What Modi and Hindu nationalists are doing in India is despicable. Four fifths of the world’s starving people are currently in Gaza. The Rohingya ethnic cleansing is ongoing. The Horn of Africa is a hot mess. There’s a lot of evil in the world right now. I wouldn’t put China 4th worst.
That’s a fair point, they could be worse than they have been lately.

Nothing against the people of China and I don’t claim the US and the West has been perfect beacons of freedom and human rights but we try and sometimes we come close. China never comes close.

State run concentration/reeducation camps and almost complete lack of civil liberties sure seems fitting for the description ‘evil’.
