It is totally relevant because it is not wise to make a country that does not respect human rights wealthy and powerful. If they treat their citizen so badly, how do you think they will treat non-Chinese.
Not to mention this is a regime that continues to murder respectable Chinese citizens and essentially sentenced Liu Xiaobo who won the nobel peace price and whose only "crime" is to advocate democracy to a death sentence by failing to properly treat his cancer at the early stages. Shame on you for defending such a inhuman regime.
