I see a China that continues to develop and manage systems that benefit 1.41 billion people.
The USA is controlled by an oligarchy and broligarchy that play a game of bullish-cruel-control. It's a finessed game of reverse psychology. So much of the 338.2 million USA population seem to trapped in a hypnotized state, are broken, and believe they are the problem.
So where's the safety? Somewhere in the rules of Bullish Cruel Control game.
I’ve always believed that the rate of crime in a society, like the rates of unemployment and wealth, are carefully calibrated by the controlling classes to whatever point they feel they can get away with.
This was very clear to me during the Crack epidemic where I lived in NY in the 80’s. An equitable society doesn’t benefit from poverty, drug use, or crime. An oligarchy thrives on them.
Sera, do you mind, and/or liked to be sourced I use the last sentence in your reply? I'd email to my brother, a friend. post on the NextDoor platform and post on my local Democrat Party FB page
Excellent. Another aspect is that when crime grows in the U.S., the attempted solution is to make it a police problem. That just creates another problem and politicians argue about it. Any system that relies on inequality has constant trouble.
Bro, you know that the prc government has totally different strategies for urban and rural china, and that with massive contextual transparency these kinds of take are just propaganda.
Is the us system horseshit? Of course, but that doesn’t mean different flavored horseshit is mana from heaven.

Well said! A good reply that accompanies Neil's thought process.
