The combination of those two things make it sound very suspicious ...

Also, China’s incarceration rates don’t count people who have been welded into their apartments under the zero-COVID policy.

  > Also, China’s incarceration rates don’t count people who have been welded into their apartments under the zero-COVID policy Do you know any Country that counts that? For example, does the US count the penal labor as labor camps? Potato potato.

US has also many more strip clubs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_trafficking_in_the_United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_trafficking_in_the_United_... The United States ranks as one of the worst countries in the world for human trafficking Despite a common and widespread misconception, human trafficking is not just a problem outside the US. It also happens here, within United States borders, and in every state. https://deliverfund.org/the-human-trafficking-problem-in-america/where-does-human-trafficking-happen/ https://deliverfund.org/the-human-trafficking-problem-in-ame... Listen, let's have an honest discussion here. What China does better than USA? Less people incarcerated is good, how the prisoners are treated is another issue entirely and of course China can and should be heavily criticized for that. But penal labor for literally cents/day or private prisons as a source of profit or the death penalty are something that the US, above all, should be able to improve on, before lecturing other countries over human rights. Let's talk about “Guantanamo Bay is a site of unparalleled notoriety, defined by the systematic use of torture, and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment against hundreds of men brought to the site and deprived of their most fundamental rights.” This is a statement from "The Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights of the United Nations". What have the consequences been? Nothing. Literally nothing has changed! People have been detained there for years, most of them without any charges, denied of the right to a due process, only because they were Muslims. 39 of those men are still kept captive there as of today, 20 years later, 27 of them have never been charged with any crime, the others have been cleared for transfer years ago, but are still there. Imagine if China did something like that what the US would be saying about it. That's the moral short circuit: if it's wrong it must be wrong for everybody, especially for those claiming to hold in high regards human rights, not only if China or Russia do it.
