No, they are a capitalist country too. Don't try to doge that. The only difference between China and America is that we have a Constitution, and a history of court cases that are supposed to foster anti monopoly laws, though America failed when Reagan started deregulation and union busting. China uses their version of capitalism to reward party loyalists. I will laugh in your face if you try to dare claim China isn't a Capitalist country. They are authoritarian capitalists.
If anything, our American CEOs look at China's exploitation of labor and masturbate over the prospect of treating our workers like theirs.
So if you want to use the word "safety" in this bad argument, we have a GOP that guts funding to regulations that allow coal ash and chemicals to be dumped in our water supply, and allow Wells Fargo to screw over customers, with nothing more than a fine.
