I find it hard to empathize with your views that American political life is healthy and democratic, and China is corrupt and stagnant.
American imprisons 10 times as many of its citizens than PRC. Most of these people are imprisoned for ideological crimes ("Protestant norms say that you should not intoxicate yourself") or political crimes ("our system holds that no one is entitled to the necessities of human life").
You think the purpose of civics education is to teach young people to trust American big tech and the American government above foreigners regardless of evidence??
Why is this specific thing worse than a similar way of describing the US system?
