Normally they're pretty good, but man, that is a bad fucking take. Yeah, I'm sure China is going to fall apart annnnny day now because it's exactly the same as the US.

    OK - I'll bite - what's a "legitimate" criticism of China? All I ever see is cheerleading and memes of golden Xi 100 feet tall.

      For example, that they should put more effort into promoting social progress like for LGBTQ people, thats one that I see a lot that I have no fundamental problem with people putting forward, its pretty easy to see that while there have been improvements, they have come relatively slowly and late compared to many other countries.

      Avoid making these huge narrative statements about "Authoritarianism" or "betrayals" and point to real shit that is observable and can be changed without just having a regime change. Also avoid reliance on citing pure personal experiences or shit filtered through obvious propaganda channels.
