Apart from Russia and North Korea, how are the other two any of our business? Especially over an event that happened 30 years ago. Since then we've had things like the Iraq war.

"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." MLK Having the Iraq war doesn't mean the Chinese government is freed from their crimes. Example- if I shoot somebody and 30yrs later someone I don't like shoots two people am I suddenly freed from what I've done? El Salvador agreed to take Trump's "illegal" immigrants into one of their max security prisons with horrible living conditions.

Except you pulled a "but akshually ☝️🤓" when someone brought up the USA and Israel. You can make a case both are worse than China

What does that even mean?

You can make a case both are worse than China

Feel free to make that case and present it to me.

China isn't systemically killing everyone in Gaza or a billionaire oligarchy where people are struggling to afford a home and working into their 70s

They're commiting forced sterilization of the Uyghurs, aka genocide.

Source? I recently visited China and realised basically everything I was told about them by the western media are lies.

American outlet. Not surprised. Just sounds like an over-exaggerated article on a terrorism prevention campaign. Europe and especially the middle east has had issues with Islamic terrorism. I doubt the sterilisation thing is true, unless it was an over zealous local official (often a local official does something stupid and western media starts depicting it as national policy). I saw a news report in China on TV highlighting the start of a local Uyghur festival in Urumqi. So they clearly aren't trying to pretend like they don't exist. They seem to take pride in their ethnic minorities over there from what I've observed.

All the people listed there appear to be American and the address at the bottom is American

That's just factually wrong. Kofi Annan was born in Ghana and died in Switzerland so he's obviously not a fucking American you'll have to do your own research on the rest.

Guess the CCP is hijacking my connection and changing the words on the webpage 🤪
