China issues report on US human rights

 China on Friday responded to the United States criticism and irresponsible remarks ofits human rights situation by publishing its own report on the US human rights issues.


The Human Rights Record of the United States in 2013 was released by the Information Office ofChina's State Councilor the Cabinetin response to the Country Reports on Human RightsPractices for 2013 issued by the US State Department on Thursday.

China said in the report that there were still serious human rights problems in the US in 2013,with the situation in many fields even deteriorating.

Posing as "the world judge of human rights," the US government "made arbitrary attacks andirresponsible remarkson the human rights situation in almost 200 countries and regions againin its just-released reportsthe report says.

"Howeverthe US carefully concealed and avoided mentioning its own human rights problems," itadds.

The report calls the US tapping programcode-named PRISMwhich exercises long-term andvast surveillance both at home and abroad, "a blatant violation of international lawand it"seriously infringes on human rights."

The US also faces rampant gun violenceaccording to the report. "In 2013, 137 people died in30 mass killingswhich caused four or more deaths eachin the US."

The report also cites figures to show that frequent drone strikes by the US in countries includingPakistan and Yemen have caused heavy civilian casualties.

The US has carried out 376 drone strikes in Pakistan since 2004, causing deaths of up to 926civiliansaccording to the report.

"The US still faces grave employment situation with its unemployment rate remained high," thereport says.

Rates of unemployment for the lowest-income families have topped 21 percentThe homelesspopulation in the US kept swelling and it had climbed 16 percent from 2011 to 2013, it added.

"There are also a large amount of child laborers in the agricultural sector in the US and theirphysical and mental health was seriously harmed," the report says.

To datethe US remains a country which has not ratified or participated in a series of core UNconventions on human rightssuch as the International Covenant on EconomicSocial andCultural Rightsthe Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women,the Convention on the Rights of the Childand the Convention on the Rights of Persons withDisabilitiesaccording to the report.
