BEIJING (AP) - China lashed out Thursday at a U.S. report critical of its human rights record, accusing Washington of causing the modern world's "biggest human rights tragedy" in Iraq and of hypocrisy for passing judgment on other nations.
China's State Council, or cabinet, said the U.S. record on human rights was "tattered and shocking" and criticized America for its violent crimes, large prison population and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"The invasion of Iraq by U.S. troops has produced the biggest human rights tragedy and the greatest humanitarian disaster in the modern world," the council said in its report.
