I'm afraid the UK, US and China are all pretty much tied for human rights abuses according to Amnesty International. You, like I, have been lied to on that point for a long, long time. In your country execution of mentally challenged children still happens (one of only three nations in the world, by the by). No government is without complicity in these crimes, and that should never be forgotten. Also, the FDA in the US knowingly ignored signs of bovine encephalitis and dangerous levels of ecoli in beef stock (fed with GM corn against all good practices of traditional farming) that led to the deaths of several infants (Google Kevin's Law, still not passed even now). The animal stock used in the US right now and the vast majority of slaughterhouses are flagrant abuse of animal rights. The poison that is put into yours and my food stock is just as bad, just as dangerous and damaging as anything China feeds to its population.
As is the want around here, I'll add this --- ...Just sayin' (although I have no clue of its origin)
EDIT : This is not a dig at you personally, or the US or even the UK, but at all Governments who put money, war and profit over people.
