Some people like to think of/portray China as being uniquely nefarious on matters like this. It's reasonable to point out that occurrences that could be considered comparable are happening in Western countries too.
FWIW: I'm not expressing any opinion on whether events in China and France or elsewhere are comparable or not, or whether one is substantially worse. But I do appreciate having these things pointed out so I can consider and research them myself.

If I'm on trial for murder the prosecutor would object to mentioning all the people who've been illegally killed by the state's army. Same thing here, China is accused of human rights violations, what other countries have done doesn't change whether or not that's true.
