My point is that the US media constantly feeds Americans that they are the best country in the world and Germany is doing the same.

No that doesn't happen in Germany. After 45' we don't do that anymore. In Germany it is not political correct to say something like "I'm proud of Germany".

Furthermore, I know plenty of Germans who when moving to the US they don't buy a diesel car, buy or rent a larger house and fill it with more goods.

Again, I don't think that much on the individual level.
Those people who move to the US obivously see US culture as benefitial.

Surely you think that China, just like America, needs to clean up their act and be more like a European right?

I think that it would be in China's benifit to clean up their enviroment but I don't think that China has the same duty of reducing their CO2 emisions that America (or other western countries) have.

And that point is not that the US is better but just different.

I haven't claimed that Germany or for that many any other nation is fundamently better than America but that America should change it stance on the enviroment and foreign aid (I also think that many European nations should give more foreign aid).
