China bad. US bad. Russia bad.

All three can be true at the same time. (And they are)

Bold of you to assume I am American, did you not check the instance I am from ?

Yes, there are many lies about China, but don't get stuck in second opinion syndrome. China is both worse and better than you know.

The fact the government lies about China, while China is still bad behind the scenes, can both be true. During the cold war, both sides accused the other of being evil, and both were right.

Don't let anyone who puts a "communist" sticker on their own forehead fool you into supporting them.

This is just vague-posting unless you actually link some credible china-bad studies that aren't sourced from British or US state media.
