    The only difference between that and the US is that China calls itself communist (china is communist in the same way the states is a democracy).

    Oh, and the Chinese actually have socialized healthcare.

      As a Canadian, I’ll back you up on that. The CCP itself can fuck off, but at this point the US has become little better. It was built on slavery and the invention of permanent intellectual property to criminalize having knowledge, and it has elected that orange monster a second time. I value my friends, not my country, because your country can still betray you and continue to say it’s still your country.
