I don't think the comparison is far-fetched. Of course, China was a already a full dictatorship back then, and the US isn't yet.

Based 18th Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte understander has logged on and recognized that the PRC is a dictatorship of the proletariat, but the US is a bonapartist special case due to its conjuncture where the state must take on the role of class-conflict-mediator rather than class-dictatorship-organ (this analysis is completely wrong)

Who would they even say was the dictator of China in 1989? Fucking Deng?

I told my brother that we live in a bourgeois dictatorship and he told me I was crazy. When a liberal calls something a dictatorship I have no idea what they mean.

Dictatorship = one dude with a hat or moustache tells everyone to do funny dances (see: North Korea)

Everyone doing funny dances because their refusal or inability to do so would cause them to starve in the streets? And the system of social relations that keeps this situation going is being propped up by violent force on behalf of a constellation of powerful people who own everything? Democracy.
