I don’t understand the point they’re making with the comparison here (I do agree with the post’s sentiment).
340,000,000 * 20% = 68,000,000
1,400,000,000 * 16% = 224,000,000
So China still has way more imprisoned by a factor of 4 even though the post is trying to paint America as worse with this stat. Could someone maybe shed some light on what I’m missing here?

Ignore the downvotes. Some people think that admitting confusion or ignorance is a sign of weakness, and therefore a thing to be despised.

To be fair unless the message is edited to clarify the misunderstanding then it's just promoting the misunderstanding at the top level and the correct thing to do is to drive it further down because it's wrong.
A clarifying edit would be helpful and people would react accordingly
