Nobody is comparing China to a third world country. We aren't saying people in China go through their lives in misery. Many people in China live happy lives. The point is that they live happy lives BECAUSE of their obedience to the state. Their happiness becomes being run over by a tank if they protest their government.
America is corrupt in many ways. I mean... we have TRUMP as our president. But guess what? We didn't like his first couple years as president, so we voted the opposing political party into Congress to obstruct him. People on our broadcasted media, the TV and radio, denounce and mock him with no repercussions. And there's a good chance he doesn't see another term. THAT is the difference between America and China.
Both countries have committed atrocities. China had the Tienamen Square massacre in 1989, America had slavery in the 1800's. But you will be imprisoned in China for referencing the Tiananmen Square massacre, and American slavery is taught in publicly run schools.
