Neither state is working for the betterment of its people over its own interests.

What the fuck kind of sentence is this?

First off, China has consistently been working to the betterment of its people year over year for the past 70 years. In 1950, the people of China were the poorest in the world after having been completely exploited by Europe to the tune of 60% of people being addicted to opium sold by Europe after Europe sacked Beijing to force them to allow Europe to sell drugs without interference. Now the people of China have a better purchasing power parity than the people in the US. In only 70 years! Educational outcomes and health outcomes have been getting better for everyone in China, including ethnic minorities, and China runs the world's largest system of ethnic autonomous regions where people speak their native language in all levels of schooling and their culture thrives.

The USA can barely educate and house it's white people. Large ethnic minorities are ghettoized. The native peoples are experiencing slow genocide after the fast genocide. Native langauges and cultures are barely limping along, many at risk of extinction. Deaths of poverty and deaths of despair run rampant.

The government in China enjoys a 95.5% approval rating. This is according to Harvard who spent 15 years researching it. The US has never seen those kinds of numbers.

And finally, the US spends more on its military than the next 10 nations combined! If you take China's military spend, and Russia's, and combine them, you still need 8 more countries to match the US spending.

As it turns out, China is absolutely, beyond the shadow of a doubt working in the interest of its people. And, when you have a functioning state, that means it's also working in the interest of the state. The interest of the state and of the Chinese people are the same. The interests of the people living on Turtle Island (native, descendants of slaves, and settlers) are absolutely not the interests of the state. None of the European settler states are working in the interest of the people living in their borders. Because that's how bourgeois democracies are organized.
