| The gotcha's don't work on me, sorry. They've steered a massive ship (and its crew) well enough to corner the manufacturing market for everything, globally, in less than 30 years. They've steered that same ship well enough to create mirror (and sometimes superior) industries in pretty much everything else. They also created global soft power in the process. If they need to retool/manage gig work, the command and control economy in China has a much better chance at figuring it out than waiting for the "hand of the market" in US. |

| Hard to get reliable numbers, but if you go by reported deaths then yes better than the US. |

| They steered it well enough. The US, for the record, also steered it's economy well enough during Covid. But that was a 2016 Trump administration, which still had adults in the room, and a 2020 Biden one. Post 2024-MAGA isn't able to steer a bicycle. |
