Yes, by far. Yes. I already explained their economy is propped up by trade. They did not create it in a vacuum.

Much of China is rural with great wealth inequality. China had its own civil war where horrific things like hundred of thousands of civilians were starved to death.

As I already said. Disenfranchised westerners often latch onto China as some kind of alternative without doing any real research. I will say China has done well for itself economically. They deserve credit where credit is due.

Having said that their government is authoritarian and saying the wrong thing will get you locked up for years and sometimes decades in prison.

China abuses minorities and engages in imperialism. They sell weapons to conflict regions and project their power in the same way western countries do.

You speak of propaganda and then say the US is about to be shattered by a civil war. Sounds like propaganda to me.
