you seem to be very defensive of China's human right violations. I took a peek at your comments and you aren't doing a good job of hiding it. Either way, to address your point; people have raised concern. The vast majority of US citizens want the country to pull out of the unending war and steps are being made to do so. Chinese citizens have less power to enact change and spread awareness. Not an apt comparison in the slightest. I would love for you to respond to some of the other replies and see how you rationalize this to yourself.

It’s probably because these threads always devolve into Chinese “people” bashing.
Israel is doing some horrible things as well, but the conversation around it is much more muted and balanced. A US politician was even rebuked for talking about “Israeli political influence” but would have been praised if she warned about “Chinese influence.”

Israel is actually constantly debated on US news. Yet Israel doesn't indoctrinate Palestinians in giant reeducation camps, doesn't control their speech, and doesn't arrest family for doings of family members, nor punishes for having faith in Islam. China is a mindless, heartless machine. Comparisons to Israel are silly.
