China just published its annual Report on Human Rights Violations in the United States.
The U.S. constantly tells China what to do and how to do it, so it's only fair China gives some advice back!
A short 🧵 of the human rights low-lights in the Land of the Free last year...
▶️Divide between rich and poor widened
Last year, economic and social inequalities in the U.S. worsened, with the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer. Over 40 million Americans were living in poverty, and 700,000 were homeless.
On top of that, 13.5% of U.S. households face food insecurity, and 13.8 million kids lived in families that didn't have enough food on the table.
▶️Drugs, guns and cops continued to kill
More than 100,000 people in the U.S. died from drug overdose. More than 1,400 children died from gunshot, and 1,300 died at the hands of police.
African Americans were three times more likely to be shot dead by police.
▶️Racial inequality continued
The United Nations Human Rights Council said racism in the U.S. persists "from cradle to grave."
The Los Angeles Times reported that Native Americans have the highest mortality rates and the lowest life expectancy of any racial group in the U.S., and added that the disparity is not owing to genetic factors.
Asian Americans continue to face systemic discrimination in various aspects.
▶️Women and children helpless
The U.S. has not ratified the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, and is the only UN member state that has refused to ratify the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
About 40% of women said they have experienced sexual harassment in the workplace.
The protection of children's right to life and health is inadequate. The U.S. sees 5 infant deaths per 1,000 live births, fare exceeding the rates of other high-income countries.
▶️American hegemony steps on human rights
The U.S. has long pursued hegemony and unilateralism. Washington, DC has repeatedly trampled on int'l law and the fundamental norms of global relations, violated human rights in other countries, and posed a grave threat to global peace, security and development.
The U.S. has been serving as an accomplice to the genocide in Gaza.
Their excessive use of unilateral sanctions is fueling humanitarian crises, negatively affecting the lives of billions across the globe.
