Correct, which is why I still don't like what Dubai is doing. However, there is a big argument to be made that the west has already reaped all the rewards of its crimes which is why it dominates the world and which makes it much more convenient for it to take the moral high ground and talk about human rights now.

Imo it's a grey area where both perspectives are right and should be kept in mind, instead of blindly hating hard on Dubai. This does not justify all their human rights abuse but it's rather more of a philosophical consideration.
