China accuses U.S. of "violating" human rights

Beijing .- China countered the U.S. over allegations that he has led in recent days at the repression of Chinese dissidents known for presenting a report that Washington also blamed for violating human rights and use them as a weapon "hegemonic." The report of the Chinese State Council (Executive), published two days after Washington launched an on violations of fundamental freedoms around the world, the U.S.

requires "concrete actions to improve its own human rights situation" and that "leave the hegemonic practice of using them to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries. " According to Beijing, the U.S. has no moral authority to present themselves as "human rights judge" and used them as a political tool to defame the image of other nations and advance their strategic interests.

" The U.S. report, China replica adds, is "full of distortions and accusations over 190 countries and regions including China, while the U.S. looks the other way when it comes to their terrible human rights situation." The Chinese document cites, for example, in the U.S. use of torture suspects to obtain confessions, and "severe restrictions in cyberspace" American, or violation of privacy of many citizens, with more than 6,600 records Americans users electronics.

It also accuses the U.S. democratic system "rely heavily on the money" because of the habitual use of funds of large companies in election campaigns, more and more expensive for the parties. On the other hand, "one in five people is a victim of crime each year" in the U.S., where there are 200 million guns and killings were frequent in settings such as university campuses.

The Chinese report also mentions the "deep" racial discrimination in the U.S., or the situation of women in that country, where 20 million women are victims of rape. Remember also the "terrible record of international human rights violations" in Washington, noting that the reports leaked by Wikileaks talk of 285,000 victims in the Iraq war between 2003 and 2009, a number of them civilians.

Each year, about a decade ago, China issued a report attacking the human rights situation in the U.S., always one or two days after Washington launched its annual document on the status of these fundamental freedoms in the world. On this occasion, the U.S. report, published last Friday 8, expressed concern about the growing persecution of the so-called dissident Beijing, with dozens of activists detained, including the famed artist Ai Weiwei, who has sparked condemnation from good the West.

Washington also accuses Beijing of increasing controls on the media and the Internet, as well as maintenance of repression in regions such as Tibet independence outbreaks or Xinjiang.
