When people speak of a country admonishing or lecturing another, they refer to their respective governments.
> how do US torture camps compare to Chinese torture camps?
Bringing the conversation there is super weird. A torture camp is not a normal thing for a civilized country to have.
The US government failed to dismantle it for 8 years when it had a democratic mandate to do that. Now, with a president elected after proclaiming torture a fine thing, when a western country tells a dictator to stop human rights abuse, they can just shut the conversation with "tell your American friend to stop it first".
- seanmcdirmid 10y agoYes they aren't. But as you clai. Guantanamo bay is one, well, china has plenty of examples of that. America has first world problems, china has third world problems, different scales completely. Anyways, this whataboutism-ing is idiotic. If you want to talk about the USA whenever we are talking about china fine, but why don't you start a separate article submission.
