Now They Criticize China, After Hillary Bolts Town After the Hat In Hand Obama Cash Beg

Didn't say a single word while she was in the presence of the leaders of China but this cowardly Obama administration then criticizes the regime when Hillary is back here safely ensconced in Washington. Until we Americans stop going in debt buying their junk we have no rights whatsoever to tell them what's right and what's wrong, none at all.

And especially 5000 miles away when we just had our so called secretary of state who is now Obama's secretary right in their presence who instead of ridiculing their human rights was sending love notes to beg the Chines to pay for Urban liberal organization Porkulus package.

Were I China I would tell America to stfu ....oh wait, they did that already hours after the cowardly criticism lobbed from Washington soon to be renamed Obamatown the way things are going under his power grab.

China's state-run Xinhua news agency hit back at the report, saying the State Department "turned a blind eye to the efforts and historic achievements China has made in human rights."

Take that and then some as they went further pointing out the obvious weak legs we're standing on criticizing them which I'm sure they were assured would be minimal as long as China owns our a**es as they will like never before thanks to Hussein Obama.

US says China rights record worsens:

WASHINGTON (AFP) – The United States charged Wednesday that China's rights record was worsening, triggering anger in Beijing days after the new administration signaled rights would take a back seat with Beijing.

The annual State Department report on human rights also painted a dismal portrait of North Korea and Myanmar, both of which were accused of widespread killings of their own citizens.

The State Department said that China stepped up repression last year in Tibet and Xinjiang, restricting dissent and religious freedom, despite calls for greater openness during the Beijing Olympics in August.

"The government's human rights record remained poor and worsened in some areas," the report said, saying it "deteriorated severely" in Tibet.

The report came days after US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton visited Beijing and said that rights concerns should not hinder cooperation between the countries on issues such as the economic crisis and climate change -- a stance that drew howls of protest from human rights groups.

China's state-run Xinhua news agency hit back at the report, saying the State Department "turned a blind eye to the efforts and historic achievements China has made in human rights."

"It willfully ignored and distorted basic facts, groundlessly assailing China's human rights conditions and making random and irresponsible remarks on China's ethnic, religious and legal systems," it said.

The State Department's annual report has long been an irritant for China, which has hit back with its own account of rights abuses in the United States.

In a departure under President Barack Obama, Clinton said that the United States would also try to uphold human rights in the United States. Obama ordered the closing of the much-criticized Guantanamo Bay detention camp as one of his first acts.

Karen Stewart, the acting assistant secretary of state for democracy, human rights and labor which oversees the report, denied there was any "disconnect" between the critical study and Clinton's remarks on Beijing.

"We -- and in all bilateral relations -- we work to achieve all of our goals and national interests," she said.

"We will continue to express our concern for specific cases and for the overall issues that we would like to see improvements in," she said.

China last year cracked down on major protests in Lhasa in March, the anniversary of the 1959 uprising in which Tibet's spiritual leader the Dalai Lama went into exile.

In addition to the killings during the crackdown, the State Department said China had exposed those detained after the unrest to severe beatings and lengthy deprivation of food, water and sleep.

The report also cited torture of Tibetans who were caught trying to flee into Nepal, saying they endured electric shocks and other abuse.

According to Tibet's government-in-exile, more than 200 Tibetans were killed in last year's crackdown. China is pouring troops into Tibet ahead of next month's 50th anniversary of the failed 1959 uprising.

The State Department also reported severe repression in Xinjiang, an autonomous northwestern region dominated by the Muslim Uighur community, including curbs on religious freedom.

The State Department reserved some of its harshest criticism for North Korea, saying the hardline communist state had an "abysmal" record with prison authorities even killing some babies on birth.

Myanmar also came under heavy fire, with the report saying that the military was "brutally" suppressing its citizens and razing entire villages.

Elsewhere in Asia, the State Department said that human rights in Vietnam remained at an "unsatisfactory" level with police and government corruption and restrictions on political opposition.

Historic US ally Thailand also experienced "numerous human rights abuses" both by pro-government forces and insurgents in the country's Muslim-majority south.
