I literally cannot think of a single way that it is better.
Its an ethnostate committing genocides in its own soil, a religious theocracy that destroys ancient temples, an aggressive expansionist military state with constant highly funded and organized propoganda, it bullies and destroys ships fo being close to their favorite spots in the wide ocean, and a single party with president for life dictatorship.
And thats only the recent shit they’ve done, the same party has been in power since Mao fucking Zedong was starving tens of millions of people for literally no reason.

You don’t get it, surveillance is fine when a private company is hired by the government to do it. /s
Never forget PRISM.

That’s freedom surveillance! Flock AI cameras at every corner tracking your every move and feeding directly to racist corrupt militarized cops is A-Okay, because China is the real evil.
