No, it is not its shady history, is its present. The US still has policies against African Americans. It still has Guatanamo Bay. It is bombing innocent civilians in the middle east. It is still detaining children for the crime of crossing its borders and expelling people who came to ask for legal Asylum. It is still persecuting whistle blowers. It still has a world wide program of wiretapping. It is pure hypocrisy to talk about China as a human rights abuser when the list of US abuses is this long.
China is operating prison camps for somewhere between 1 and 3 million of its own citizens. Guantanamo Bay at it's height housed 143 people. The US treats whistleblowers harshly, China disappears people without so much as a legal case against them.
My goodness does anyone have a sense of proportion of the scale criminally here?
Only once it was clear he was out the door.
* Occupied Afghanistan for 20 years, and its last act there was to drone strike an aid worker and his family.
* Invaded Iraq based on false claims of WMD, leading to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people.
* Helped overthrow the government of Libya, plunging the country into a decade of chaos.
I'm not going to defend China's actions (though I would push back against some of the absurd exaggerations that are often made), but some perspective is needed here.
You aren't providing "prospective" by desperately trying to shift the focus away from China onto the US, you are running interference for them.
Oh, and Libya was a NATO operation in which the US largely took a back seat to the French, British, and Canadian Air Forces.

If you are going to propagandize, you might as well be accurate.
