The thing about China is that every negative misdeed they are accused of is either a) a gross misrepresentation of the situation (like with the Uyghers) or b) something the US does just as much of and just as bad.
Russia stuff was even worse, they get accused of stuff that everyone knows we do just as much of (like foreign election interference).
It is all pretty obviously a ploy to get people's attention focused on a common "enemy" so they wont look too closely at what else is going on.
I mean, that is a hyperbolic statement on your part right? You can't actually believe I would have a hard time naming at least one place more fucked up on earth than China. More nations are worse than China than are better than it, try booking a "nice" hotel in Somalia and tell me all about how wonderful your trip was.
That said, the US clearly has a better standard of living than China. My point wasn't that China was better than the US, it was that most of the stuff China gets ragged on for we could also get ragged on for. China doesn't get lambasted for having poverty or pollution (well not any more than every other country with poverty and pollution issues - like India) but for "human rights violations". That and they are not the enemy our propaganda makes them out to be.
