If you want to make a thoughtful argument to compare the US's foreign policy and actions to China's foreign policy and actions to explain what you consider to be America's superiority in this, go ahead. Demonstrate that you have some real knowledge of the situation rather than merely making emotional protests and exclamations.
I think there is real value to be had in getting into the nitty gritty of American and Chinese foreign policy and where the relationship between the two is headed, but there's no reasonable discussion to be had if someone is approaching it ideologically.

So you have moved on from the nations as an whole are equals but now only look at foreign policy? I understand Rubecube asked me this but I was surprised to see you so eager to jump away from a holistic view. So do you agree, China's current actions like genocide eliminate them from any moral argument when looking at them as a complete package?
And honestly, perhaps in the morning I can list out all the reasons why the US is morally superior to China on the foreign policy front, but give me a break. There hasn't been any argument on the other side to say China is on level with the US in a moral way- zero argument presented.
So, given the lack of arguments from anyone, you can forgive me if my side of the argument supports the nation who is sending billions and billions in aid and other support to the innocent nation of Ukraine- and not the nation who is supporting the nation whose troops are actively raping women and children while murdering innocents in cold blood by the thousands.
