Fixed for you -
The Chinese judicial system, prisons and government obviously have many flaws, arguably getting worse, and has a difficult relationship with human rights. However, the Chinese government does not do things like operating Guantanamo Bay or cause civilian deaths using WMD as excuses. How many civilians got killed in Iraq as a direct consequence of US invasion? Their lives worth less than those human right activists?

- matthewmacleod 9y agoI find it baffling that there is an idea that China's records on human rights is comparable to that of the US. The US has human rights problems, and China's are objectively much worse.
- askvictor 9y agoPlease define what metric(s) you're using to make that statement. I'm not saying you're wrong, but a statement of objectivity requires something to substantiate it. Certainly, the US doesn't have nearly as many political dissidents incarcerated, but China doesn't have a systematic problem with summary executions of a racial group by police (for example; there are plenty more on both sides, which are not necessarily comparable; yes I know in this case that China has its own minority racial group issues). Then, are scale effects (population size) factored in your figures?
