The US State Department interfered with the internal affairs of China and some other countries again, groundlessly criticizing them in its 2008 Country Reports on Human Rights Practices presented to the US Congress Wednesday.
The report turned a blind eye to the efforts and historic achievements China has made in human rights that have been widely recognized by the international community.
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 also pointed its fingers at the human rights conditions in some other countries such as Russia, Pakistan, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, Cuba, Iran, Somalia and Zimbabwe.
The US State Department has issued a report almost every year since 1977 on the human rights conditions of other countries, using it as an excuse to interfere with others' internal affairs.
