      So no source?

      Facts(UN investigations, photo and video evidence, I can provide sources on request) show that the US has committed far worse rights abuses than china(sexual assault at Abu Ghraib, extreme torture at both and murder and Guantanamo and numerous black-sites, extraordinary rendition etc)

      This proves my point about US cultural dominance distorting objective reality: despite facts showing the US committing far more severe human rights abuses you still believe China has committed worse because that is what media you consume portrays

        Did I ever say the US government didn’t commit human rights violations? Don’t put words in my mouth.

        Also, China has had organ harvesting concentration camps for a while now. They also allow working conditions that are so shitty factories have to install anti-suicide nets.

        China is by no means the good guy just because the US is a bad guy.

      China is pretty bad, but I feel the US never gets called out for this, so he has a good point.

        Unfortunately I don’t think that person would ever be open to revaluating their preconceived worldview when presented with new facts, and are comforted by believing the ra-ra americana fairytale sold by Hollywood etc even if objective reality shows it to be false, I actually think they illustrates my point about cultural dominance from my first comment quite well

          You’re wrong. The USA is a shit hole country rife with human rights violations.

          But China is absolutely worse.
