I'm not American, but yes, the USA is rapidly becoming much like China.

You wish. Universal health care, infrastructure, social services, social security, competition in businesses, privacy laws like the GDPR are all part of life in China. Unfortunately the US has none of these. The US government is run by oligarchs and lobbyist. Which citizens of any other so-called first world country, rely on GoFundMe for health care or basic needs? As a German colleague once said, the US is the nicest third world country he's ever visited.
