My argument is that not liking China does not imply liking the US.

No claims it does, so who are you arguing with?

Then this meme makes no sense.

I think you've missed the point entirely.

It's a way to highlight American exceptionalism that paints an orientalist picture of China passed through a very Western oriented lens and pretends it's the objective truth, while ignoring that they're entirely projecting the failures of their own system on China with absolutely no evidence

Hope this helps xoxo
