Chins raps US-based rights report, says HRW instigating riots

China has denounced US-based reports accusing Beijing of posing a “global threat to human rights,” saying they have provided a distorted view of the truth from the country.

 “Their China-related remarks and China-related reports have always ignored facts and confused right and wrong. There is no objectivity at all. So it is not worth refuting at all,” said China's Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang on Wednesday.

China rejects claims of mistreating Uighurs, saying it has been taking anti-terrorism measures against separatists who are seeking to join Takfiri outfits such as al-Qaeda.

Geng said, “The current human rights situation in China is at its best period in history."

"China has always guaranteed freedom of speech to its citizens in accordance with the Constitution as well," he said.
