Did we piss in their corn flakes again?

Quote:BEIJING, Feb. 28 (Xinhua) -- The State Council Information Office of the People's Republic of China published a report titled "Human Rights Record of the United States in 2013" on Friday.

Following is the report's full text:

Human Rights Record of the United States in 2013

State Council Information Office of the People's Republic of China

Foreword

The State Department of the United States, which posed as "the world judge of human rights," made arbitrary attacks and irresponsible remarks on the human rights situation in almost 200 countries and regions again in its just-released Country Reports on Human Rights Practices for 2013. However, the U.S. carefully concealed and avoided mentioning its own human rights problems. In fact, there were still serious human rights problems in the U.S in 2013, with the situation in many fields even deteriorating.

-- In 2013, 137 people died in 30 mass killings, which caused four or more deaths each, in the U.S.. A shooting rampage in the headquarters of the Naval Sea Systems Command in Washington, D.C. left 12 people dead.

-- The U.S. engaged in a tapping program, code-named PRISM, exercising long-term and vast surveillance both at home and abroad. The program is a blatant violation of international law and seriously infringes on human rights.

-- The use of solitary confinement is prevalent in the U.S.. About 80,000 U.S. prisoners are in solitary confinement in the country. Some have even been held in solitary confinement for over 40 years.

-- The U.S. still faces grave employment situation with its unemployment rate remained high. Rates of unemployment for the lowest-income families have topped 21 percent. The homeless population in the U.S. kept swelling and it had climbed 16 percent from 2011 to 2013.

-- There are a large amount of child laborers in the agricultural sector in the U.S. and their physical and mental health was seriously harmed.

-- Frequent drone strikes by the U.S. in countries including Pakistan and Yemen have caused heavy civilian casualties. The U.S. has carried out 376 drone strikes in Pakistan since 2004, causing deaths of up to 926 civilians.

-- The U.S. remains a country which has not ratified or participated in a series of core UN conventions on human rights, such as the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, the Convention on the Rights of the Child, and the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.


Lots more here

China does this every year to deflect from it's own terrible human rights record.

Doesn't mention the human trafficking problem.

Child laborers in the agricultural sector? How msny Chinese kids you think work on family farms?
As a farm kid myself, I wouldn't call it child labor, more like a good upbringing.

How about all of the Chinese kids working in the damn Chinese food stores? Obviously they like it better over here than in their crappy country.

BTW China provides the N. Korean government with the money and resources to do things like this:

Yeah... like I'm going to listen to any $hit from the Chinese. Their first example sucks anyway. If you want to throw out these reports, at least provide actual cases where the government is screwing the citizens. Not citizens attacking their fellow citizens because they are f**ked up individuals.

Yep. Though I believe Syria and Iran were on the UN Human Rights Committee at one time and did the same thing against the US. And Hillary and Barack took it seriously too.

World should thank Iran for high execution rate, says Tehran official

Quote:Iran has stepped up executions, and believes in doing so, it has earned the gratitude of mankind.

The Islamic republic's execution rate, which has soared to ghastly heights since self-described moderate Hassan Rouhani became president last year, should be viewed as a “positive marker of Iranian achievement,” according to the head of Iran’s Judiciary Human Rights Council.

The world should view Iran’s executions and violent crackdowns as a “great service to humanity,” Mohammad Javad Larijani said this week, speaking at a Human Rights Council meeting.

America is not perfect, but it is one of the countries as close to perfect in the world.

China was called out in the UN report since they repatriate any North Koreans found in China & refuse to allow UN inspectors near the border. There response was something like ' they are not all killed when returned because some of them make it back over here'.

North Korea is a scary place. Read a few books the last few months (This is paradise, The Aquariums of Pyongyang, Nothing to envy, & escape from camp 14). Plus this pdf at - http://www.davidrhawk.com/ (hidden gulag - second edition).
