    Applying "good" or "bad" labels to any non-revolutionary country is a bad take IMO. China is too large and entrenched in the global status quo to be considered revolutionary and/or good, I think. They just are what they are. I can say with plenty of conviction that even with their drawbacks in their domestic policy, and their non-internationalist "socialism", they are far "better" than the US (not necessarily "good" or "bad" still). The easiest thing to point to is that they don't have 600 foreign military bases

        Close enough, but don't say China bad to libs, it's none of their business. If you can't stomach defending it, then just don't say anything at all.

          I mostly just say "china did a lot to lift people out of poverty in a relatively short amount of time." And leave it at that.
