Two countries can be shitty but the US hasn’t yet put a million of its citizens in jail because of ethnicity. Maybe going there in the future. That won’t white wash what China is.

The US, with around 4% of world population, has around 25% of the worlds prisoners, vastly higher in total and percentage wise than China.

It has put like 3 million, a quite a lot due to their social class. Disproportionately impacting a minority ethnicity in the process.

Even current events show this to be false, let alone: Jim Crow, Japanese Internment, Native American reservations, etc ...
