"that the US is not much better, at least in terms of raw numbers. We have over two million people in prison:" There cannot be any comparison of people who are in jail for crimes, and people who are in jail simply for being a part of an ethnic group.

FYI the Chinese 'regular' judicial system is effectively completely corrupt and entirely politicized.
