Some of it is interesting insight into the CCC's propaganda techniques. This one caught my eye: The US has the best human rights record in the world! After this followed some of US's well known civil rights abuses and atrocities.

This seems like an obvious ploy to draw attention from China's ongoing and historical civil rights atrocities and abuses. Calling out another country is one way to signal the party has no interest in exiting the leaderboard of bulk mistreatment of human beings.

And to clarify, China's atrocities don't erase US atrocities. Or UK atrocities, French, Dutch or any of the historical (or current) mistreatment committed by other first world countries. Each needs it's own accountability.
