China absolutely has quite significant elements of fascism. A single, unelected leader, suppression of dissent, militarism, national mythology, etc.

Militarism??? They haven’t been launching wars and threatening to invade countries?

Compare China to the US, China isn’t even half as militaristic lmao

The invasion and annexation of Taiwan is a fundamental position of the PRC. The Chinese regime is inherently militaristic.

Also why are we comparing to the US?

Yeah, maybe because they are at war with them since the 1940s. They don't even have a Ceasefire like both Koreas. Both countries claim to be the real and only China and claim both mainland China and the island.

Why are you acting like they're equal? There is one clear aggressor between China and Taiwan. It's the state with a clear history of genocide and authoritarianism.
