The US is bad, comically so. We've got military bases on every continent, we've been at war constantly for our entire 2+ century existence, we've got the largest prison population on earth and explicit legal allowance for prison slave labor, we're the only country ever to use nukes and we used them both on fucking civilians, I could go on but I've already made my point and it's probably wasted on you anyway.
Does that mean everyone should just believe every piece of "China is the greatest thing ever and nothing bad has or ever will happen here" as gospel truth?
The point OP and others that point out the tremendous propaganda campaign against the PRC are making isn't that the PRC is a perfect wonderland, nor a horrible hellscape like the US State Department would have you believe, but a good country that is steadily and constantly improving. You're deliberately twisting OP's point into absurdity in order to feign some sort of coherence, but anyone can see right through you.
