Used to be that China was on par in that regard say… 10? 15 years ago? I remember seeing a comparison, it was more neck at neck, but I think they reduced it and the US massively increased it, so it’s high but not US high.
Similarly something about military spending; same US ballooning in the past few decades.
I used to joke that reagen spent the ussr to death (I’ve learned a titch more about that era of history since then, as i really didn’t remember politics beyond SNL at that age) and now I’m feeling the same squeeze from China.
Biggest difference is that the rate in the US can be independently verified, whereas in China we only have “official releases” to go on.
Other estimates put China at 250 on the high end - which is still pretty low compared to the US.
Satellite imagery of the Uyghur region estimate that that specific area has an incarceration rate of ~2200 / 100000 however that data comes directly from the other side so take it as you may. Here’s that other source: Link

China is a dictatorship of the proletariat, incarceration rates need to be understood by the class in control of the state.
lmao you people are the worst hypocrites ever , no matter what the west does you’ll just turn around and say WHATABOUT CHINA !!
What? I think it goes along OP’s point and is a nice reference to add.
Or what’s the problem? I mean China is doing good on the graph in comparison to USA. Very good.
Everyone - except you, US -, please give yourself a tap on the shoulder.

No, China never had large incarceration rate compared to the us.

What is your point? that China is more free than known fascist state Portugal and the UK?
Damn, this changes my emigration plans…
“in founding nato countries”

Neat to see where China sits in this list, despite not being in Nato.
Kinda has an interesting perspective.
cope gringo
翻腾屎
China is not a founding NATO country
Doesn’t stop them from incarcerating like one.
who wants to be part of the pathetic group of fascist losers? well, besides you, of course
China isn’t in NATO
