Give me 1 reason why the USA, the (for now) leader of "the west", is morally superior to China?

I’ve got one. The US doesn’t mow down its citizens with tanks for protesting, and then perpetually suppress all discussion of the incident.

(Yes, there have been situations that are similar in theme, but they paw in comparison to that incident.)

You felt the need to backpedal before hitting submit, so you're almost there.

China doesn't allow people to freely leave the country. How is that ok?
