Why do you say that?

By any objective measure the US's record on human rights far exceeds that of China. Has the US violated human rights? Sure. Does it try and remedy those situations? Yes.

China has zero qualms about putting people under house arrest for voicing opinions contrary to the Party. It doesn't come back and say "that was an injustice" it says "this is the right thing to do for China". Add on top of that forced abortions, mock trials, etc. The two countries aren't even comparable.
