That is state rights, not human rights.
None of these are human rights, which are as the US have propounded as basic individual rights that are not granted by or abridged by any entity.
Let us take one of the ideas that the US proposed as a basic human right: Freedom of Expression.
At the individual level, it means you are free to ingest and express any idea you want. Let us not get bog down in the weeds about 'Yelling fire in a theater' scenario here.
The US is saying that this right is inherent, meaning permanence, something you are borne with. This right is as genetic as having five fingers, but unlike biology where genes can go wrong, what you are as a POLITICAL creature cannot go wrong. If you are politically conscious, you automatically have this right.
This is why the idea of 'Freedom of Expression' is so attractive all over.
So if China propose that 'Freedom of Expression' is a human right, the UN would disagree?
Instead of making this a impersonal issue, make it YOUR personal issue.
Do YOU approve of the concept of 'Freedom of Expression'?
If yes, then why is China not on board?
Ah, maybe you forget about this, in post #34. Aren't we go through this matter before, Gambit? We don't have to back into square one again, aren't we? It's okay then. Be careful with your health. Having Alzheimer is not something that you can ignore. And we don't need to go round and round again with something that we have talking about previously. It bad for your health. Plus, our bickering has no gain or lose. Just take care of your health. If you still want to win, then let me lose. I don't want to cause you a health degradation. You're old anyway. As the younger generation, I shouldn't push more.
