Even if this is true....okay? China has survived multiple famines throughout its history. Some of the famines were self imposed. We saw how the CCP silenced or erased its citizens during covid. The CCP sees its people as tools for their nation, useful until they aren't.
China can survive long bouts of pain. The US can't. Our economic and political systems won't allow for it. Not only that, China is an emerging market. They should never be the standard for the most powerful and richest nation in the history of the world seeks to measure ourselves against.
