China hit back at U.S. criticism of its human rights record on Thursday, unveiling its own report detailing what it said were rights abuses in the United States, involving everything from racial discrimination to crime.

The Chinese report, issued by the State Council, or Cabinet, takes aim at U.S. democracy — calling it “a game for the rich” — the high murder rate, domestic wire tapping and detention of Iraqi reporters by U.S. forces in Iraq.

…

Other abuses involved “secret snooping, police abuse, wrong convictions and the highest ratio of people behind bars”, it said.

…

The United States was also a country plagued by murder and the private ownership of guns was widespread, the China report said.

“The unchecked spread of guns has caused incessant murders,” it said, detailing a series of gruesome incidents where people had killed their grandparents, school pupils or church goers.

Woah, forget about Gorbasms. With rhetoric like this we’ll soon be having some serious Jintaogasms on our hands.
