China Reports On US Human Rights Record
China reports on US human rights record
Submitted by Michael Munk | www.MichaelMunk.com
China Friday retorted US criticism by publishing its own report on the US human rights record.
"As in previous years, the (US) reports are full of accusations of the human rights situation in more than 190 countries and regions including China, but turn a blind eye to, or dodge and even cover up rampant human rights abuses on its own territory," said the Information Office of the State Council in its report on the US human rights record.
The Human Rights Record of the United States in 2009 was in retaliation to the Country Reports on Human Rights Practices for 2009 issued by the US Department of State on March 11.
The report is "prepared to help people around the world understand the real situation of human rights in the United States," said the report.
The report reviewed the human rights record of the United States in 2009 from six perspectives: life, property and personal security; civil and political rights; economic, social and cultural rights; racial discrimination; rights of women and children; and the US' violation of human rights against other countries.
It criticized the United States for taking human rights as "a political instrument to interfere in other countries' internal affairs, defame other nations' image and seek its own strategic interests."
China advised the US government to draw lessons from the history, put itself in a correct position, strive to improve its own human rights conditions and rectify its acts in the human rights field.
This is the 11th consecutive year that the Information Office of China's State Council has issued a human rights record of the United States to answer the US State Department's annual report.
"At a time when the world is suffering a serious human rights disaster caused by the US subprime crisis-induced global financial crisis, the US government still ignores its own serious human rights problems but revels in accusing other countries. It is really a pity," the report said.

I've agreed with China's previous similar or identical statements and doubt that my view will be changing anytime soon; because I doubt that the U.S. "leadership" will become moral, ethical, ... anytime soon.
And Canada deserves to be named right along with the USA.
I've known about, but hadn't previously viewed the following very important and excellent, though also very hard, difficult documentary that interviews Christian minister or Rev. Kevin Annett about the long and ongoing GENOCIDE, very brutal, terrifying, ... genocide against Canadian First Nations Indians, as well as some Inuits. It's very much or mostly about the 100-year history of the Canadian Residential School System, this death camp system, against First Nations of Canada and due to the extreme crimes of the main churches, Anglican, RC, United, and, according to Rev. Annett's website, www.hiddenfromhistory.org, Presbytarian churches, and the Canadian government, politically, and RCMP. Terrifying crimes are described, and while the death camp school system history ended during the 1990's, or the 1980's, extreme genocide continues.
Welcome to Nazi'ist Canada.
Instead of providing a link, I'll let readers of this who wish to view the documentary, which is nearly two hours in length, use the Google Videos search engine, for this returns plenty of links and among the first few are links for a full-length single clip copy at Google Videos, and a link for an 11-clip copy at Youtube. Just search using, UNREPENTANT and "Kevin Annett" for search terms.
Those search terms suffice to find the video clips, but the title of the documentary is, "UNREPENTANT: Kevin Annett and Canada's Genocide".
Rev. Annett provides a little on old Canadian history, I believe of the 18th century, or earlier, and it's about a British General Jeffrey (or Jeffry?) Amherst, who wrote in a journal about what he was doing and what was to be done; the extermination of the Canadian Indian tribes in Nova Scotia, the MicMac and others aligned with the French, which included the Huron and Algonquin speaking tribes. He wrote that this was to be done through the spreading of deadly infectious diseases, and by any other methods that would work for exterminating the Indians.
One of the principal methods used was the spreading of SMALL POX among the Indians.
Small pox! And that's just the first element of proof of germ warfare having been deliberately used against the Canadian First Nations. The germ warfare continued to be conducted until recently, after the mid-20th century, and infectious diseases used to "kill off" the Indians during this latter period again included small pox, but also tuberculosis.
Canada's making Nazi Germany seem not the worst, after all. Some people have written about Hitler having purportedly learned about killing off people rather quickly without needing to use bullets, etcetera. I'm not sure that he only did purportedly learn of this in this manner. It's credible that he did learn from U.S. and Canadian conduct against the indigenous populations in these two countries.
Eugenics? Nazis are faulted for this crime, but Canada also practiced it, including until recently, against First Nations Canadians; through the use of forced sterilizations and, if I'm recalling correctly from the documentary I'm recommending and which I'm almost finished viewing, right now, but will need to view again in full in order to remember all of the important details the film provides, well, the eugenics were also performed in other ways.
Literally, germ warfare, and eugenics, plus brutally torturing, murdering, ... Canadian First Nations persons, especially children. And with the eugenics part of the whole story, the cildren of hereditary chieftain families have been the particularly targeted ones, though other families' children were also targeted.
In the film and in the part on using germ warfare, the film refers to and shows a cited statement that a former Canadian Federal Minister of Indian Affairs wrote back to his superior(s) in 1907. This was a Dr Peter Bryce, who had been sent to check out one or more hospitals in B.C. where Indian children were kept. After checking these places well, he wrote that what he found was that the mortality rate of the children was around 50% a year, while adding that this was "a national crime". Following this information in the film, Rev. Annett Shows an image of an Ottawa Citizen (of Ottawa, Ontario, the national capital) newspaper article about these hospitals and the article reported that the mortality rate was around 69%. 50% was the conservative rate.
Tuberculosis was the infectious disease being used in these above hospitals that Dr Bryce and the Ottawa Citizen wrote about.
However, germ warfare history didn't end that far back, either! There are First Nations survivors of these death camp hospitals and schools who speak in the film, from recent recording of their statements, and some of these people describe what they witnessed in these hospitals. Many more than this number of survivors speaking in the film speak about the death camp schools, and how it is they were ever put there; forcibly removed from their families.
Torture was brutal, and Indians who got through these death camps without being harmed just happen to be people who "nicely" cooperated with the "authorities".
The Canadian Churches and govt literally, blatantly, ... have been trying to totally wipe out the First Nations Canadians, and perhaps the most brutal methods aren't used any longer, but blatant, literal genocide is continuing.
And guess who else they have for enemies today? Indian lawyers and politicians.
Also, Rev. Kevin Annett and survivors of the death ... history who testified at a tribunal, which I think was held not long before 2005, though I don't think the date is stated in the video, unless it's a detail I'll pick up with a second viewing, were [attacked]; literally and violently attacked in a variety of ways after this tribunal occurred. And these aren't attacks by ordinary Canadians.
The USA has no grounds for preaching to China about human rights abuses, and neither does Canada. China commits some abuses, evidently, but China is sometimes accused of abuses the government there is not really responsible for; according to some articles I've read and which were by credible people, anyway.
And the U.S. State Dept probably should not exist, but while it does, it [is] a terrorist organisation of the government of the USA! Every time the Dept of State accuses Iran, f.e., of terrorism or harboring terrorists, whatever, the DoS is committing terrorism, as well as blatant hypocrisy.
When the USA threatens sanctions against Iran without any proof at all that sanctions are justified, the USA is again committing terorrism; [as usual].
The U.S. "leadership" is a terrorist leadership; a leadership of terrorism, and also much worse.
I agree with China's statement, but I'd add Canada along with the USA.
