That relativism is preposterous. China's regime is one of the most repressive and overpowering in existence today, and its citizens some of the least free people in the world. You cannot trivialise this or chalk it up as "nations defending against believed threats", because then everything is okay (Hitler was only building defences against the Jews they believed to be a threat, etc.).
