We are not letting Canada off the hook, but at least there's mechanism there to investigate. Whereas in China, they are still denying the issue despite HUGE pile of evidence.
Plus, let's look at the countries that backed CCP: Russia, Belarus, Iran, North Korea, Syria and Venezuela, all of which have been accused of wide-ranging human rights abuses... so...
NO country is perfect. Doesn't mean we can't call out others.
