No thanks, I'll take America with all its flaws.

No I am not ok with Xi for life, possible invasion of Taiwan, suppression of Hong Kong democracy movement, and re education camps of Uighur. I never supported that.
However, I am also not ok with US invasion of Iraq under the lie of WMD, $2 trillion dollars wasted in Afghanistan, not helping poor people get out of poverty, the rich getting richer and the grip of special interests in US politics. You made a statement that you appear to be ok with these issues in the USA. You must be one of those people who “trust” the US government no matter what.
That is the difference between you and I. I recognizes flaws and criticizes “both” countries and advocate government “reform” and changes in “both” countries. Since you accepted the flaws in the USA which means there are less likely reforms and changes in the USA government. You just proven exactly my point is that once you decided the US government is perfect or better than China then there is no reason to change or reform the US government for the good of all Americans.
All I was saying is that changes and reforms appear to be happening more in China than the USA. The likely reason for this: More Americans like you accept the status quo in the USA.
