If so, was it polled somewhere?

      So why is that what makes China so bad? Like most things China is accused doing of the US has done worse.

          Oh, like the freedom the US provides for me to die homeless in a ditch because I can’t afford my cancer treatments? Rah rah USA!

              You said:

              It’s about the levels of freedoms.

              I explain via personal example why the level of freedom is better in China and your response is “yes, the US is also shit.” Well done indeed.

              Can you follow conversations irl, or are you just like this right now because it’s hard for you to have your prejudices shown to be full of shit?

                  Well, let’s just say it wouldn’t have surprised me. But I wasn’t expecting you to just readily concede that the US’s “level of freedom” is no better than that of China. Especially right after you just used that as a reason why China was “bad,” specifically when compared to the US. But if you really are able to see that now, congrats, for real.

                    That’s why I said levels of freedom.

                    Is the US freer? Yes, unmistakably, you can criticise officials and you have more expression. But are you safe, will you be cared for? No. Is it as free as most wealthy nations? No, not quite.
