1) autarchic and autocratic mean two different things. The word you’re looking for is autocratic.
2) The US is a democracy, is pretty diverse in terms of opinions, and the US government does things that the people don’t like (just like in China). I don’t hold the individuals of China accountable for egregious and unacceptable human rights violations of the Chinese government. It is a fundamental misunderstanding of US society to say that the people of the US are inseparable from their government’s decisions.
3) You still have yet to seriously engage the notion that the Chinese government is perpetrating wholesale oppression of a class of people simply for having a different identity. Whatever the US does doesn’t change how morally reprehensible that is. What-about-ism doesn’t change the moral calculus here one iota.

Whatever the US does doesn’t change how morally reprehensible that is. The US systematically does the same to its black portion of the population since always, sometimes in extreme ways, other times in soft ways.
