It's hard to travel anywhere these days. But the US "justice" system is not any better (just more hypocritical - at least China doesn't pretend to follow human rights). Pissing off the US is generally a bad idea due to all the extradition agreements in place. Take for example cyber crime: Guys like MalwareTech are being made an example of.
A country that imprisons people just because being poor and runs it's prisons as capitalist corporations, not to mention champions black sites to torture others shouldn't have an extradition agreement with anyone. The US partners in Europe are as bad.
I'm not suggesting the US is alone with this but us Westerners should be careful with pointing fingers at China, (or Russia) and claim that we have any right to lecture them on human rights issues or our superior legal system. Not in the age of Trump, Bannon, Farage, May, Kurz, Orban, Seehofer, and all other fascists in power today.
