There are some similarities, but there are VAST differences between China and Saudi. In China, women's rights and conditions are far better than Saudi. There are no restrictions on women driving or taking the subway or wearing whatever they want or working wherever they want. China is miles ahead of Saudi in equality. I am not sure about LGBT rights in China, but I will go out on a limb and say that they are probably better than Saudi. And then the spread of Wahhabism. China is not funding thousands of Madrasas in foreign lands to spread extremist views. China is also investing massively in renewable energy. China has its issues, but let's not conflate them with Saudis.

Sounds like Wahhaboutism.

> China is miles ahead of Saudi in equality That really has nothing to do with the issue of totalitarianism. Some people are treated equal, some people are eliminated, so you get more equality? I think China is just as immoral as SA.

While not at all equivalent to extremist Wahhabi madrassas, the Chinese government did set up the Confucius Institute to act as their propaganda arm in colleges around the world. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Confucius_Institutes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Confucius_Institu...
