I'll just ask a simple question, if you are an American citizen which governments uniformed thugs have the ability to kidnap or kill you: the American or Chinese government? Which of these does not even need to send secret agents or beat your country in a war and has free legal permission to kidnap and kill you?
If you computed the results of this problem, the next question I ask is whom are you at more risk from?
