Is the US still a country?
Or is it a collection of factions, each of which tries to solve its personal problems, and approaches institutions of power in a purely utilitarian and opportunistic way, biting away at each other as rabid dogs?
I wouldn't say it really matters whether you compare someone's actions to CCP or not. The CCP are running a pretty successful country whose influence and global reach are growing with every year. Most obviously, US going the "CCP-way" won't at all yield the same results for the US. It's just starting to resemble more of a nation-wide gang war than a highly-functioning authoritarian state.
At the end of the day it's not really about who committed fraud, who didn't, who got caught, or who got away. But more about the divisions within the society itself, on whom to trust and whom to hate. Regardless of what kind of regime or party system, or socio-economic system you build, if the society is in complete disarray, no model will work.
And it's evident that everyone, and at the very least the majority of the American information space, are primarily interested in trading punches in the gang war, and not even the slightest in wanting to protect the pillars of society that keep any country afloat. If the political/judicial elite is primarily concerned with fighting rather than governing, the country's media is primarily concerned with fighting, and the people are mainly concerned with fighting, then statehood as the social construct that keeps a country together has already taken a backseat in the minds of the majority.
