China is the fourth largest arms supplier in the world. Stop pretending they don't have plenty of blood on their hands. The US is way worse by a long shot but that doesn't suddenly make China an angel.

The whole point of the CCP was to be "Anti-fascists". Considering they are pumping out more billionaires than the US this year it looks like that was always a convenient lie. They were just another power grabbing faction that cost their citizens millions of lives for their lust of power.

To think that the great famine could have been a avoided if the supposed fascists had won and modernized China much quicker is a devastating reality especially when they ended up as fascists anyways.

Fuck the US, but also fuck China. They are both locked together fascists brothers playing enemies while they sleep in each other's bed.

I at no point claimed the PRC were angels. The entire point was that One-Party States do not inherently kill more people or are more repressive. I don't necessarily like Deng Xiaoping theory and the current socialist system in China, but to claim that it's on the same level of or worse than the United States is absurd. I also have no idea why you think the KMT would lead China better than the CPC.

Btw the KMT also ran a one-party state at the time before, during, and for decades after the Chinese Civil War.

I made no such claim. I was very clear about the US, it is an absolute death machine.

I don't need to defend any nation and the awful shit they have done. I just point out that the majority of it is a web of lies. This is because of the ridiculous amounts of propaganda.

Fascists all around with China the brand new version. Money talks and that is all governments will listen to. I would hardly celebrate this outcome.
