It doesn't matter if it's Russia, China or the USA. None of them can talk when it comes to human rights, all 3 abuse them.

USA- Guantanamo Bay, Patriot Act, indefinite detention of civilians under Obama.
China- no human rights at all!, government does what it likes with it's people!
Russia- Chechnya, Putin's treatment of all opposition (eg pussy riot)

Before any of them can say shit on huamn rights, they should sort out their problems first. Talk about contradicting themselves! Especially Russia


That's what everyone believes about China in America, it seems.  However, that's not true.  

How is it in China with human rights then? do tell!

I don't think you even know what human rights are if that's your response to my statement.

Human rights is just freedom of speech, association, the right to buy anything. the right to vote, the right to protest and stuff like that. (i don't think minimum wage is a human right is it?)

Government acts like SOPA and indefinite detention without trial, use of torture to get information out of people, police brutality in peaceful protests are many ways that go against.

China's use of force against it's own people just to move them from their homes and build the Olympic stadium in Beijing is a way that China abused human rights, while the blocking of sites like facebook and twitter is just another. 


That's not exactly what human rights are.  Human rights are those rights that are believed every human should have.  One such right is the right to life.  People in China have that right.  To say you have no human rights in China is incorrect, and many people who have been there will agree with me.  Human rights are an issue in China, yes.  Just like they're an issue in Russia, and the USA.

edit: It may be more of a prevalent issue in China, yes.
