You know, I really do feel like as a whole China is becoming more advanced than the U.S. if not already have. And I will fully acknowledge the U.S. backsliding into regressive imperialism. But the booty lickers that are internet tankies have absolutely turned into the most obnoxious know it all suckers for stuff that can be easily overcome with real world experience. And I still carry a strong suspicion that all of their parroted talking points are being spoon fed by some insidious bot farm.
China can be great, but can be terrible. Rural Hukou? (Household Registration) You're already already fucked from the start. ADHD or neurodivergency, well you get treated like shit. Need emergency care, well you're fucked. Oh its not like US fucked with bankrupcy, you literally do not get treated unless you pre-pay or show proof of insurance (which most people do not have at least when I left), its a common tv trope a poor person cannot pay for emergency surgery and have a rich relative to pay for it. Gaokao (Chinese National Examination) is like 10x harder than SAT or ACT. There's just too many people to compete for jobs.
That's not to say the US is great, you just get a slightly better roll of dice in the US. Currently, you are better off in the US than China, even as someone with Chinese ancestry. The freedom and opportunities often outweigh the racism. Just stay away from red states lol.
But the future might change.
Perhaps, one day the racism in the US could outweigh the dictatorship and censorsbip of China.
Time will tell.
As for white or even black people, the USA is definitely better. China just isn't like the USA, its homogenous, not meant for foreigners. Well, unless you get a so-called "white monkey job" which is a pejorative term for white people who are perceived to be hired simply for their looks, and pretend to be a foreign "expert".
Edit: Mixed up perogative and perjorative
Human rights are definitely where they suffer the most I'm sure. The enormous disparity between city and rural quality of life too.
What’s your ML username?
No ml account, why?
Will he approve cool dog? I am seeking approval for the cool dog
I have heard from a source on the inside that the cool dog is actually also the woke dog (complimentary, as on
derogatory) as well 
hexbear user try not to use stupid reaction images in every single fucking post challenge
(physically impossible)
:(
Idk what tone you meant for that exactly but, asking genuinely, why do you dislike them? I just use cuz they're fun imo and sometimes help clarify meaning of sentences. I do try to be cognizant of where I am on our federated network and avoid using the ones that represent some kind of Hexbear inside joke lol, like those ones don't. I know I'm not alone in using them for those reasons cuz even Reddit supports inline reaction images these days lol. Besides all the social platforms supporting them (mainly cuz people like to use them imo), even Unicode's emoji partly consist of a bunch of assignments for common reaction images lol (although, 🤓, cuz they do have to work in a global context they are usually much more strictly semantically defined and unspecific)
