The fact that this comment is moderated insightful is quite indicative of the ridiculous anti-China bias present in all Western countries and promulgated by all Western media. Perhaps it's because we are out-competing you in the global economy, perhaps it is some fear of "communism", perhaps it is straight up racism.
It's really easy to seem insightful when in reality you're spewing garbage if you're surrounded by people who agree with you.
I can tell you with certainty after living in both China and the USA that the denizens of neither country care about China's "human rights". "Human rights" is simply a sort of straw man for the Americans to beat on, the real objection the Americans have is that they don't like the trade deficit and would rather see China impoverished, Chinese competitors erased, and manufacturing and tech jobs back in America. People in China don't care about freedoms if the government can guarantee their economic well being, on which progress isn't uniform but is there. Real complaints about the government from within China always result when someone is getting cheated out of money or property, perhaps due to government red tape or corruption.
