The US is actively militarily aiding Israel in its genocide of Palestinians. So yes, there is a basis to decide which country is better on the basis of "who treats Muslims better," and it is China, because China isn't genociding them.
Imperialism. All the countries you listed are NATO members.
I don't disagree that the US is blood soaked. It's sickening to think many people work so hard every day to support their healthcare-less lives only for their taxes to go towards the interest of the debt the government builds killing children.
This however, has nothing to do with Chinese socialism vs US capitalism.
China and the US are practically dependent on each other economically. China is the one that allows some if the worst working conditions of any super power on earth. All in the name of "the greater good." People throwing themselves from the roof just to escape it. Hope much microplastic is generated from China's manufacturing plants? Doesn't China lead the planet in pollution?
China is the world’s biggest emitter of carbon gases** – and by some considerable distance: the country is responsible for 90 per cent of the growth in CO2 emissions since 2015. Today, its share of total emissions is [32 per cent], far ahead of the US (13 per cent), India (8 per cent) and the EU at 6 per cent.

Lastly, don't misunderstand. I'm sure the US is better than China in things like pollution, while China commits less global genocide (if any).
The reason I don't think it's a talking point isn't to diminish those facts. It's because my argument is still: both systems suck!!!! We the people of earth deserve better than what either of these governments have been producing. And those changes can happen now if we all work together. Chinese people and Americans, hand in hand to overthrow these bullshit con artists.
Yeah, because it’s the second-largest population in the world and it’s producing & exporting the world’s products. You don’t get to de-industrialize, import your products, and then chastise your producers for using more energy than you, when they’re using that energy for you.
China is also the largest green energy user and producer of green energy technology, which it also exports.

Why are you still spouting off tired, old bullshit that we’ve already investigated and found wanting? Why don’t you just stop now, and investigate before you speak?
"I'm sure about [thing that is wrong]"
