China has re-education camps, while the US is literally ravaging nations with their military. I'm not making a "tu quoque" argument, because that would imply that the two nations are on the same level.
How many countries had the US invaded and is still occupying? How many were threatened into extreme exploitation? How many people are in the ICE run concentration camps?
The two countries don’t even remotely compare.
The people you’re asking couldn’t begin to answer these questions. They don’t know the uncontested grisly facts of the US empire because they’re not talked about on any of their favorite TV shows.
Anyone who’s interested, here’s a short book on one small facet of that history: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1583679065
What "coercion"? China employs internet commentators to influence online opinion[1] - whereas the US does not (as far as anyone can tell).
> Hong Kong has been a part of China for centuries.
You're misdirecting. China signed the Sino-British Joint Declaration[2], which stated that "Hong Kong's existing capitalist system and way of life would be unchanged for 50 years until 2047"...which China is now blatantly violating, making this an effective invasion - or some form of hostile action - take your pick of words.
> How many countries had the US invaded and is still occupying? How many were threatened into extreme exploitation?
In self-defense. China has no excuse for invading HK, which poses absolutely no threat to them.
> How many people are in the ICE run concentration camps?
Not remotely comparable. ICE detains illegal immigrants for breaking a rather reasonable law - "you don't enter our borders without permission" - and then returns them to their country. China detains existing citizens for thoughtcrime, speaking out against the state, or merely being Uyghur - none of which are reasonable.
> The two countries don’t even remotely compare.
Yes - every shred of evidence paints China as being incomparably worse.

There are many examples of the US working to influence the internal politics of other countries through media, for instance Radio Free Asia or the National Endowment for Democracy.

There is a thing called Radio Liberty / Radio Free Europe since 1949. It still exists.
