I don't think they're better off than the UK or US. China has absolutely the worst history a country can possibly have when dealing with human rights. We're talking about a society that has complete and utter control over what goes out in the media, there's is no freedom of press whatsoever and news only narrate what is convenient for the government. A society that imprisons leaders, arrests or attacks people for speaking out of order.You're better off mute if you want to live in a place where you're constantly afraid to speak your mind. Yes, it is true some of these things happen in other places, just not to this extreme. Then finally, an escape opportunity arrives to the Chinese community, THE INTERNET, bearing in mind not all of them have access if at all to a computer or even cybercafe...and what do they do? they ban websites..they limit what the Chinese can and cannot see over the Web. Websites like the Human Rights Watch?? are you kidding..that just speaks for itself. They live as if it were a social experiment; they control what people see, read and do...pretty soon they'll turn into robots. Hey,

As for setting an example...USA and UK have our fair share of internet companies illicitly taking people's info without their explicit information. And as for keeping promises...I think current political institutions in the 'western' world have broken quiet a few promises themselves in the past few years. So generally i do think they are setting a good example (well better then us that is) through actually making improvements in human rights and civil liberties not like our governments who have been slowly eroding civil liberties for the past few years.
