If you were saying anything good about China I might agree with you, but you are not saying anything good about China. What you are complaining about in the US is a lot worse in China.
I love China, say anything that's positive about China and I'll agree with you.
China will not black bag people for supporting Palestine. Palestinian Liberation is as the forefront of the fight against fascism that is unfolding. Their future is our future. China is not suppressing the speech of people that speak out against this genocide. That's why I would say China is "better" right now. Because they are better on the most important issue today. Whether that is by chance or has alternative incentives that does not matter. The US is absolutely worse than China on the free speech that matters right now.
You're just plain wrong about that. The Chinese government hates any kind of social unrest and do not tolerate anything close to the protests happening in the US. The pro-palestine movement in China is suppressed harder in China than in the US.
Notice how that's not the same as black bagging someone? I swear I'm taking crazy pills. Are you paying attention in the US?
China's suppression certainly includes black bagging people, no idea where you got that from. Are you paying attention to China?
