China on Friday rejected US accusations it is failing to stop human trafficking and said Washington has no right to criticise due to its history of racial discrimination.
Beijing was among 17 governments that were warned Thursday of potential US sanctions over human trafficking, adding to the tension with Washington. Others included Malaysia, Russia and Nicaragua.
바카라We firmly oppose the US unfounded accusations against China based on lies and rumours,바카라 Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said.
He accused Washington of 바카라smearing China바카라 and interfering in its affairs.
The US State Department ranked China among 바카라Tier 3바카라 governments that it said fail to meet minimal standards to stop trafficking. It cited estimates that as many as 25 million people, many of them women and children, are victims worldwide.
바카라The United States is in no position to wield the stick of human rights,바카라 Wang said at a daily briefing.
He cited American mistreatment of Blacks and American Indians and what he said were reports that few people trafficked to the United States for forced labour have been rescued.
바카라What the United States needs is to reflect on and correct its own human rights violations such as genocide, racial discrimination and forced labour,바카라 Wang said.
The 바카라Tier 3바카라 governments in the report were Afghanistan, Algeria, China, Comoros, Cuba, Eritrea, Guinea-Bissau, Iran, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nicaragua, North Korea, Russia, South Sudan, Syria, Turkmenistan and Venezuela.
