Neither is the US, land of slaves, segregation, and the KKK. They did seem to get better there for a few of decades, but sure are working hard to return to their roots.

Isn't the US building mass detention camps right now for all the brown people there? And arresting / detaining / demanding papers from any and everyone? With federal agents killing civilians?

Don't get me wrong, China is also horrible here, they have their own camps.

But pretending the US is positive wrt human rights is a wild take in 2026.

With the number of wars that the US have waged over the years including in Vietnam, Iran and supporting Israel. I don’t think even the US has done a stellar job in defending human rights.

If you meant American citizen human rights, then you’re correct.

How about your pack up your arrogance and stop defining human rights for me and other 1.4 billion Chinese?

How positive for the human rights of the people of invaded countries was the US?

Ask around in Vietnam, Iraq, Syria and countless more countries around the world.
