Redirected from China's Assessment of the Human Rights Record of the United States
After the terrorist attack of September 11, 2001 Terrorist Attack, pressure from the government of the United States for more surveillance of the general population has led to widespread criticism of the government's violation of citizens' privacy and of control measures that do not respect the victim's dignity.
The documents attempt to blunt U.S. criticism of China by pointing out both perceived violations of rights and social problems such as crime and poverty. The reports do not significantly criticize the United States for violating freedom of speech or freedom of the press. They do charge that the United States political system is undemocratic (citing the 2000 US presidential election as an example), that the justice system is racially biased and excessive, that workers have little protection against corporate abuse, and that the US "sabotage the world's peace and stability" through international military actions. They further detail the economic and social situation of the US and describe it as a human rights violation, thereby using an expanded definition of human rights.
