    When I last checked it, western countries were democracies and china was a totalitarian regime. Did anything change in the last 5 minutes?

        Burden of proof is on your side. Prove that China is a democracy and western countries are dictatorships

          For one, no, that’s not how burden of proof works: you were the one who made the claim first. I wish you Reddit losers would actually learn what these phrases mean rather than treating them like magical incantations for winning debates.

          Secondly, you’ve already been presented with ample proof that you just ignored.
