Human rights are not some global constant, but something that evolves from culture & economics. China has experienced unprecedented growth in the past 30 years, never before seen in history. Hopefully its concepts of human rights will evolve with time, but to judge it now by the same measure we do for the West is unrealistic and impractical
It's also worth remembering that the West summoned its human rights by guillotining people until they finally appeared. It took a lot of blood to get there. Let's hope China can achieve it without so much bloodshed.
