We really have no high ground here. Our prison industrial complex is much larger and we have way more incarcerated people per capita than china. The USA is 5% of the world’s population and we have 25% of the worldwide prison population. One in three black men will spend time in the United states prison system. We need to worry about the genocide being committed through mass incarceration and the police state here before we start judging china. Forced labor is alive and well in our country. You should watch the documentary 13th
although i get your point, the usa, for all its many problems and atrocities, isn’t specifically arresting people based on religion or ethnicity and hauling them into forced labor camps.
there are arguments that systemic racism, combined with forced labor in prisons, creates a situation in which there is de facto racial slavery (because statistically we know some black people will be wrongly arrested due to racism and forced to be slaves in prison), but despite this also being awful, it’s not the equivalent of an explicit policy rounding up a religious minority for work camps
Uyghurs are in forced labor camps. That seems like worse bullying.

Afaik people in usa are now too. Imperialists are the worst, no matter the color of the rag they are proud of.
