China

China is still an example. Human rights is also a matter of perspective. You have to realize from Chinas' perspective what they are doing is correct. The western media sort of paints a one sided story here. Although I totally agree that China is overall wrong in their actions here, there is still an alternative perspective that needs to be considered if you want your opinion to be as unbiased as possible.
Consider this. Did you know that Chinas actions towards the Uyghurs were caused by domestic terror attacks? The US reaction of going into an all out 2 decade long war for a terrorist attack is not far off from Chinas reaction. China is definitely wrong to make re-education camps, though I will argue much more people were slaughtered as a result of armed conflict from the US reaction then the amount of people who died as the result of being placed in re-education camps.
Not justifying anything for China here. I disagree with them. But if you didn't know about what I told you above then it likely means your information source(s) is/are biased.
All in all, I still believe China is an example of a totalitarian government ruled by an imperfect person, but he is definitely not a psychopath.
Singapore is another example of a more totalitarian government. Less biased media coverage on them though because they're not really an economic rival to the united states.
Now I want to caveat what I wrote here with some perspective. Don't take sides. Don't have extreme opinions on anything. Politics is complicated and you should view the world through the lens of complexity rather then through a lens of they're right or they're wrong.
