Based on the most up to date information I could find, infant mortality in China is 5.47 per 1000 compared to 5.44 in the US. Comparing the countries by wealth per capita, I don’t see how you could possibly think this is a dunk, though obviously Cuba is much better than both.
I should mention that the distortion in US data is true, but the vast majority of infant deaths take place in the weeks after birth, so it’s a much smaller distortion than it appears on paper. I have not yet found what China’s window is.
I found 8.397/1000 and I’m sure that doesn’t include uyghurs and any poor people the party doesn’t decide to count. My country(not the US) is less than 4 so this isn’t a flex.

By the way, this study uses the US definition, so you can use that for comparisons:
