Oh yes? Shall we trust the US government in a good investigation on their motives to finance the bloody disaster that is the civil war in Syria? How about we send a Chinese delegation to check the documents inside the Pentagon or the CIA?
Every 4-8 years the US government gets a new executive head, often from the opposition. That puts significant constraints on what kind of corruption can flourish.
Regardless of your view point, there is still has freedom of speech, mostly free information and elections that matters so if the people dislike the policy they can change it.
Not saying it’s all golden, but these are very meaningful differences.
>Regardless of your view point, there is still has freedom of speech
Freedom of speech is irrelevant if speech doesn't have consequences to those in power. Even less so if there are plenty to tow the establishment's lines anyway...
>and elections that matters so if the people dislike the policy they can change it
LOL, yeah, they can vote between one or the other corporatist neoliberal party, complicit in everything except a few token issues they use to lure their faithful. Such choice...
Which freedom of speech? That they don't send you to prison if you say something your neoliberal high priesthood does not like? Perhaps not, but you very well might lose your job. Otherwise go search in your free speech media anything about Assange. Now try to compare objectively Assange to Navalny and tell me why not.. Your freedom of speech is in a large part imaginary. As to the rule of law, if your legal system would get the attention it deserves, people would see that it is also in a large part a Hollywood myth
If you vote for the right people, and advocate enough, you can get a congressional inquiry into the issue, a change in the law, or a precedent-setting court ruling. Point me to analogous outcomes under the Chinese system.
