It is only the angle of view...
I am not speaking only about China. Think in bigger picture. You can learn from US past... It is good that you mentioned human rights. It is not so long when your country treated native americans like an animals and everyone knows what problems US caused to african people in the past...
But, few decades later it is a very different nation in some ways.
You can think that this will happen in other nations again in the future. But please do not interfere. All the World knows how US ruined the stability in the middle east. Looked at the Afghanistan, everything will be going back within two years... Not mention Lybia, Syria, Irak and so on.
I know that their leaders was / are dictators, but there were a stability and it was possible to travel within this nations, but now...?
Please do not think that US way of democracy is the best for all people of the World. You can´t just do it somewhere, where they have 4k years of dictator leadership or something like that and think that everything will be great...
Only the future will tell us what was wrong or right in the past...
