My (possibly wrong) assumption is that the primary purpose of this release is to target Chinese people, not to get the rest of the world thinking "holy shit, America sucks". And so they don't really need the high ground for this to work, they just need to be able to control local propaganda and press.. That said, just because they don't have the moral high ground, it doesn't mean the points they raise aren't perfectly valid (n.b. I haven't actually read their release yet, so I'm not going the opposite direction and saying believe everything they said).
