BEIJING, Feb. 26 (Xinhua) -- China on Thursday hit back at a United States report on its human rights with its own report on the U.S. human rights record. "The U.S. practice of throwing stones at others while living in a glass house is a testimony to the double standards and hypocrisy of the United States in dealing with human rights issues and has undermined its international image," the Information Office of the State Council said in its report on the U.S. human rights record. The Human Rights Record of the United States in 2008 was in retaliation to the Country Reports on Human Rights Practices for 2008 issued by the U.S. Department of State on Feb. 25. For years, the United States had positioned itself over other countries and released the Country Reports on Human Rights Practices annually to criticize human rights conditions in other countries, using it as a tool to interfere with and demonize other nations, the report said. The U.S. has turned a blind eye to its own violations of human rights. "As in previous years, the reports are full of accusations of the human rights situation in more than 190 countries and regions, including China, but mention nothing of the widespread human rights abuses on its own territory," China said in its report. "The Human Rights Record of the United States in 2008 is prepared to help people around the world understand the real situation of human rights in the United States, and as a reminder for the United States to reflect upon its own issues," China said. The report reviewed the U.S. human rights record from six perspectives: life and personal security; civil and political rights; economic, social and cultural rights; racial discrimination; rights of women and children; and the United States' violation of human rights in other countries. The report warned the United States that widespread violent crime posed serious threats to its people's lives and security. According to a report published in September 2008 by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the country reported 1.4 million violent crimes, including 17,000 murders and 9.8 million property crimes in 2007. More frequent gun killings were a serious threat to the lives of U.S. citizens, the report said. It quoted the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention assaying that 1.35 million high school students in 2007 were either threatened or injured with a weapon at least once on school property. The report said an increasing number of restrictions had been imposed on civil rights in the United States. It cited government surveillance of online activities, new legislation on government wiretapping last July, more cases of police abuse of force and neglect of basic rights of 2.3 million prisoners in the United States. The United States was facing a number of social problems, including a wide wealth gap, increasing number of homeless, needy people and those suffering hunger, the report said. It quoted the U.S. Census Bureau as saying in August 2008 that 12.5 percent of Americans, or 37.3 million people, were living in poverty in 2007, up from 36.5 million in 2006. The unemployment rate increased from 4.6 percent in 2007 to 5.8percent in 2008, the report said. People in the United States saw their pension plans shrink, health insurance cut and school tuition increase, while drugs, suicide and other social problems prevailed, according to the report. The report said racial discrimination prevails in "every aspect of social life" in the United States, ranging from income, employment, education, to judicial system, often with African Americans as major victims. "Nearly one quarter of black American households live below the poverty line, three times that of white households," it said, citing The State of Black America, issued by the National Urban League in March 2008. The jobless rate for blacks was 10.6 percent in the third quarter of 2008, twice that of the whites, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. The report said the African American high school graduation and college entry rates still lingered at the level of whites "two or three decades ago", and African American students in public schools were "more likely to get physical punishment than White children." "African American youths arrested for murder are at least three times more likely than their white peers to receive life imprisonment without the possibility of parole," the report said, quoting a 2008 report of the New York-based Human Rights Watch. It also mentioned the infringement of basic rights of indigenous Americans, inhumane treatment received by immigrants, and serious racial hostility and rising hate crime in the United States. On "worrisome" conditions of women and children, the report said gender-based discrimination in employment, and domestic violence and sexual violence toward women were quite serious. Also, an increasing number of children were living in poverty and danger of being physically or mentally harmed due to abuse and violence. "The United States is one of the few countries in the world where minors receive the same criminal punishments as adults," the report said. "It is the only country in the world that sentences children to life in prison without possibility of parole or release." "The United States has a string of records of trampling on the sovereignty of and violating human rights in other countries," the report said. It listed the Iraq war, prisoner abuse at Guantanamo, the five-decade embargo against Cuba and arm sales. The war in Iraq had claimed more than 1 million civilian lives and caused the same number of homeless people, it said. The United States maintained the embargo against Cuba, though the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution urging itto end the embargo in last October. U.S. arm sales reached 32 billion U.S. dollars in 2007 and weapons were sold to more than 174 nations and regions. The United States was inactive on its international human rights obligations and offered outbound humanitarian aid that was dwarfed by its status as the richest country in the world, the report said. China in the report advised the U.S. government to "face its own human rights problems with courage, and to stop applying double standards to human rights issues". This is the 10th consecutive year that the Information Office of China's State Council has issued a report on the human rights record of the United States to answer the U.S. State Department's annual report. "Respect for and protection of human rights is an important indication of civilization and progress of human society," the report said. "Every government shoulders a common responsibility in committing itself to the improvement of human rights conditions.
