In response to criticism from the US State Dept regarding human rights abuses in China, the Chinese communist government has issued a reciprocal human rights report critiquing the United States. Specifically the tyrants of Beijing criticized America’s high murder rate and high prison population as a percentage of the overall population.

“The United States has always boasted itself as the model of democracy, and hawked its mode of democracy to the rest of the world, but in fact, American 'democracy' is always one for the wealthy and a 'game for the rich'."

The Chinese, it seems have been receiving talking points from the Democratic National Committee. Hidden in the glaringly one-sided, hypocritical, malicious and false Chinese report, however, is a token of truth. The US does have an exceptionally high murder crime as well as high overall crime rate. This is indicative of cultural failures, systemic in the American experience.

Murders and other crimes, however, are committed by individuals, not the state and while China may criticize the US, China can make no such claim. In China it is the state who commits these abuses, in China it is the state who discriminates, in China it is the state who deprives people of life, liberty and property without due process. These are the human rights abuses from which ordinary Chinese citizens have no defense. China again seeks to distract from the fact that as a dictatorial tyrannical regime, its citizens are really subjects, subjects to the whim of the state and the Chinese communist party. A state, which is fearful of freedom, is a state, which should be feared.
