"US citizens are not uniquely criminal"

US citizens are absolutely uniquely criminal.

The violent gun murder rate in the US is 5x what it is European countries. Those are stats based on deaths, not criminal prosecutions.

The number of 'high speed chases' etc. is considerably higher.

In some 'high crime / poverty' areas of the US, the amount of crime again is multiples of those of other nations.

Moreover, the US has the right to put people in prison for crimes in a different manner than say Sweden, who might only have someone in jail for 4 years for murder.

China is putting Uyghurs in jail for their ethnicity, not for any crimes committed, so the issue is moot.

Their crime is being Uyghurs.

The people convicted of crimes in the US are not inherently worse people than their counterparts in other countries. We have more crime because we have chosen to have more crime, blamed them, and incarcerated them because we have chosen to have that. In other countries people have made better choices, with a better outcome.
