"Give me liberty, or give me death!" - Patrick Henry

Previously, I wrote the below essays:

• Skepticism about China remaining a global power

• Why I am not bullish on Russia's future

• The rising rule of communist idiocracy in China

• Vladimir Putin is a corrupt kleptocrat and an authoritarian

• What drives Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin?

• Do you strongly believe in gun rights? Don't move to Russia!

• Why a Westerner falling for Russian propaganda is like a man who is seduced by a corrupt 300 pound woman - Humor

These essays certainly give many good reasons why people would not flock to China and Russia and they also provide plenty of evidence that the countries are corrupt, authoritarian countries.

Chinese and Russian citizens are voting with their feet: Many Chinese and Russians are leaving their countries

Question: Are people leaving China and Russia?

Chinese emigration from China:

The flag of the United States

Previously, I wrote the essay at The United States will be the leading power in the world for the foreseeable future.

And an article Top 10 Reasons Why People Move to the US certainly gives some legitimate reasons why people are moving to the USA.

But I would give two more which I mention below:

• There is still a lot of religious liberty in the USA.

• When compared to many countries, there is still a lot of political freedom in the USA.

China and Russia and the issue of religious liberty

China has state atheism (See: China and atheism).

Russia has less religious liberty in the USA in various respects (See: Restrictions on religious activity and/or religious persecution in Czarist, Soviet, and contemporary Russia).

"When I was a boy, the priest, my uncle, carefully inculcated upon me this proverb, which I then learned and have ever since kept in my mind: 'Dico tibi verum, Libertas optima rerum; Nunquam servili, sub nexu vivito, fili.' 'I tell you a truth: Liberty is the best of things, my son; never live under any slavish bond." - William Wallace
