Public transit is in fact better in China. In fact public transit in China is considered some of the best in the world at this point. Pointing out a particular ways in which a communist country is better than most capitalist countries is informationally valuable, and vice versa. That’s called a nuanced understanding of the differences.
You asserting things can’t be better in China is pointlessly political. Some things are better in China, some things are worse.
Westerners are so propagandized they’ll literally argue with a map.
And tankies are so propagandised they don’t see flawed arguments if they’re in favor of their overlords.
From the linked comment you obviously did not read:
Population: Chengdu over 20 million vs. under 3 million in Toronto.
The maps above also seem to be differently scaled.
Also, the fact that Chengdu’s metro has developed fast in the past decades, as compared to Canada that has developed steadily in the past century, is not really the gotcha OP seems to imply it is.
That said, it’s perfectly possible that public transport in Toronto leaves much to be desired - without pointlessly comparing it to Chengdu.
As I said: this is a meme, not an actual argument.

All that is true, but the point I made stands. Public transit is better in China and that’s a fair thing to point out.
If you’re upset that China has better public transit, the proper response is to advocate for better public transit. Not to whine that you’re being compared to countries that have better public transit.
