China has some three million innocent civilians in slave-labor death camps, with shoot-to-kill orders for anyone caught trying to escape. The US has zero. The Chinese government employs several hundred thousand people full time to censor the Internet, and blocks tens of thousands of sites entirely. The US censors none. China has jailed thousands of people for doing no more than signing an online petition calling for government reform. The US has jailed none. China has arrested more journalists for reporting unfavorable news than any other nation in the world. The US has arrested none.
Still want to equate the two nations? Then read this:
"The consequences of [China's 'One Child' policy of] forced abortions, sterilizations, abandoned newborns, and government abductions are just being realized.
"One Child Nation," a documentary by Amazon Studios, hits theaters Friday, detailing the devastation felt by parents forced to abandon their children, in many cases knowing they would die, and women forced to have abortions or sterilizations "tied like pigs" to satisfy the Communist Party...
"Every woman has almost gone through a forced abortion or forced sterilization," Nanfu Wang, co-director and producer of the documentary, told PBS. "Sometimes the babies...they were born alive, and because of the policy and her job, she had to kill them after they were born alive, and she is really traumatized because of that."
Wang spoke to the midwife who delivered her, who admitted doing 50 to 60,000 abortions over her time to enact a policy that the government claims prevented 400 million births.
“I was the one who killed. I was the executioner,” the midwife said. “The state gave the orders, but I carried it out.”...
Clearly at least some of these are wrongdoings by China govern. I agree to this point. Wrongdoing is wrong regardless of country.
Though even some of these claims are exaggerated there are some truths in them for sure ( I could find them).
A little parenthesis - abortion matter is not a good example and debatable, especially when US Supreme court totally banned abortion (correction, not totally, thx to
Endymio for pointing it out). So u see, wrongdoings on both sides. Many people ask themselves why they are so extremists, on one side coerced abortion, on the other side coerced banned abortion.
Some of those sources u mentioned are close to propaganda and not so much with evidences, proofs. Like the image of a desperate chinese woman in the article about abortion.
China is facing a baby shortage after decades of a one child policy that resulted in millions of forced abortions and infanticide against girls. Yet CBS This Morning on Tuesday somehow never mentioned the brutal abortion practice that, according to NPR, resulted in “about 100 million missing...

That image is from an eartquake from China and that's why the woman is desperate. This is US lame propaganda, the abortion in China was a true fact, but the redactors can be from lazy liars to maliciously liars by publishing that image.
It became a real issue the fact that I have to double check whatever US media is claiming about China because of too many lies and propaganda spreaded which only makes more difficult to find the truth for those who do not pay attention or let them too easy be manipulated.
My opinion is that the real problem for US now is that they betrayed the trust of the entire world besides it's own citizens by spying and stealing all people's information all over the world through NSA, CIA, FBI, Facebook, Google, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, Intel, list is long.
And a lot of people found this betrayal revolting. To regain world trust, or at least my trust, US has to prove itself through beneficial actions from now on, and not by words and lame propaganda, and I am willing to give it at least a 2nd chance for that if they are covered by actions which correct it's wrongdoings. Let's hope that US will find the courage and determination to make it happen ASAP.
