> If anything, the US is still far away from as bad as China

That is a matter of opinion

I am unsure about social conditions within the countries ( freedom Vs. economic security -hard to compare)

But in international relations the USA has been a rouge state for many decades (e.g. tjr Gulf of Tonkin deception). The USA pretends to care about "values", but does not, it cares about it's own interests

China is plain speaking and cares, openly and transparently, about its interests

The USA has institutionalised hypocrisy. China sins her own sins in the open

The USA is much worse than China - to foreigners

> China is plain speaking and cares, openly and transparently, about its interests

Hum... Are you from the US or Europe?

The amount of propaganda circulating worldwide about how China is helping propel all developing nations into modernity with infrastructure investment is just ridiculous. (And yeah, there's half a truth in it, like all useful propaganda.)

> The USA is much worse than China - to foreigners

The USA is such a hellhole that millions want to come here, legally or otherwise.

What???????
