I’m no tankie, and chinas efforts to scrub history is one reason we should have an open Internet, not the corporate one were getting. (Yay fefiverse).
But to compare chinas prison risk with America’s is a poor argument. More prisoners in America and more racial disparity. Still a problem in China, but america seems by far the worst offender of inappropriate imprisonment from an outside perspective.
The US literally burned down 20 black enclaves because they were mad that some black people were becoming middle class.

There’s no proof or that. They’re discriminating against them certainly but genocide is a specific thing. It’s not just when you imprison a lot of people.
By that definition the US is committing a genocide against black people.
Really? How many black people are in forced labor camps in the US? Or being sterilized against their will? Having their children taken en masse to indoctrinate?
Racism and mistreatment isn’t the same as genocide.

There are a ton of people in China that “own” a home or property, but it isn’t even built or usable. There are scores of ghost cities across China that were built as part of an economic bubble.
There’s a ton of room for improvement in North America, and I’m not going to discount the fact that we need more smaller homes, and condos to be able to allow people to own a piece of property. However China’s metric is completely out of whack.
Those threads are always fun.
Both china and the us are shitholes nobody wants to live in.
The propaganda is only part of your problems.
