Perception != reality

Functional democracy needs those things:

  • Opposition
  • Free media
  • Open voting
  • Free and fair electricions
  • Same law for everyone
  • Civil liberties

As far as I'm aware, China doesn't have any of those things.

Burden of proof is on your side. Prove that China is a democracy and western countries are dictatorships

Because it's not a democracy

If China is a democracy, what opposition parties and media not related to government are in there?

There's only one party in China, every communication channel is controlled by party (not even the government).

China consistently ranks near the bottom in every democracy index

That wouldn't be even needed. Just add back macos features to iOS and iPadOS

But US vs. Iran war isn't total war for the US, like Ukraine vs. Russia is for Russia.

Only 8 US soldiers died, compared to likely hundreds of Iranians and most of exposed Iranian infrastructure. US didn't even deploy a single aircraft carrier.

No. Even WW3: Iran vs. Rest Of The World scenario is more likely
