17. It's true, but usually what actually happens is that instead of
saying X is horrible to the xth degree, and Y is guilty to the yth degree, all you have is one group focusing on the one that they dispise the most. Granted people can only give their attention to one thing at a time, but it's not like we're required to forget about all the other things while we're doing so.

Note that I didn't say that the US wasn't guilty of rights violations; if I had wanted to say that, I could have. I said that China was using US flaws to either justify or draw attention from their own. These are two entirely different propositions, and have nothing to do with each logically.

And from what I've read, what I perceive to be China's intent is working.
