US looks very militaristic to me. It has a very broken democracy, and a history of supporting/causing brutal dictatorships.

Just to play devil’s advocate here, how many military bases has China got in other countries, compared to the US?

How many McDonald’s are there compared to general tso’s chicken?

Both comparisons are irrelevant. It is about how much control and access China/US have over tiktok/Google and the user data and algorithms.

The USA hasn’t taken territory since 1946.

The major reason for the USA being so broken is due to deregulation and corporate greed. Which is a little different in nuance to Authoritarian China.

The US doesn’t try. It just bombs the fuck out of anyone worth exploiting production of anything any private exploitator willing to play “business” there wants.

Compared to the dictatorship who are in the process of seizing land and committing genocides on their (according to them) own peoples, yes the USA are fucking saints. See this is my exact problem, two bad things are not equivalent but so many people fail to grasp that.
