Human rights are objectively better in the US than in China. Not perfect here either by any means, but the indicators are clearly, objectively better. Which is what every major human development index says worldwide, not just those peddled by our country. The UN HDI ranked the US as #3 and China as #101. It's not even a contest.
I'm not really disputing that. I just thought it was interesting that the GP's comments didn't seem any less 'truthy' if you switched the roles of the US and China. Think of it as a fun exercise in examining unconscious bias, if you like!