BEIJING, April 15 (Xinhua) -- Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao held official talks with his Papua New Guinean counterpart Michael Thomas Somare here on Wednesday, pledging closer bilateral cooperation in various areas.Citing the profound friendship between the two countries, Wen said China is willing to keep high-level contacts and party-to-party exchanges with Papua New Guinea. Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao (R) shakes hands with Papua New Guinea's Prime Minister Michael Somare at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, capital of China, on April 15, 2009 The Chinese government supports its competitive companies to invest in Papua New Guinea, and carry out substantial cooperation with the country based on equality and mutual benefits, Wen said. The current financial crisis had posed greater difficulties to less developed countries including island countries, Wen said, adding China would seriously fulfill its commitment of the United Nations Millennium Development Goals, and help countries involved to get over the difficulties. Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao (L) and Papua New Guinea's Prime Minister Michael Somare review the honor guard at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, capital of China, on April 15, 2009.Somare applauded the great achievements of bilateral ties since the establishment of diplomatic ties in 1976, citing frequent high-level visits, deep political trust and fruitful cooperation in all fields. He said his government and people are grateful to the support and help China offered to Papua New Guinea's economic and social development. Calling China a sincere cooperation partner, Somare reiterated Papua New Guinea's adherence to the one-China policy. He hopes China could continue its support for Papua New Guinea in diversified areas including education and public health. The two premiers also attended the signing ceremony of a series of bilateral economic and technological cooperation agreements after their talks.

LONDON, April 3 (Xinhua) -- As the curtain dropped on the G20 London summit, Chinese Commerce Minister Chen Deming on Friday reiterated China's opposition to protectionism and voiced support for cooperation. "This summit has yielded a series of positive and pragmatic results for the international society to jointly tackle the current financial crisis," Chen said. He said it included reaching broad consensus on stabilizing international financial markets, speeding up reform of the international financial system, actively pushing forward the Doha round talks, and opposing trade protectionism. Chen said history and experiences have proved that protectionism will only drag the world economy into deeper recession. As the crisis is worsening, people have increasingly realized the necessity and urgency to reject protectionism, he said. Chinese President Hu Jintao pointed out at the G20 summit that facing the impact of the international financial crisis, China will continue to stick to its opening-up and reform policy, and unswervingly adopt the mutually-beneficial and win-win strategy. China will not turn to protectionism just because it is encountering some temporary difficulties during the process of economic development, he said. What the world needs now, Chen said, is to adopt economic stimulus plans to jointly overcome the difficulties and to recover economies. At this critical time, people must be especially cautious about protectionism, preventing it from sabotaging all the efforts that the world has done so far, he said. "China will act responsibly, seriously implement the agreements reached at the G20 summit, in efforts to push forward the world economy, as well promote the development of international trade," Chen said. He proposed that the international community jointly maintain a fair and open international trade environment, protect the authority and seriousness of multilateral trade regulations, actively push forward the Doha round talks, and jointly resist protectionism. Chen noted that despite all the anti-protectionism claims by many countries, protectionist measures are in fact making inroads since the outbreak of the financial crisis. China supports the G20 agreement to extend the ban on protectionism until the end of 2010, however, it remains difficult to define protectionism and unreasonable trade restriction measures, Chen said. All measures not allowed by the WTO are considered protectionist, and therefore should not be allowed to be implemented, he said. Chen also raised concerns over the possible misuse of some measures permitted by the WTO, such as trade subsidy, and urged restraint. The WTO members should try not to use, or use with discretion protectionist policies, so as to create a sound climate for promoting free trade, he said. Currently, the WTO has established a monitoring mechanism, with periodical reports on its members' actions, a move conducive to curbing protectionism, Chen said. Protectionism is on the rise since the crisis, but it still falls short of being rampant, which indicates the global multilateral trade rules remain effective to some extent, he said. China supports the establishment of such a WTO supervision mechanism, he said. China has firmly reiterated its opposition to protectionism, Chen said, noting that China's measures taken since the crisis are considered positive by both WTO Director General Pascal Lamy and EU Trade Commissioner Catherine Ashton. China's economic stimulus measures complied with the WTO rules, he said. Chen also said the Doha round trade talks are of great significance in promoting the development of the multilateral trade system and a successful deal would strongly promote global economic growth. History over the past century has proved that trade grows faster than economy, and it is trade that pushes forward economic growth, he said. Chen urged flexibility by major countries to push forward the Doha negotiations. "With joint efforts by various parties, we remain optimistic about the outcome of the Doha round talks," he said.
NEW YORK, March 1 (Xinhua) -- Leaders of some Chinese-American communities and a Chinese-language newspaper on Sunday lauded Premier Wen Jiabao's online chat with netizens in Beijing a day earlier. Wen's online chat with netizens shows that the top leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC) is paying ever closer attention to public opinion, said Steven Wong, acting chairman of the United Federation of Chinese Associations. Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao holds an online chat with netizens jointly hosted by the central government website and Xinhua website in Beijing, China, Feb. 28, 2009. Premier Wen rushed to the affected areas immediately after the snow disaster in China's south and the devastating earthquake in the southwest last year to comfort survivors, winning him widespread respect, Wong said. On the eve of the opening of the annual sessions of the National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Wen held direct dialogue with netizens to solicit opinions and suggestions from the public, which is not only a boost to public morale, but is also conducive to solving problems in society at large, he said. Liu Jianmin, chairman of the Greater Los Angeles Area Federation of Promoting China's Unification, said Wen's online chat with Chinese netizens is all the more meaningful as it was held on the eve of the annual meetings of the national legislature and the top advisory body. Through direct dialogue with vast numbers of netizens, the Chinese leaders could have a deeper understanding of what the ordinary people have in their minds.
