    China is a one-party state I wish you could realise how hilarious it is to read someone comparing the US and China on their number of political parties…

      Oh? So you are saying that there are no functional difference between a federation of 50 states, each with individual (somewhat independent) local and state governments, and the authoritarian CCP?

      When I say “China is a one-party state,” I’m not referring to political parties as we would understand them in the US (Democrat/Republican). I am referring to the actual structure of the government.

      You might want to maybe educate yourself on what a “one-party state” means in this context before trying to make snarky comments.
