Actually this isn't true at all then. By your logic, China also have an extremely high standard for human rights. Just a cursory look at the Chinese constitution shows how much they value equality.
And surely, the rich and connected people in China have those rights. They are treated fairly by the system and society.
It's just those poorer people that are hurt, but hey, the framework for it still exists.
- seanmcdirmid 10y agoChina's constitution is all about equality, free speech, etc...but China's system is not based on constitutional law so they just ignore it. You know that. People all have the same standards enshrined in the political system, but it is a low bar, and everyone makes out in the economic system instead. It's basically what a libertarian society would look like if they kept the government to a minimum (sans the occasional persecution of a dissident).
