    but no one from democratic countries would want to align to countries with you know... authoritarian.

    The US is way more authoritarian than China, probably the most authoritarian country in the world by any reasonable metric, so I don't see your point.

    Not trying to make the US flawless, it's clear they aren't, it's just that they're lesser evil than China.

    A fundamentally ridiculous assertion, the US is many orders of magnitude more evil.

            Youve made not a single argument as to why or how China is a "greater evil" than the US, you deserve nothing but mockery in response to such a nonsensical assertion. And it's telling that you have to reach for ridiculous claims about your interlocutors who you know nothing about instead of reaching for any actual argument, which is what you would do if you had one. On some level I think you actually know the US is worse or you would have attempted to argue the point instead of making stuff up about me.

                concentration camps for Muslim minorities

                Ah sorry, you didn't get the memo, that one doesn't play any more!

                The deradicalization campaign finished and now that terrorism is over, the schools closed down.

                All 10-15,000 people involved now know Mandarin and a trade.

                Which one has concentration camps for Muslim minorities and bully their neighbours? Which one arrests and send their citizens to concentration camps for criticising their government?

                Not China, that's just made up nonsense. The US does have concentration camps along its souther border to detain the people fleeing conditions the US created with it's ultraviolence against Latin America though, and does hold Muslim prisoners without trial in a torture camp that they illegally operate on Cuban soil, for example.

                Which one has been bombing or invading some country somewhere every single day for the last 40 years and which one hasn't bombed or invaded anybody over the same time period?

                Which one has the largest prison population in the world despite having far fewer people? Which one has cops kill almost 1,000 people every year? Which one has 800 military bases around the world to enforce its hegemony on other countries? Which one was founded on slavery and genocide? Which one used nuclear weapons on civilians, which one maintains a nuclear first strike policy to this day? Which one has hundreds of thousands of people sleeping in the streets?

                  But if they don't exist how can we sneer at the poors for their poverty while also simultaneously claiming that they're privileged and pampered as a dismissal of their criticisms?

                I wish the phantasms in your mind really existed because bilking the US like that would be rad. Unfortunately, only the rich get that much money from the state for free.
