Give me 1 reason why the USA, the (for now) leader of "the west", is morally superior to China?

I’ve got one. The US doesn’t mow down its citizens with tanks for protesting, and then perpetually suppress all discussion of the incident.

(Yes, there have been situations that are similar in theme, but they paw in comparison to that incident.)

		You felt the need to backpedal before hitting submit, so you're almost there.

China doesn't allow people to freely leave the country. How is that ok?

I see Chinese citizens traveling abroad every day. Doesn't look like they cannot travel. Freedom of what exactly? Are you really free in America when you have to toil away 12 hours per day to make ends meet? Honestly funny to see people falling for American propaganda.

They only let some of them out. And it's hard to get a passport. Most other countries work the opposite way. You need approval to enter. In China, you need approval to exit.

Personally, I'm against both of those.

So just no borders? That's fair I guess.

		One way to think about it: if every country prevents people from entering, the effect is exactly the same as one country preventing people from leaving.

Very few Americans commenting here have to toil away for 12 hours to make ends meet.

China's economy is very much capitalist.

		Communism is a political and economic ideology aiming for a classless society where the community, rather than individuals, owns major resources like factories and land, distributing wealth based on need.
