CHINA has slammed the human rights record of the United States in response to Washington's report on rights around the world, saying that US military operations have infringed on rights abroad and that political donations at home have thwarted the country's democracy.
The report released on Sunday in China - which defines human rights primarily in terms of improving living conditions for its 1.3 billion people- also cited gun violence in the US among its examples of human rights violations, saying it was a serious threat to the lives and safety of America's citizens.
The Human Rights Record of the United States in 2012 said the US government continues to strengthen the monitoring of its people and that political donations to election campaigns have undue influence on US policy.
"American citizens do not enjoy a genuinely equal right to vote," the report said, citing a decreased turnout in the 2012 presidential election and a voting rate of 57.5 per cent.
The report from the information office of the State Council, or China's Cabinet, which mostly cited media reports, said there was serious sex, racial and religious discrimination in the US and that the country had seriously infringed on the human rights of other nations through its military operations in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Yemen.
The US's annual global human rights report issued Friday by the State Department said China had imposed new registration requirements to prevent groups from emerging that might challenge government authority. It said Chinese government efforts to silence and intimidate political activists and public interest lawyers continued to increase, and that authorities use extralegal measures such as enforced disappearance to prevent the public voicing of independent opinions.
It also said there was discrimination against women, minorities and people with disabilities, and people trafficking, the use of forced labour, forced sterilisation and widespread corruption.
China's authoritarian government maintains strict controls over free speech, religion and political activity - restrictions that the US considers human rights violations.
