Criticizing the US government report on human rights, China today said that ‘the United States has turned a blind eye to its own woeful human rights situation and remained silent about it,” Xinhua news agency reported.The "Human Rights Record of the United States in 2011" was released by the Information Office of the State Council, or China's cabinet, in response to the "Country Reports on Human Rights Practices for 2011" issued by the U.S. State Department on May 24.
The U.S. report is "full of overly critical remarks on human rights conditions in nearly 200 countries and regions, as well as distortions and accusations concerning human rights causes in China. However, the United States has turned a blind eye to its own woeful human rights situation and remained silent about it," China's report said.
The "Human Rights Record of the United States in 2011" is intended to reveal the "true human rights situation" of the U.S. to the world and "urge the U.S. to confront its own actions," the document said.
The report states that violations of civil and political rights have been "severe" in the U.S., adding that the country is "lying to itself" when referring to itself as the "land of the free."
The report cited the treatment of protestors participating in the Occupy Wall Street movement, stating that their arrests can provide a "glimpse of the truth regarding the United States' so-called freedom and democracy."

We are proud of you seeing the way you are becoming the world superpower.
The US and all western forces are trying to cover up their failure to maintain their powers, which were gained thru alliances with brutal terrorists like LTTE.
May you be blessed by the triple gem for ever!
Some above comments doesnt make any sense because US is not harassing its own people, but China and its pro regimes are. US is safe guarding amd protecting its people anywhere in the world. US troops commited lot of crimes around the world but they justify their actions with the support of europe. China has the worst human rights records.
.........because US is not harassing its own people..........
This must be the understatement of the century. Have you any idea that the US leads the world in the number of its citizens in Prisons. The United States has less than 5 percent of the world's population. But it has almost a quarter of the world's prisoners.Americans are locked up for" crimes "— — that would rarely produce prison sentences in most other countries. And in particular they are kept incarcerated far longer than prisoners in other nations. Criminologists and legal scholars in other industrialized nations say they are mystified and appalled by the number and length of American prison sentences. On the other hand China, which is four times more populous than the United States, is a distant second,. Need I say more?
No woman ever became president.
education, health care, are industries.
