China on Thursday published a report on the human rights situation in the United States.
The report, titled "Human Rights Record of the United States in 2018", was released by the Information Office of the State Council in response to the "2018 Country Reports on Human Rights Practices" issued by the U.S. State Department on Wednesday.
Written in nearly 12,000 Chinese characters, the report uses solid facts and data to indicate that the U.S. government, a self-styled "human rights defender", has a human rights record that is flawed and lackluster, and practices double standard in human rights issues.
The report cites human rights problems in the United States in various human right-related aspects, including the serious trampling on citizens' civil rights, the money-oriented politics, the widening rich-poor divide, the worsening racial and gender discriminations, the disturbing child safety issues, the migrant tragedies and the unpopular unilateralism.
The report says that gun violence in the United States is a serious threat. In 2018, a total of 57,103 gun cases occurred in the U.S., resulting in 14,717 deaths. Gun violence has led to a reduction in life expectancy of nearly 2.5 years for American people.
According to the report, religious intolerance is also rampant in the U.S. In the 2018 U.S. midterm elections, anti-Muslim rhetoric rose sharply. Survey shows that conspiracy theories against Muslims are increasingly entering the country's political mainstream.
Network monitoring is commonplace in U.S. The U.S. government's "Prism" project runs 24 hours a day, monitoring citizens' emails and Internet calls without authorization.
The report also says that money is controlling politics in the U.S. The 2018 midterm elections cost a total of 5.2 billion U.S. dollars, the most expensive ever.
On the poor-rich divide, the report says that the U.S. has become the Western country with the most serious rich and poor divide. While one percent wealthiest people in the country possess 38.6 percent of national wealth, 18.5 million people live in extreme poverty.
The report notes that the rate of hate crimes in the U.S. has reached a record high; the living conditions of African Americans are worrisome; guns put campuses under endless threat; females are deeply concerned by sexual harassment and sexual aggression, and the U.S. immigration policy has forced people to separate with their families.
The report also points out that the U.S. has withdrawn from the UN Human Rights Council. An article published in The Atlantic argued that the intention of the move is to avoid accusations of human rights violations.
