    America also uses slave prison labour

    And America has more incarcerated people than China, despite China having way more people.

      No…just no. China’s prison population is not counted correctly, just from their forced reeducation camps, its estimated they have 1-2 million people in them. The usa has around 1.2 million in prison. So no china does not have less prisoners. I don’t know where this bullshit lie showed up but it’s been repeated way to long.

      Does the USA have a problem with incarcerating people for non-violent offenses, hell yes, but that’s a whole different argument.

        China is also much larger than US. Even with your fantasy numbers US has more prisoners per capita.

        America is a authoritarian nation. You guys just killed a guy and several bystanders over a 2.9 dollar fare ffs.

      Ok, putting aside for a moment China’s totally honest and not at all fudged number of incarcerated people…

      The US allowing prison labour is something I’m disgusted by.

      But it’s still a far cry from abducting people based on their religion, sometimes sterilising them so they can’t have kids, threatening them with their life, threatening their family, and forcing them to work in factories or in construction, then using that slave labour to undercut and kill foreign competition.

      Don’t try to twist this into a “you’re complaining about China therefore you think the US is great”. I’m saying China is far worse. Because they are, and only a complete muppet would think otherwise.

      Maybe you’re ok with what China does (slavery and genocide), but I am not.

        Everything you accuse China of, the US is guilty of the same or worse. How many people in the US are in jail for the crime of being black?

        I never said China is great. They are horrible. The US is just worse.

              Not American. You’d think my spelling would’ve made that obvious.

              And lmao at thinking China isn’t hugely more authoritarian.

              Stop with this tankie nonsense. Genocide is bad. Stop defending it.

                I never said it wasn’t. But America has killed more people in my liftime than China has. In the evil overlords olympics, America wins the gold medal.

                  You’re here throughout the entire comment section pretending the US is worse (fucking LMAO), and minimising the genocide and slavery that China is engaged in.

                  Enjoy your car built by slaves from a community being genocided I guess.

                  I bet if you were around in the 40s you’d be clamouring on getting your hands on a vehicle built in Nazi labour camps.
