Yeah, because the US is not "equally authoritarian", so the rest of the world shouldn't mind!

E.g. Chile where they helped establish Pinochet to power should feel secure. Italy where they collaborated with far right groups and deep state against democracy should also feel OK. And so on...

Nobody said it's ok.

So what did you imply with "Let's not pretend the US and China are equally authoritarian please", if not that it's, if not OK, then at least OK-er?

I didn't imply anything. I merely pointed out there not equivalent. That does not imply everything the US does is ok.
