The Chinese people aren't evil. One can reasonably argue, however, that the CCP is. The greatest victim of the CCP has been and continues to be the Chinese people, who live in a dystopian surveillance state controlled by an authoritarian ruler who has fashioned himself as a new Mao and uses whatever tactics he deems appropriate to crush political threats, suppress dissent, and eliminate ethnic and religious minorities. I have been living in Asia and for the past several years have lived approximately 100 miles away from the Chinese shores in a free and democratic country that is in grave danger because a man who can't stand being compared to a cartoon character and his sycophants believe that it belongs to them. The US is not the land of saints, but to anyone who feels the urge to engage in whataboutism regarding China, I encourage you to read about the history of the CCP, what it has done and continues to do to the Chinese and Tibetan people, its ongoing genocide of the Uyghurs and what its goals are for the Indo-Pacific. > China has triple the population of the US; it should be doing better. Doing better by what metric? Look at China's GDP per capita. The country is desperately trying to escape the middle income trap and a lot of the growing tensions in the region are related to the fact that the real picture of what's happening in China is not as pretty as the one the CCP projects.
