It's a matter of degree. Not everything is black or white. Things can be better or they can be worse.
Since there is no way to just argue one's way out of it, I'll just point you to the ranking established by the World Justice Project [1] in this document [2].
Overall ranking (lower is better):
- United States: ranking 27
- China: ranking 98
- Russian Federation: ranking 101

- trasz 4y agoWhat would you say if I quoted a similar index released by Beijing (as opposed to Washington) that shows opposite score?
- ebruchez 4y agoI would say that I generally have more trust in openness, transparency, and independence than in closeness, opacity, and subservience to a single party. Therefore, a priori, I would assign more trust to documents and research produced in the "West" or other places with these values than in anything coming out of mainland China. But please, go ahead and quote.
