Come on. The USA and other nations have troubling records too, if not worse. USA is at war in 8+ countries. Just killed 100k in Yemen. Puhleaz.

The 100k dead in Yeman is the result of a war over years of fighting. There are many player involved that have lead to this death toll. The US has its share of blood on its hand from this conflict but so do many other nations who fund different sides of the war.

My problem with china is there blatant disregard for the treatment of their own citizens. There are physical internment camps with real people telling stories about them. We have doctors that just disappear. It not hard to find many more examples.

The US and others major nations have problems but China takes it to the next level. Them being on the council is a disgrace. Shame on the UN.

Agreed. Yemen is not simple, nor are their oppressors. Thanks for the link.

The USA had the highest prison population by a LONG shot, so that's not friendly treatment of their own citizens. Now the we live in a prison planet, so it's all moot.

A couple years ago the USA had 80+ naturopathic doctors die - an abnormally huge amount in a short period - and it remains mostly unreported.

It's not so different. China is reigning terror down upon 1 billion and the USA is reigning terror down upon 1 billion spread around the globe.

It's a shame you hold the UN in such high regard. They have some worse corruption and abuses than many of their nations. They claim to be peace keepers when too often they are not.
