While western media in recent years is perpetually at odds with China\'s human rights, it is clear to me is that it is not about human rights, because: First, anyone who pays close attention to China would be lying if he/she denies that human rights have not tremendously improved there since China marched onto the road of capitalism three decades ago. Second, China\'s human rights in reality is much better than its neighboring democratic countries, such as India, Philippine and Indonesia, measured in terms of life expectancy, literacy rate, economic development rate, based on CIA website. Its people are free and each year about 40 millions Chinese people travel abroad. China has more internet users and cell phone users than the U.S.

A so-called world leader in executions, by you, if divided by 1.3 billion people, it would be much less per capita. Even though those executed are the criminals, that number is still far less than the number of Iraqi civilians killed each year due to an American invasion, if you would like to label as libration. Having said that, please don’t forget the United States has the highest documented incarceration rate and total documented prison population in the world, even though its population is only one quarter of the Chinese population.

When China was weak in 1900\'s, British troops invaded China, for a sole purpose of forcibly selling opium and harming its civilians. Today, China is becoming a little healthier then before, we began to hear the complaint of its human rights. Is this logical and fair?

Does it fit into Repeat a lie a thousand times and it becomes the truth?
