    I wouldnt want to take a neutral stance here, if the USA is a 53 then China is a 87 on the badometer.

      Here, opinions may vary, but that’s outside the scope.

      If you want my personal opinions, I would reverse the numbers. China is spreading authoritarian power and commits human rights violations primarily within its own confines and in some nearby regions like South China Sea, USA does it globally. Both are not great, though, and commonly I try to treat them with the same measuring stick.
