People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones... It is interesting how our mainstream media phrases these things, to make them a question. They frame debate to be 'normal' or 'silly'. For instance, they could also ask: Will China protect Tony Blair from International Justice? Will Mozambique protect George W Bush from International Justice? More generally the U.S. in its dealings with China always want to put our Chinese friends on the back foot by questioning their human rights record. Meanwhile, which country imprisons the most? USA. I would not be at all surprised if there were more people imprisoned inside the USA than there are people imprisoned in the rest of the world. Hence, when it comes to important matters of human rights it is difficult to take the U.S. government or media seriously.

I would, since it's common knowledge that the US has 22% of the world's prisoners. America has an incarceration-per-100k of about 700, while North Korea has an estimated 600-800, but we can't be sure because they're so secretive. HOWEVER, america's prisoners get medical care, food, and many protections. North Korea's prisoners are starved, beaten, raped, and worked to death in brutal camps that rival nazi germany for pure concentrated evil.
