For many decades America has been critical of communist China's human rights record. Much of this criticism has been on target, if maybe a little weak.
Now that China is beginning to feel it's oats, it has turned the tables and has begun criticizing America's human rights record. Although overall America has a far better human rights record than the Chinese, anyone with half a brain knows that America has done lots of things that none of us are proud of. Slavery and racism need to be on the list for sure. The Bush-Cheney water boarding and torture would certainly be on the list, as would letting millions of people die due to greed because they don't have access to health care.
The Chinese official news agency Xinhua recently reported that, "The United States not only has a terrible domestic human rights record, it is also the main source of many human rights disasters worldwide. Especially at 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."
Touche!
