I'm not sure if you are aware of this, but the Republic of China is not the same thing as the People's Republic of China.

China is listed as being not ratified. Therefore they are not legally bound.
Also, the constitution of China applies to Chinese citizens. Not foreign agents.
Ironic that you call me a dummy when you are completely uninformed on the issues yourself.
Also, wasn't it just 15 years ago that the United States unilaterally went to war with Iraq, leading to a conservative estimate of half a million Iraqi citizen deaths? This action was taken despite condemnation from the UN. I think people around the world are just sick and tired of the western world lecturing them on human rights issues when western countries have committed the majority and most brutal human rights violations in the last century.
