I at no point claimed the PRC were angels. The entire point was that One-Party States do not inherently kill more people or are more repressive. I don’t necessarily like Deng Xiaoping theory and the current socialist system in China, but to claim that it’s on the same level of or worse than the United States is absurd.

I made no such claim. I was very clear about the US, it is an absolute death machine.
I don’t need to defend any nation and the awful shit they have done. I just point out that the majority of it is a web of lies. This is because of the ridiculous amounts of propaganda.
Fascists all around with China the brand new version. Money talks and that is all governments will listen to. I would hardly celebrate this outcome.
