Read again: "Bad" as categorization alone is worthless. Because it is far to inprecise. If one car driver is 10 km/h over the speed limit on a country road and another drives over and kills a child, then both are "bad". But to treat both incidents as equal would be plain demented. Yet you do just that regarding China and the USA...
Scale is the difference.
Also what "bad" stuff are you even talking about? Because if you are talking about invented events, then they are also not "bad" of course, because they did not happen in the first place!
