China's Tit-For-Tat with the Chimp
China Takes Tit-For-Tat Swipe at U.S. on Rights
http://today.reuters.com/news/newsArticle.aspx?type=politicsNews&storyID=2005-03-03T083949Z_01_PEK221848_RTRIDST_0_POLITICS-RIGHTS-CHINA-USA-DC.XML

BEIJING (Reuters) - China took a tit-for-tat swipe at the United States on Thursday for abusing Iraqi prisoners of war and other human rights violations in a report released days after Washington criticized China's rights record.

The State Department accused China in its annual human rights report on Monday of using the global war against terrorism to crack down on peaceful opponents of its rule in Muslim Xinjiang and of committing persistent rights abuses in 2004

China's State Council, or cabinet, issued its own report for the sixth year in a row, citing atrocities by U.S. troops against Iraqi prisoners of war which "exposed the dark side" of the human rights record of the United States.

"The double standards of the United States on human rights and its exercise of hegemonism and power politics under the pretext of promoting human rights will certainly put itself in an isolated and passive position and beget opposition from all just members of the international community," it added.

1. sounds like a few contries are gearing up
for some unification against the U.S. That is scary but I think it's the way things are going right now.
Russia, China, North Korea, and how many others have already told us to take a step back?
