The US has never been and will never be a democracy, because it was born of a bourgeois revolution[1]. The wealthy, white, male, land-owning, largely slave-owning Founding Fathers constructed a bourgeois state with “checks and balances” against the “tyranny of the majority”. It was never meant to represent the majority—the working class—and it never has, despite eventually allowing women and non-whites (at least those not disenfranchised by the carceral system) to vote.[Princeton & Northwestern] Study: US is an oligarchy, not a democracy
China, in contrast, practices democratic centralism. And its no wonder that the Chinese people are very satisfied with their government, because their quality of life has been improving over the last few generations[2], while ours has been dropping over the last ~40 years of grinding neoliberalism.
Your understanding of China comes exclusively from the imperial core propaganda you & I have been exposed to our entire lives. You’ll never understand it in any other way unless you investigate outside of the bubble we live in.
Try to mention Tienanmen square anywhere
You can in fact mention Tienanmen square in China. The idea that you can’t comes to you from Western propaganda.
Are you happy Indonesia is becoming China’s pet?
I’m happy when any state chooses China as a partner over the imperial hegemon.

“Forward-defense ring,” a perfectly normal turn of phrase and not at all Orwellian Newspeak.
Dude at least the US used to be a democratic country. China is a repressive dictatorship. Try to mention Tienanmen square anywhere
