This discussion is entertaining, but it probably belongs to its own thread (just like Discussion on Purism). @deeplow do you agree?

@JTeller3

I honestly struggled to tell whether you were describing China or the United States in your replies above due to their mutual culpability in such behavior; and I consider neither to be transparent, democratic, governed by the rule of law, or limiting toward their own power.

You are of course entitled to your opinion, but consider some official democracy rankings and the like designed by scientists, which clearly show the difference between China and USA and explain it.
