China says U.S. rights report filled with 'ideological prejudice'
BEIJING - Citing poor media freedoms, racism and “ideological prejudice”, China hit back on Thursday in unusually strong terms after the U.S. State Department slammed China’s rights record, including equating abuses on its Muslim minorities with the 1930s.
Michael Kozak, the head of the State Department’s human rights and democracy bureau, said mistreatment of China’s Muslim minorities in the Xinjiang region was like hadn’t been seen “since the 1930s”, apparently referring to the policies of persecution of Hitler’s Germany and Stalin’s Soviet Union. Adding to Beijing’s strong push-back, the Chinese government on Thursday issued its annual rebuttal to criticism from Washington about China’s human rights record.
“The U.S. government continues to publicly and fiercely accuse the media and journalists of creating ‘fake news’ and creating an atmosphere of intimidation and hostility,” the report said. China’s report cited reports by foreign news organizations, including Reuters, the BBC, Newsweek and the Washington Post, for evidence of rights abuses in the United States.
