America also uses slave prison labour
And America has more incarcerated people than China, despite China having way more people.
No...just no. China's prison population is not counted correctly, just from their forced reeducation camps, its estimated they have 1-2 million people in them. The usa has around 1.2 million in prison. So no china does not have less prisoners. I don't know where this bullshit lie showed up but it's been repeated way to long.
Does the USA have a problem with incarcerating people for non-violent offenses, hell yes, but that's a whole different argument.
China is also much larger than US. Even with your fantasy numbers US has more prisoners per capita.
America is a authoritarian nation. You guys just killed a guy and several bystanders over a 2.9 dollar fare ffs.
Lol @ fantasy numbers...only a tankie would think that.
Yea we have problems, but acting like china is better is hilariously wrong.
