Do you think it's okay for us to bomb people because I can say on the internet that we shouldn't bomb people?

China doesn't call themselves "the leader of the free world" or "a shining city on a hill". Sure, freedom of speech is generally better in the US than China (but don't think that nobody ever gets put in jail for criticizing the government.) The fact remains that the US kills a lot of people.

I'm not Chinese. I can't affect Chinese policy at all. I focus on the US because my voice is supposed to matter here, allegedly.

No. I think America's violence is a problem.
