Valid question. I have no 100% factual answers and neither does anyone else here.

So I go with feeling, and that feeling says that China is worse. The feeling is partially supported by the fact that China is softly backing Russia in its attack against the west.

Trump's USA is obviously completely horrible, but he is also in large part a product of Russian influence, which again is part of the larger block in which China resides.

"The west" is a stupid idea America uses to force themselves and Israel into the same league as EU countries.

And China is not really supporting Russia, they make money off the war and want to keep it going as long as possible so both Russia and Ukraine become weak and more open to their influence. Is it evil? Absolutely, but you can't compare them to USA when Trump is actively doing regime change operations, deporting its own citizens and putting sanctions on the ICC.

Chinese communists want to stay in power at all costs but America wants to expand its power into the whole world. It's not the same level of danger at all.
