The US is largely talk, vs. the substantial action China takes and has taken against territories it considers its own.
The US importantly has a robust and independent judiciary where a fair trial is infinitely more likely than in China. Even for foreigners, the US legal system is accessible, understandable, and weildable for protection. It’s far from perfect, but 100x what you’d get in China.
Was Iraq also talk when US invaded it in violation of international law? Not to mention overthrowing democratically elected governments in South America.
Which countries did China invade in the last 3 decades?
I would like to highlight the small bit of positive in the American system. I don't support the removal of abortion law, nor do I like mixing religion with politics. But, due to the system that exists in the USA, even though the government removed the right to abortion, the individual states can still support it and form their own laws around it. However, a similar situation in other countries would result in complete removal without any option.
