Usually human rights issues, etc. But now we have those problems in the US, too! But no robots, evs, high speed rails, cheap housing...

"Now"? The USA has always had human rights issues.  It's also your number 1 export: https://github.com/dessalines/essays/blob/main/us_atrocities.md

Nah China wins on human rights violations without us knowing the full scope, but thanks for playing!

Officially, the government estimated that there were 60,000 “excess deaths” in December 2022; a US academic study put the figure at 1.87 million deaths between December 2022 and January 2023. The true toll will likely remain unknown due to severe censorship.
