If you think China is any better than the US, then you've just switched flavors.

I would say that the country that has built 45,000km+ of high speed rail network, has a home ownership rate of 90%+, and has virtually eradicated extreme poverty within it's borders is objectively better than the country with one of the highest per-capita prison populations in the world, and ~600k homeless people it can't take care of.
