And just to balance the scales a little - China isn't entirely bad, and nor is totalitarianism.
In some things, having a totalitarian regime works well - Covid, for instance. If China's response had been as pathetic as America's, they'd have 15 million dead about now, instead of the paltry 4000, which were all right at the start.
Another example is how China refuses to accept monopolistic practices. Alibaba getting too much power?
Smack!
Meanwhile, how are the anti-trust cases going in USA?
No system is bad of itself - the people cause the problems, and as I mentioned before, Acton's Law has a greater chance of success in a dictatorship.
