Human Rights

It is this time of the year, again, the annual ritual in hypocrisy and feigned indignation. Responding to the US State Department's annual human rights report on China, which listed China as one of a handful countries whose human rights conditions had deteriorated, criticising in particular the Government’s treatment of the Tibetan and Uighur minorities, a FM spokesman showed his environmental friendliness by reusing the Chinese response from a year ago, calling the American report "groundless and irresponsible". Meanwhile, for the tenth year in a row, the State Council Information Office faked its concern for human rights situation in America by concocting another report on the human rights record of the US.
