It’s downright pavlovian how liberals have been trained to recite this mantra, word for word, when the West’s self assigned moral superiority is questioned.
During my lifetime the US has invaded/bombed and killed thousands [directly or indirectly] in:
Afghanistan
Iraq
Syria
Libya
Sudan
Pakistan
The US has also facilitated a genocide in Palestine through weapon shipments, intelligence sharing, fleet placement and UN vetoes and is now preparing to invade Venezuela.
China has not invaded or bombed any country during my lifetime.
The funny thing about people saying “both countries can be bad” is that they will lose their minds if you tell them “both major parties in the US are bad”. Somehow they only accept “lesser-evilism” for themselves but not for others.
“During the cold war, the anticommunist ideological framework could transform any data about existing communist societies into hostile evidence. If the Soviets refused to negotiate a point, they were intransigent and belligerent; if they appeared willing to make concessions, this was but a skillful ploy to put us off our guard. By opposing arms limitations, they would have demonstrated their aggressive intent; but when in fact they supported most armament treaties, it was because they were mendacious and manipulative. If the churches in the USSR were empty, this demonstrated that religion was suppressed; but if the churches were full, this meant the people were rejecting the regime’s atheistic ideology. If the workers went on strike (as happened on infrequent occasions), this was evidence of their alienation from the collectivist system; if they didn’t go on strike, this was because they were intimidated and lacked freedom. A scarcity of consumer goods demonstrated the failure of the economic system; an improvement in consumer supplies meant only that the leaders were attempting to placate a restive population and so maintain a firmer hold over them.
If communists in the United States played an important role struggling for the rights of workers, the poor, African-Americans, women, and others, this was only their guileful way of gathering support among disfranchised groups and gaining power for themselves. How one gained power by fighting for the rights of powerless groups was never explained. What we are dealing with is a nonfalsifiable orthodoxy, so assiduously marketed by the ruling interests that it affected people across the entire political spectrum.”

But which one is a lesser evil?

Kinda hard to compare when china is so good at controlling what information comes out
