it said.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;There were no guarantees of political rights.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>The US regularly accuses China of ignoring human rights - its own annual report on human rights in almost 200 countries was released last week.<\/p>\n<p>The US report said Chinese civil society groups suffered &quot;repression and coercion&quot; and accused Beijing of curtailing freedoms in Hong Kong and Macau.<\/p>\n<figure>                                                                                                       Image copyright                  Getty Images<figcaption>Image caption                                      The ugly US election race was seen as a poor ad for democracy by Beijing                              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>As well as sharp criticisms of American democracy, Beijing&#039;s report - which drew heavily on US media coverage - also highlighted cases of police violence and racism.<\/p>\n<p>It accused the US of &quot;wielding &#039;the baton of human rights&#039;&quot; while &quot;paying no attention to its own terrible human rights problems&quot;.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;With the gunshots lingering in people&#039;s ears behind the Statue of Liberty, worsening racial discrimination and the election farce dominated by money politics, the self-proclaimed human rights defender has exposed its human rights &#039;myth&#039; with its own deeds,&quot; it said.<\/p>\n<p>Beijing strictly curtails freedom of speech and is frequently criticised for arbitrary detentions, official brutality, widespread corruption, a lack of transparency, a pliant judiciary and little in the way of democracy.<\/p>\n<p>It is also extremely sensitive to criticism and has cracked down on domestic critics.<\/p>\n<p><a rel='nofollow' href=http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/world-asia-china-39227384 target=\"_blank\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Image copyright Getty ImagesImage caption US police violence was sharply criticised in the report An annual report by China on human rights in the US has accused it of corruption,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":10335,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10334","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-english"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/freeonlinetranslators.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10334","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/freeonlinetranslators.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/freeonlinetranslators.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/freeonlinetranslators.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/freeonlinetranslators.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10334"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/freeonlinetranslators.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10334\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/freeonlinetranslators.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10335"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/freeonlinetranslators.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10334"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/freeonlinetranslators.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10334"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/freeonlinetranslators.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10334"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
