Here I thought the punchline was going to be a dead body he had to deal with.

So why aren't you more bothered by the worse actor that's been the hegomonic superpower for the past 80ish years?

I think lifting that many people out of extreme poverty in that short of time is admirable, and speaks to how recent the rise has been. The fact you're saying "but they don't have as good of worker amenities like paid time off of Europe that wasn't at nearly such a disadvantage" is a wild standard.

Even in your one cherry picked metric it's still beating the US. Incredible.

You forgot, you have to ignore all the good things China does, highlight all the bad (especially if it's western fear mongering bullshit), and when you highlight how contextually the US is almost always worse for X reason, remember to "oppose both" when you seem to have way more smoke for the other. This is because "tankies bad" and don't think about it harder obviously. /s
