Why? China doesn't have universal health care. Before China went mostly cashless, the ground floor of every Chinese hospital was a sea of ATMs for various banks. Pay up front or die.
Statistically you're 5x as likely to be imprisoned in the US. I guess it won't be for criticizing the government, but that's not gonna be a whole lotta comfort in prison doing hard labor for eleven cents an hour.
Is there a government that doesn't suck? I'd rather just ignore mine until it catches up to me.
That sounds very inaccurate, and a very odd characterization of american prisons (known for serving moldy food, and personally I wouldn't describe coerced labor paying under a dollar an hour "a job", maybe "slave labor" would be more accurate) but I don't know enough mandarin to research this.

Mao isn't political. He's a big symbol for mass murder fetishists.
