In the USA, multiple political parties balance each out other.

In China, there is 1 party. 1 view. 1 definition of the Truth.

I’d love to live in the USA you’re talking about friend.

This is just oriental despotism paranoia, whatever cutsie repetition slogan you come up with is not a serious argument.

2 parties, there are only two parties. and they vote on a majority of issues the same way. defense spending, judicial nominations, rote legislation, etc.

at least china isn’t pretending to be anything else

In usa, the two parties seem to disagree on the surface only. Look deeper and you see one course. For example support for Israhell

Is this what Americans really believe?

That balancing doesn't seem to be working very well lately, considering all the insane stuff Trump gets away with it. Sure, China is a dictatorship, but I'm not sure America will meet the definition of a democracy for long anymore.

2 parties isn't much more than 1. And their definitions of truth are almost identical when it comes to capitalism anyway.
