No one claimed the west is perfect. The claim that other parts of the world are (or would be, if only that pesky west didn’t interfere) is, however, ridiculous.
Look. I’m a practical person who believes in evidence-based policy. I believe that we shouldn’t let perfect be the enemy of good. Now, is the Chinese system perfect? No, of course not - but it outperforms just about every western system in just about every way relevant to the average person, and that’s why I advocate for it over the systems we currently have in place.
Sure, you keep telling yourself that over the sound of denying the Tiananmen Square massacre, cozying up to Russia, everything about Taiwan, the Uyghurs and the sweatshops.
I’m just going to stay in Europe, if you don’t mind.
They haven’t, but it’s not for lack of trying.

Considering the people every European country just elected, I’m sure you’ll be quite happy there.
Ooooof…
