I literally said this to a tankie on here once, and they responded "Yes, unironically."
Edit: I'm sorry, I said "totalitarianism". Not better.
Actually worse
US imperialism has set a dictatorship in my country that lasted 21 years, killed and tortured people in the most horrible ways and led to unimaginable inflation, while Chinese imperialism here has been decreasing donkey population by buying them and making a tea that makes you more masculine supposedly.
Well, China also is actively committing a genocide against their Muslim minority and invaded Tibet
At the moment Chinese propaganda is working in a far superior way than murican propaganda, so yes, I agree with the me me.
I have seen videos about how they have invested in their cities and public transit and the cheap futuristic cars and rich cousine the people make in China itself. But from I understand now their education system is kind of useless with their entry test forcing people into a certain career they don't want, so companies hire more on likeability, queer rights is horrible, women's rights are behind and while it isn't quite dystopian people are scared to say anything that offends the government. And everyone knows they have the most invasive privacy system, they will even use it for things like knowing automatically that you paid for a train ticket wheb you walk in so it feels like a plus as long as you're a good citizen. The cost of living compared to wages is definitely lower there right now though, but I don't think I would ever move to China. Honestly, almost anywhere looks better than the US in the 2020's. I think Mexico looks better in most places. Europe looks so so much better.
China isn't as successful at imperialism as the Americans. The American ruling class is just... Too good at being evil.
Doesn't mean that China and Russia aren't imperialist though. They're just unable to beat the US... For now...
China and Russia are taking over in the soft imperialism department, because some billionaire moron had to kill USAID. Let's hope their soft imperialism won't have really bad consequences human rights-wise (though the US also had a spotty record with that).
Looking at human rights in russia... doesn't look too good, chief, not gonna lie. At least China pretends for the media.
China: persues peaceful reunification with Taiwan
The West: "LOOK!!! THEY'RE LIKE US! WORSE THAN US!!!" invades nation illegally
Okay, buddy.
