I suppose my bias is that regardless of US 'crimes', China seems actively and publicly engaged in cleansing/territory conquering/reconquering efforts that the US is 'smart enough' to have others do, to hide their motivation, to have private/non government enterprise carry out actions, etc.
China could do well to be a little more opaque like the US  |
I'm not excusing either, I believe the actions of both are reprehensible, I recognise that as a white english speaker the US wont kill me and so I view the US practically as not a threat where as China is a threat but if I was African for instance my view would likely be reversed
