It just comes down to jealousy. Here you have a country which was counted as backwards but is now close to being a rival. Of course they're going to harp on the bad. Oh, please.

China's positive gains in improving quality-of-life for its citizens are often overshadowed by negative media coverage about human rights violations.

But the West should keep in mind that civil progress takes time after a country has reach economic prosperity. Great article.
