If we have to live in an authoritarian state where political enemies are punished, the rule of law is set aside, the courts are complicit with illegalities, and the legislature is a rubber stamp, could we at least live in an authoritarian state where the trains run on time.
China is phasing out fossil fuels, is building cheap electric cars, has banned crypto-currency, and does not have a homeless problem. It is giving aid to third world countries, has a strong military, a government-run space program, and a health system that does not mistrust vaccines.
I know that people are jailed there without legal safeguards, but that is true here also. At least in China things seem to work.
