You were very clearly making a false equivalence there, trying to say that China is just differently bad from the US. All the oppression exists in the minds of western liberals who guzzle propaganda uncritically. Meanwhile, censorship exists everywhere, it's absolutely hilarious that westerners think that they got the level of censorship right while everyone else got it wrong. It's a perfect example of people suffering from anchoring bias thinking the rules of a society they grew up in is the natural default.
