We (the US) imprison people indefinitely for not turning over encryption keys and passwords.
We search and copy laptops and phones at borders, with no kind of court order.

I can forgive the Chinese for killing or imprisoning US spies. I'm sure we do the same thing or worse. As far as I'm concerned, the US has lost any moral high ground when it comes to imprisonment.
