I'll give you an example.
Canada arrests someone due to a rules based treaty with the US. A judge sees them and arguments are given and the defendant has a chance to be freed if the independent judge rules in favor based on transparent evidence.
China kidnaps two people in retaliation, but claims it was done in accordance with the law. Trial is hidden, and defendants are in limbo. China claims this is due process for two men charged against the law and are not hostages. Unless we want to trade for them...
Its fairly obvious the differences in how our two governments operate.

I don't know, the western coalition killed 200,000 (conservative #) Iraqi civilians on a fairy tale.
As for kidnapping, Guantanamo looks like it fits the bill in a lot of cases.
My point being, there seems to be a pile on China mentality and while I agree the are doing horrible things, they aren't the first or the last to gain classified info illegally.
To be outraged China is doing it and thinking the US, UK, or Canada aren't seemed biased.
Wasn't that the whole basis of Wikileaks and Snowden?
As far as our country following the rules and order based on law, do we? There are multiple threads on this forum claiming we don't, most involve the liberals, some don't.
