They’re both bad. China is full of pollution issues (though admittedly making progress), global blackmail (well mostly Africa) and terrible (virtually non-existent?) privacy. And a totalitarian capitalist state.
USA is an Idiocracy also full of pollution issues, mind numbing idiocy, and a declining imperialist empire full of (and I really can’t emphasize how many) idiots that’s a cancer spreading fascism and oligarchy.
Finland is, well, here. The Prime Minister did some corruption with an ice hockey stadium, but that’s recent and we’re waiting to see if he’ll be jailed. If he isn’t, we’ll be joining the ranks of corrupt capitalistic oligarchies I suppose, but we’ve had an okayish track record so far. Never invaded other countries (USA and to a much lesser extent, China) or tried to annihilate others (Taiwan).
Not a chin defender typically but why is what China is doing in africa black mail? Especially in comparison to traditional banking loans used to leverage natural resources away from africa?
A better term is usury. Or simply exploitative loans. And the ideal is that NO ONE should be exploiting the resources of other countries. Not the US. Not China.
You might be better at trolling than I am. Although, you are picking a way easier target here. Challenge yourself, go after something a large group on lemmy actually likes, consider zipper merging.
How many illegal wars of aggression has China started in the last 50 years? What about the US? How many civilians has China killed in the last 50 years? The US?

Damn, you really bit the propaganda apple didn’t you?
Yes the US is worse, but not by much. Your hypothetical level would be closer to 12 or something. 13-14 because of Trump.
When 18-20 would be Nazi Germany

In the last 50 years, US sanctions killed 38 million people.

In a sufficiently capitalist society, it is impossible to distinguish the dumb from the propagandized.
