I do not really know much of the world outside america’s dictating media outlets that only serves to induce manufactured fearmongering and hatred for controling it’s citizens thoughts and emotions like the tyrannical oligarch it is. America is practically a monarch that pretends to be either democratic or republic. China can’t be worse than america right?
Define “worse”. What’s your concern? Level of democracy? Workplace safety? Living standards? Preserving nature and caring for the enviromnent? Mass surveillance? Economy or wealth? Independence of media? I guess these are all different questions. Generally we don’t atrribute a general single bad-ness scale to a country. I suppose both countries don’t excel at any of these metrics. But they’re not at comparable levels, either.
