China's President Hu Jintao
The Chinese government excoriated the U.S. government as "hypocritical" via denouncing Washington's meddling in other nations' affairs and condemning other countries, while human rights abuses in the United States against Americans and residents continues unabated.
The rebuke was in response to a derogatory report the U.S. government issued on China. The Chinese government also took its American counterparts in Washington to task, for the current global financial crisis, which began in the U.S. corporate sector, that former President George W. Bush, left unattended, labeling in "a free market" which allowed financial corruption to take root and destroy the financial portfolios of many people in America.
The Chinese government stated, as a result of said lax financial policies and lack of corporate policing, many "People are suffering all over the world" having lost their homes, bank accounts and life savings.
China is the largest holder of U.S. debt and has become concerned regarding the $1 trillion dollars it is owed, in the face of the devaluation of the U.S. dollar, due to increased spending in Washington over the past year, in trying to correct former President George W. Bush's horrific decisions.
China calls U.S. a hypocrite over human rights
Fri Mar 12, 2010 9:24am EST - (Reuters) - China accused Washington of hypocrisy on Friday for its criticism of Beijing's restrictions on the Internet and dissent, blaming the United States for the financial crisis and saying its own rights record was terrible.
In its annual survey of human rights in 194 countries issued on Thursday, the U.S. State Department criticized China, along with Cuba, Myanmar, North Korea and Russia.
China's State Council Information Office, or cabinet spokesman's office, issued its own annual assessment of the United States' human rights record in response, and this year it dwelt on America's economic woes.
"The United States not only has a terrible domestic human rights record, it is also the main source of many human rights disasters worldwide," the Chinese report said, according to the official Xinhua news agency.
"Especially a time when the world is suffering serious human rights disasters caused by the global financial crisis sparked by the U.S. sub-prime crisis, the U.S. government has ignored its own grave human rights problems and reveled in accusing other countries."...
The latest Chinese counter-blast to U.S. criticisms said Washington should concentrate on "improving its own human rights."
