Why does the world media criticize China so much on human rights when Singapore and China are both rising powers, yet Singapore has a much worse human rights record. Here are just a few human rights violations in Singapore:

1. no free media and access to banned material is strictly banned (much stricter than in China)
2. Secret police are everywhere
3. people get caned and tortured in jail. Also, they have the highest execution rate per capita. However Singapore is nice to women. They rarely get punished for anything
4. no freedom of speech
5. totalitarian state run by Lee Kuan Yew
6. men spend most of their young life (10 years including reserves) in the military where they suffer greatly for no reason. Singapore doesn't have any threats.
7. arbitrary detention with no causes
8. people are brainwashed by the PAP in a way similar to North Korea. They are taught that without the PAP Singapore will turn into chaos

Singapore even may have violated US sovereignty by burglarizing a human right advocates home. Here is the article:

Why don't human rights groups and the US media talk about the atrocities in Singapore? Are people really happy there or are they just too scared or brainwashed to say otherwise?

Singapore is an ally and friend of the United States, and is not Communist like China, nor is Singapore a formidable potential challenger of US supremacy across the globe.

Well, because criticism of other people's human rights record is purely for domestic US consumption only.

Given the way American whites treated black people during slavery and as recently as 1960, did not give blacks the civil right to vote, do you actually think white people care how Chinese gov't treat chinesey Chinese chineses??

No, it's just a way to vent their moral superiority, cover up any guilt left from civil right violations against blacks, and it's just another tool to bash China's Communsit governent.

To sum it up nicely. Singapore is a hypocrite.

there are plenty of forums and media sources dedicated to bombarding Singapore and its failure to accord human rights to its citizens and non-citizens...

check out the links to the Singabloodypore website for instance... there are plenty of watchers over Singapore's poor records, many of them by Singaporeans themselves!

FEER and the Economist consistently publish articles highlighting the blurred lines between the executive and judiciary in Singapore..

The blogosphere is full of groups advocating human rights issues in Singapore.. my personal favourite!?

THE MR BROWN SHOW!!!!

this is interesting analysis

White Americans treated BLACK PEOPLE very poorly, and treated NATIVE AMERICANS like $hit in their own land.

Why do you think White Americans care about the treatment of Chinese people? (not tryingn to sound racist or anything)...

It's just a way to criticize the Chinese Government, which is Communist, and they depise.

they complain about human rights ONLY when their interests are jeopardized (not that prc has poor human rights record or anything)

who says they even care if they despise them & want to criticize them, lol

btw they care enough now to have elected a black president

Yes, America, with slavery and genocide of Native Americans, should not be lecturing China (holder of 1/4 of humanity) on human rights.

America shouldn't be lecturing about China's military buildup, since America is the monkey going around picking fights with anyone and everyone these days.

America shouldn't be lecturing China on economics too, since America almost broke the world's back in 2008.

America, get off your high horse and shut up with your grand standing on moral issues, which you suck at.
