Definitely! Then again every time a "non western" or "non democratic" country begins doing well
either in their economy or other ways America and Britain are straight on their backs!
Its not hard to figure out why lol |

America uses "human rights" as a diplomatic stick to beat non-compliant countries over the head
with. Human rights violators are OK as long as they show appropriate submission to the great
superpower. Uzbekistan, for example, whose leader boils his opponents alive (according to the former
British ambassador) can be confident of receiving minimal criticism of his abysmal human rights
record because he cooperates in the War on Terra and is thus considered a good team player.
Countries like Russia and China, however, which show a degree of independence, even defiance, of
American will, can expected to have the whole human rights spiel deployed against them at every
opportunity.
And, yes, the irony of a country which openly practices torture, which has set up the greatest
international network of human rights-abusing sites since the Second World war, faulting others for
their less than stellar record is both amusing and grotesque. But Americans have always regarded law
as just another stick to hit people with, rather than something that actually applies to them. |

I think their lack of human rights is blitzed by the US's illegal war, killing hundred of thousands,
it's unfair trade laws ensuring poverty in Sub Saharan Africa continues, it's drilling for oil of
natural reserves....you get my picture. |

The US cannot even remotely be compared to China with human rights issues. Amnesty International
stated, "China is the #1 human rights violater in the world," and its true. China was the worlds
largest system of slave labor camps, nationwide forced abortions and sterilization, mental and
physical abuse toward political prisoners. China is the "biggest supplier of weapons of mass
destruction to rouge states"said the CIA, American Office of Naval Intelligence. Military occupation
and genocide in Tibet along with the brutal repression of all religions. Routine torture of Tibetan
monks and nuns, practitioners of Falon Gong, and any who turn to religion instead of the Chinese
Communist Regime. Look at Hu Jia an activist for China's environment and awareness for AIDS, was
arrested and sentenced to jail for three and half years for speaking out against his government.
"Patriotic Classes" are required for all especially political prisoners going against the
government, its nothing but an attempt to brainwash people into think communism is great. China has
to many problems to list and America largely to blame by continuing trade with them. |

We are not unfairly demonizing China.
There is a lot about China to demonize. |

The human race didn't stop evolving in the spring of 1945. We continue to evolve and things need to
happen in order for us to do so.
China needs to catch up. |

China has an appalling human rights record. Any form of protest in China is immediately stamped out.
Not only that but the economical rise of the yellow dragon has had a huge impact on the western
economical growth as a whole. The one country trying to balance this unequal rise, is India, and the
squalor, filth and poor employment working wage conditions in India are on a similar parr to vast
parts of China. Add to this China's high levels of pollution and C02 EMISSIONS, then China is at the
moment devastating our planet. |
