Your point is misguided, as your lack of interest and/or knowledge regarding China's current human rights violations is grossly lacking.
My point is based on over 10 years of studying the Chinese government and society. I have never claimed that China has a great human rights record. I simply do not believe that Iraq was a hell of a lot better.
