Sure, lying isn’t adding to anyone’s credibility, but let’s say I claim to next to nothing about the previously mentioned Chinese culture or history, but know a lot about human rights? I don’t have to be an expert on China to know that their actions on human rights are terrible.
Compared to the West, China is doing much better on human rights right now. That aside, if you don’t know Chinese culture or Chinese language, you certainly can’t be considered an “expert on Chinese human rights”.
The reason I mentioned Fox News earlier is because the New Atheist movement just regurgitates crusader age propaganda to demonize Muslims, which is the classical equivalent of getting facts from Fox News. People who can’t even independently verify facts can certainly not be called experts in any field. Their only way of knowledge is repeating second hand information from others which would then be the actual experts (if they spoke the truth)
I don’t think there is such a thing as “Chinese human rights”. There are only human rights, and China (Chinese government) is violating them. While I agree that parts of the west (US) has taken steps in the wrong direction, saying that China is doing “much better on human rights” is wild, or in other words, completely bonkers.
I will defend Muslims and their human rights every day of the week, even though I detest religion because I believe that human rights are just that, rights.

The West is currently committing a full scale genocide in Palestine but i’m sure you can excuse that because they’re just brown people being killed by enlightened Westerners.
Imagine I did, would that give more or less credibility to my disdain of how the Chinese government is behaving in regards to these issues?
Less because you’d be lying about that so the rest of the comment would be dubious as well.

I have never, nor will I ever, excuse the genocide in Palestine/Gaza. Israel needs to stop killing Palestinians yesterday, no matter what.
