That's more than from a great song. In the US, we have a lot of freedom of speech. We can look at the US honestly and point out good and bad.
But that's only part of the story. More and more, there is a massive 'peanut gallery' feeding more than a billion people taking advantage of that.
So when Americans rightly discuss good and bad about the US, there are utterly corrupted propagandists who seize the 'bad' parts and repeat and amplify them.
And it creates a huge lie.
So the US is far better - not bigger, but better - than China by almost every measure. That doesn't mean China doesn't have all kinds of wonderful things the US doesn't. But overall the US is doing far better.
But China's government has a huge propaganda arm that paints a very different picture. Everything the Chinese government does is wonderful. They have ended all poverty, they have eliminated Covid, they have never attacked anyone, the lead the world in green energy, on and on - these are all real messages.
And the US is painted as a disastrous country wildly and recklessly launching murderous wars, with crime everywhere, poverty and homelessness all over - Covid was sent to China from the US, the US caused the war on Ukraine, on and on, and these are all real messages also. And spread throughout them are the honest 'confessions' of Americans who admit flaws about the US.
So the truths told as part of Americans' freedom to be honest are good and bad, are twisted in to huge lies by Chinese propagandists to paint a lie of China being better than US in pretty much every way. It's disconcerting to see the one-sided lies and realize they're the truth for over a billion people in China alone.
An especially 'cringe' approach the government has been taking is to release 'rap videos' with their propaganda. They initially banned rap as western, and then decided to try to use it to appeal to young Chinese people. Here's an example, about how the Hong protests for against China imposing a police state were violent US-backed riots of 'rubbish' people, starring trump who took china's side against Hong Kong, of course.

I'm not making this up. They have countless rap videos. One for their 5 year plans. Here's one about their opposition to the US deploying a missile defense system in South Korea named "THAAD". Watch the video the government put out.

Here's a special one about the 'real China' that works in a lot of propaganda, like explaining that the outside doesn't understand about Taiwan, they just want to be united.

Here's one more, promoting that Covid came from the US and is lying about it coming from China.

These don't include so much of Americans admitting things, but that's often used in these sorts of things.
