Are you sure? How many civilians have US vs China police/military killed since 1988?



Why cherrypick numbers? Why ignore the famines (caused by CCP's poor planning) that killed millions?


It's a fair criticism, but I also think it's fair to say that China after Mao is a different entity in practise.


The US is supplying weapons to Saudi-Arabia which they use to fight in Yemen. The US has helped replace democratic governments to military / authoritarian regimes in Latin America (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_involvement_in_r...), leading to countless deaths and the very same refugee crisis that Trump is so worried about.

The US does NOT have the moral high ground here. At least acknowledge that the US sucks. China sucks too. Everybody sucks.
