Topic: China is bette than the USA in many ways.

1. Your average, everyday life is much freer. The government and police basically leave you alone unless you do something really bad or subversive.
2. Quality of life is really good in many cities.
3. Money goes far: with even a decent salary, you can live like a king.

Thanks.

When it comes to daily life, such as traffic laws, you are left alone. The police do not hound and harass you like they do in the USA.

Of course. The heavy-handed communist regime is actually much better than the democratic government, obviously.

You are simply believing myths. In the US, if you violate one little traffic law, cops will gang up on you, beat you, and almost murder you.

That is a lie. If you violate one little traffic law here, the police will foreclose your house to pay for the traffic ticket.

Go put it to the test. Play word association with 10 people using the phrase "Irish food". They'll either say potato, famine or potato famine.

Yes, because we all know that the police are just and fair, and never abuse their authority and power. Also, no innocent people are ever arrested or harassed.
