This dude talks at great length about the homeless problem in San Francisco and makes only the most token of nods towards the fact that China has profound social problems.

The Chinese government is an oligarchic, nepotistic cesspool that violates human rights on a massive scale with absolute impunity: the author's extensively elaborated moral outrage about the presence of homelessness in San Francisco juxtaposes absurdly with his starry-eyed gloss over the sickening injustices of the Communist Party.

I'd rather have a government that fails to effectively address homelessness than a government that blithely sells executed prisoners to Western roadshows. [1]
