Adding green energy at 8x the rate of the USA with a total of 3.89 terawatts, which is 3x larger than the entire USA energy grid, and accounting over 30% of the worlds spending towards green energy while the USA has less than 25% of the grid as green energy
Essentially ending homelessness
A notably lower prison population than the USA despite like 6x the population
A minimum wage set by provinces who are heavily encouraged to give increases every few years tied to inflation and cost of living
Actually working to shift a fee for service healthcare system to a socialized model with significant progress occurring
No airstrikes, bombings of another country, or declared wars since 1979. Even in terms of proxy wars post 1979 has been far more about economic support and diplomacy than shipping weapons
Etc etc but yes Xi and Trump are equivalent because they have a social credit score and government surveillance. That’s definitely not like the America, who has just normal credit scores, palantir, and a large chunk of your tax money funding proxy wars (and now actual war) instead of maintaining critical infrastructure or any quality of life improvements for its people.
China has no social credit score like the western media have you believe. The US has indeed a social credit score, designed to keep the majority of the population poor.
It doesn’t, but it has an unapologetic mass surveillance. In China, you use apps on your phone for absolutely everything and anything: all payments, use of public transport, shared bikes, ordering food, etc.
If you say something wrong, or if you’re just in a group chat where someone repeatedly say the wrong thing, your account can be suspended and suddenly you can’t do shit for several days. That keeps people in line, or they find other tricks to communicate, like swapping key words to trick the algorithms, or use VPN, though it’s also forbidden.

Both suck but in different ways, meaning that there are lots of ways in which China is better than the USA and lots of ways in which the USA is better than China.
Politics is multifaceted, “better” depends on many things and is not a very good general descriptor.
I still don’t really trust China, it’s more reliable than the US regime (minus Democratic areas) rn, but still, that’s a low bar.
I’m sure they will carry on the world hegemon tradition of being generally contemptible.
Xi is no better than Trump.

Xi is more competent than Trump. But just as evil.
On what basis exactly are you making such a wild claim?
