Just because the anglosphere is a socioeconomic nightmare realm of genocide, immiseration and omnipresent propaganda where everyone is at each other’s throats doesn’t mean everywhere else is too.
What you’re saying is you want to be suspicious of data that paints other places in a better light than us, because it makes you feel bad. You then rationalize this desire as “wisdom” while continuing to apply it selectively against societies your government has told you to hate.
Oh, I assure you, I have no red tinted glasses for my home. We are run by a decaying orange pedophile and his fascist sycophants.

China is a state capitalist society that has the very same problem the US does. Overproduction of a group of “elites (parasites)” that need more and more power and wealth so they can get more power and more wealth.
Chinas actions towards the HK protestors and towards Taiwan indicates they are imperialist, which is a non starter for me already.
