North Korea); look at how the USA treats their neighbours such as Cuba! China doesn't go around instigating war and creating instability in the middle-east, and supporting Israel which leads to displaced peoples, economic and social stagnation, and of course the rise of extremist groups to replace the dispelled regimes.
The USA has just as many human rights abuses. The UN has found that their prisons routinely breach the Convention on torture (and specifically holding people in solitary confinement), and they're still the only developed country in the world not committed to providing equal access to healthcare; which is a key principle under the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights (Articles 21.2, 25).
No, the USA does not have just as many human rights abuses. I'm sure you'd like to think so given your anti-US rhetoric. Yes, there are human rights abuses by the US. I'm not going to deny that. There's not nearly as many as there are by China. Do you have a fucking clue what goes on in China? Or the US for that matter?
There is no freedom of expression in China. They still imprison people who speak about politically sensitive subjects including domestic violence. The internet is censored. Torture goes on in their prisons too, but I'm sure you'll ignore that because it's inconvenient for you. They still have forced-abortions, so women's reproductive rights are practically non-existent. Lesbians and Gays still don't have the right to get married.
You wanna talk Death Penalty? China has more executions than every other country combined. People with disabilities face heavy discrimination. So no, the US does not have just as many human rights violations. No, we don't offer universal healthcare yet. And yes, we've tortured detainees. We still have solitary confinement. But we're still not fucking China. So get the fuck out of here with that.
