Democracy is always superior to authoritarianism, long term. Regulated capitalism is always superior to state owned and directed business.
On the other hand you have Great Chinese Famine, Tiananmen Square massacre and more recently Uyghurs concentration camps and most likely genocide and that's only China.
You mean the Last Chinese Famine? The famine that took place in a country with a multimillennial history of devastating rice famines? The famine that was less bad than other, contemporaneous famines in capitalist countries? The famine that marked the last instance of food insecurity for about half a billion people?
What might have caused that?
Guess we'll never know.
The 'Tiananmen Square massacre' is a psyop and not a single government claims it's what actually happened.
And haven't you got the last update? We're not doing Uyghurs any more, just ask your state-controlled media:
The deradicalisation program was a success and has now finished, and all these guys:
Are now plumbers or electricians (or doing lucrative speaking tours through US """"intelligence"""" circles)
Shame about all those horrible crimes that were comitted by the Chinese government though:
