In response to U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and U.S. ambassador to China Max Baucus’s statements on Wednesday marking International Human Rights Day, China’s Foreign Ministry spokesman, Hong Lei, said on Thursday that the United States has no right to confront other countries over human rights in light of the newly released Torture Report paired with America’s epidemic of excessive force and brutality by law enforcement calling America, “hypocrites”.
RawStory reports that in a daily news briefing, Hong, said,
“The United States has no right to pose as arbiters and at every turn point their fingers at other countries’ human rights as racism and mistreatment of prisoners and other serious problems in the United States are facts now known to all.”
Further, Hong said the United States needed to focus on their own problems and leave China alone to deal with theirs.

I have no use for China at all, BUT, the Chinese have it right… This leaders in the USA can NO LONGER hold themselves up as leader in the world for human rights… The USA’s militarizing of the police, race baiting, flooding the country with illegal aliens that have raped, murdered, and brought all kinds of horrendous diseases into the USA, showing they have NO concern for the resident citizens, etc. etc. The LEADERS lack of humanity with their own people have also by their lack of ethics promoted in the USA that same lack of caring and ethics among many of the people in the USA… SO, the leaders of the USA, clearly are not paragons of virtue, and as such cannot tell any other countries how to relate and develop their human rights inside their boarders… With those other countries, they see these USA leader doing the “do as I say not as I do” approach to human rights issues with other counties… NO ONE can respect of follow the lead of total hypocrites!!
This is like Hitler telling the leader of another country back in the early 1940′s that they don’t treat Jews right.
