Yeah that’s the thing. USA and China are both bad, sometimes due to the same thing (imperialism, capitalism, cronies running things etc), sometimes for unique things. Saying one country is good doesn’t make the other bad in the same domain. And vice versa.
However it is extremely important and necessary to compare things. Like you have compared military spending between different countries. The USA’s manifest destiny CAN be compared to the Han supremacy in China especially in Tibet and Xinjiang. But of course there are marked differences.
