For sure. Those problems are domestic, though, so to some degree it is a little hypocritical of us given the rather poor track record of North Americans and indigenous peoples.
As a Canadian, I do feel like me criticizing China for its treatment of some indigenous groups would be rather hypocritical given how Canada treated the First Nations people (the last residential school closed in 1997).
That’s fair, but it just feels wrong to be criticizing other countries when we aren’t even doing enough for those who suffered in our own countries. It’s hypocritical.

lol very true
It’s only hypocritical if you approve of it in Canada.
If we all stay silent on topics because our individual countries have deeply problematic pasts, then we all stay silent.
We can be vocal about it at home and abroad.
