action against corruption (and not doing the Epstein thing)?

We don’t hear about that stuff very much in the west because freedom of speech doesn’t exist there

You mean the thing that you heard from the people who also sold you on "Iraq WMDs"?
Also, what do you expect to hear from there when you do not speak the language?
