You were saying the US is better, all I said is that it isn't.

I did imply the US is better, and I probably should not have. And even in that I did not mean the government doesn't do horrific things. Probably should not have made the comparison TBH. That doesn't mean China doesn't also do horrific shit, even if the way they do it is different
