I disagree there. You will have to mention America when talking about abuses in China on the ground of fairness.Slidey said:Not really. You're still bringing up America in a thread about China, and arguing that America is as bad as China. Regardless of whether or not that's true, it looks very much to me as though we are no longer talking about China's human rights issues.
An unbiased point of view is always needed when talking about issues such as this. I don't think that by mentioning the United States' human rights abuses would mitigate China's abuses in any way. On the contrary, I think it provides another dimension to the issue and brings a philosophical perspective to the equation.
Yes, I have every confidence that the U.S can overcome its problems. The United States of America is built on the ideals of freedom, liberty and justice for all, not tyranny.
