As with loving Levy's, so with providing a defnition for chutzpah

You don't have to be Jewish. Being Chinese will do just fine
The regime in China- which has murdered at least 75 million of its own people since Mao's revolution triumphed, and continues to persecute minority religions and oppress subjugated peoples- has the unmitigated gall to call the United States hypocritical for criticizing its matchlessly appalling human rights record!
The Yiddish word chutzpah is classically defined as that quality exhibited by a man who murders both of his parents, and then pleads for mercy on the ground that he is an orphan. Anything China has to say in criticism of anyone else's human rights record- much less that of the United States, in which instead of being concealed and defended as governmental policy abuses, on comparatively rare occasions when the they occur, are discovered, publicized, and become burning public issues- constitutes a far more outrageous example of chutzpah than the behavior of that ficticious parricide.
