Perhaps because they are more civically minded, and want what is best for their society and not necessarily individuals.
Can you possibly be saying that China should be used as the model nation for human rights? Anyone who hasn't been living under a rock would find that hard to do.
And no, I'm not saying that China is a model for human rights. But maxing out your human rights stat doesn't necessarily mean you will develop the best society, or a society that lasts.
So it basically depends how your governement treats you. Either as a bunch of children that need to be managed, or as responsible adults that need to take care of themselves.
The ideal is somewhere in the middle.
Even if you really want to sleep with your neighbors wife, it doesn't mean society needs to accept or encourage that action.
This is a private affair, between the wife, the husband and you.
It can be a concern for the community but it has nothing to do with the government !!!
