While China saying even one word about human rights is fucking hilarious, one can't help noticing that they've been emboldened by the presumably "weak" new US president, and doing what they for some reason dared not do, at least not so boldly, while his orange-headed predecessor was in office:

China accuses US of being 'deeply hypocritical' on human rights record

South China Sea: alarm in Philippines as 200 Chinese vessels gather at disputed reef

Claiming they were "invited" there by the ethnic Russian majority, who felt threatened by Kyiv's "recent escalation" (apparently, what the Russians call "Nuland's fascist clique" in Kyiv have felt emboldened lately, and conspiracy theories abound about them having been offered something by Biden to undermine the fragile Minsk accords ceasefire.

China saying anything at all in response to criticism from another country is the real surprise here... Usually they’re content to just steamroll ahead with their affairs and smooth their wake with money and sweat taxed up from the masses...
