They aren't close; that's not what I was driving at.
China's problems and ours are leagues apart in terms of quality.
However, we do have a history of:
- assassinating and locking up political dissidents (see: Black Panthers. Yippies. Che.)
- selling out politics to elite private interests (see: congress)
- spying on our own citizens (see: COINTELPRO, snowden leaks et al)
It's a different flavor, but don't kid yourself; we suck real bad.

But your view on it being some sort of hell hole is so warped I feel very bad for you. The mindset of living like that must be so depressing.
