Citing America's Violence, Torture and Racism, China Tells the U.S. To Shut Its Yapper About Human Rights

Apparently, the People's Republic of China has had just about enough of the pot calling the kettle black so they have requested that America stop pointing any fingers at them regarding human rights.

From the story over at Reuters via Breitbart:

The United States is beset by violence, racism and torture and has no authority to condemn other governments' human rights problems, China said on Sunday, countering U.S. criticism of Beijing's crackdown.

The row between Beijing and Washington over human rights has intensified since China's ruling Communist Party extended its clampdown on dissidents and rights activists, a move which has sparked an outcry from Washington and other Western governments.

Chinese artist Ai Weiwei is the most prominent of the activists to be detained by police or held in secretive custody in the latest crackdown.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Friday she was "deeply concerned" about it, and cited "negative trends" including Ai's detention.

You know, you'd have to be deaf, dumb and blind to not notice how the entire world had caught onto the fact that Barack Hussein Obama has set up America to be the whipping post for the entire world right now. I remember a day when many countries would think twice about pissing off America - either they feared a sort of isolation economically or they feared a cut in their foreign aid or they even feared some sort of military action but not now, not with the Great Apologist at the helm of this country. No, now it's the international sport of using America as a punching bag and knowing damn well that they can get away with it.

To think that China would seriously make a claim of racism and violence and torture in the United States as a reason why the atrocities going on in that country should be ignored is almost laughable.

But you know, I guess if the Chinese are watching certain video clips of America...you know, like clips of Obama's pastor saying that G_d damns America....or Obama's friend having bombed the Pentagon in his past.....well, perhaps that is where they get these crazy notions.

We have China calling us "racist", we have the likes of Iran calling us "The Great Satan", we have Venezuela taunting us at every turn and we even have a Mexican president standing on our soil degrading our country and we wonder what in the world happened? Remember the claim that electing Barack Hussein Obama to the White House post would make all of the world like America again? Well, I guess the strategy of Obama to make America out as the bad guy in all of the world's problems has backfired....you see, none of the world's leaders have taken in those apologies and said "boy, America is really humble now, we like them"....ummm...no...they have said "the once great America is now a sniveling, weak-kneed coward so let's take this chance to pummel the shit out of them."

China tells U.S. to quit as human rights judge


(Reuters) - The United States is beset by violence, racism and torture and has no authority to condemn other governments' human rights problems, China said on Sunday, countering U.S. criticism of Beijing's crackdown.

The row between Beijing and Washington over human rights has intensified since China's ruling Communist Party extended its clampdown on dissidents and rights activists, a move which has sparked an outcry from Washington and other Western governments.

Chinese artist Ai Weiwei is the most prominent of the activists to be detained by police or held in secretive custody in the latest crackdown.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Friday she was "deeply concerned" about it, and cited "negative trends" including Ai's detention.

A U.S. State Department report on global human rights released on Friday said Beijing had stepped up restrictions on lawyers, activists, bloggers and journalists, and tightened controls on civil society.

It has also increased its efforts to control the press, Internet and Internet access, the report said.

But China has shown no sign of bowing to foreign pressure.

Its Foreign Ministry on Saturday dismissed the U.S. report as meddling, and its own annual report about U.S. human rights stressed Beijing's dismissive view.

"Stop the domineering behavior of exploiting human rights to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries," it said, according to excerpts published by the official Xinhua news agency.

"The United States ignores its own severe human rights problems, ardently promoting its so-called 'human rights diplomacy', treating human rights as a political tool to vilify other countries and to advance its own strategic interests," said a passage from the Chinese report

Produced by the State Council Information Office, the government's public relations arm, the report dwelled on what it said were severe deprivations and threats facing many Americans, as well as Washington's invasion of Iraq.

It also cited the United States' refusal to ratify a number of international human rights pacts, and listed poverty, hunger and homelessness as stains on the country's rights record.

"The United States is the world's worst country for violent crimes," said the report. "Citizens' lives, property and personal safety do not receive the protection they should."

"Racial discrimination is deeply rooted in the United States, permeating every aspect of social life," it said.

Criticism of China's human rights problems do not come just from foreign governments and groups.

Chinese rights lawyers and advocates have also been dismayed by a recent burst of arrests, detentions and heavy sentences against dissidents and activists.

On Sunday, hundreds of Chinese police moved to prevent a planned outdoor service by a church in Beijing that had been evicted from its former premises.
