Maybe your memory of history is very short, but the US pretty much championed a lot of the things you rail against China for in their "war on terror".

Torture camps and abducting people into them included, just like Internet-censorship (to prevent the spread of "terrorist propaganda") and pretty much the biggest and most sophisticated global surveillance system in human history, facilitated through the FiveEyes cooperation.

A lot of the things China does on a domestic basis, the US has been doing for decades on a global basis. The absurd thing about this all being: They all use the same reasoning to sell this authoritarian creep to the population, the "fight against terrorism".

And people gobble it up like it's the most normal thing ever, regardless of them being Chinese, US American or British.
