China asks U.S. to stop giving advice and intervention on human rights in the country Tiai Bamboo.
A spokesman for Chinese Foreign Ministry Hong Lei said the United States better focus on rights issues within their own country and stop intervening in other countries.
The announcement on Saturday (9 / 4), after the U.S. State Department issued a report that contains criticism of the routine enforcement of human rights in China.
Recently, Chinese authorities took harsh action against a number of critical circles.
U.S. officials expressed concern over the detention of the artist Ai Weiwei, who is known critical of the government.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton also gave attention to reports about the detention of an intellectual and activist in recent weeks.
Hong said China was willing to discuss human rights issues on the basis of equality and mutual respect, but he added that Beijing refused to interfere in the affairs of other countries.
"We advise the U.S. to reflect human rights conditions in their own country and not put myself as a critic of human rights issues," he said as reported by the BBC, Sunday (10 / 4).
"(USA) must cease to use the reports of human rights issues to interfere in internal affairs of other countries."
The U.S. State Department report criticizing China on human rights issues, because the case bans a number of lawyers, activists, bloggers and journalists.
Communist government was also accused of tightening control over civil society and media and internet access.
Beijing authorities also mentioned the ways of eliminating, under house arrest, and imprisonment to punish activists such as those mentioned in the U.S. report.
Besides China, other countries are also mentioned by the U.S. committing human rights violations are Iran, Iraq, Myanmar, North Korea, Ivory Coast, Zimbabwe, Ukraine, Russia, and Belarus.
