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.

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