This is what totally amazes me. Sure you are unlikely to get bullet in the head if you piss off US Government or one of their agencies. But many other options are open. Government can completely ruin your life if they want to, especially if you are not rich and well connected. Why instead of being concerned with what is wrong in your own backyard would you console yourself that it is worse in China. You just play to the politicians who want to take your attention away from their own fuck ups by feeding you stories about what is happening elsewhere. Personally I am way more concerned about totally fucked up things in my own country. For example things Civil Forfeiture laws (I am Canadian but when US sneezes we catch the cold). Or when Canada champions human rights by being about the only western democratic country in the world that allows indefinite detention of a person in max security prison without said person having committed or charged with any crime. Or our so called justice system in general when those who have money can have bail and decent defense while poor often lavish in detention and have to take plea deals. etc. etc.
