But you will trust anything China says when it denies its long history of human rights abuses?

Something doesn't add up. I do appreciate your appeal to team human and I agree we can and should do better.

I have studied human rights abuses for over three decades now. I can confidently say no nation except perhaps in ancient history can compare to the US levels of human destruction. If you count environmental destruction then no country in history can come close.

So the problem with that is that all the accusations of human rights abuses come from the United States, so who am I supposed to trust? I know I can't trust the US, so why should I take the accusations seriously in the first place?

Oh that's cool. What do you do?
