    The US has plenty of political prisoners

    Yes.

    Again, it’s not clear to me what basis there to suggest that USSR or China ratio being higher.

    I don’t know if it’s higher I just think it’s not zero.

      But the people above you didn’t suggest zero, they suggested the officially reported numbers. Earlier it sounded like you were going to make an argument as to why Chinese numbers are more likely to be under-reported than USA numbers.
