    What a weird thing to draw a line in the sand about. Denouncing America doesn’t sound like a crazy thing; it’s run by a cultist rapist.

      1. It wasnt when he started denouncing it.

      2. its where he lived a lot of his life and made most of his money.

      3. China is just worse in every single way on every topic

      Part of me thinks they’re holding his family and citizenship hostage, but thats not likely to change anytime soon.

        China is objectively better in almost every regard and by almost any metric. All other first world nations are better than the US in every metric. The United States only leads the rest of the world in number of incarcerated people.

        It doesn’t even lead in freedom and democracy, which is supposed to be its thing.

          China is better at being a dictatorship, better at harming democracies around the world, better at funding terrorism and coups, murdering dissidents, cracking down on protests, destroying culture and history, military aggression and border expansion, running illegal organ trades, encroaching on habitats of animals capable of spreading pandemic level plagues, selling aforementioned animals in wet markets, etc.
