China rejects State Dept report, tells US to turn human rights gaze inward
BEIJING (AFP) - China has told the United States it should look into its own human rights problems, slamming a State Department report claiming that Chinese defense lawyers were jailed on fictitious charges.



"The United States should know itself, check into its own problems and think more about how to improve its own human rights status," foreign ministry spokesman Liu Jianchao told a regular briefing.


"It should refrain from interfering in other countries' internal affairs under the pretext of human rights," he said.


Liu's remarks came after a series of scathing Chinese attacks on the United States following the revelation of widespread abuse of Iraqi prisoners at the hands of American troops.

3. Two wrongs don't make a right
But nobody listens to hypocrites either, which is the situation for Bush. BFEE doesn't really mind though, they always preferred the law of the jungle.

6. Never thought I'd live to see the day the ChiComs were CORRECT about us
Thanks, Bunnypants*, you fucker. I liked it much better when they were just a bunch of Third World Tyrants, albeit rich ones and we were a free nation.

Now, freedom is fading here in Imperial Amerika. And the Imperial family are just a bunch of Third World Tyrants, albeit rich ones, and if we allow them to finish what they've started, Amerika will go from "mostly still sort of free" to "Orwellian Totalitarian".

they MUST be stopped.
