China Says U.S. Distorts Facts in Report on Rights; POLS 366

China was recently upset by the State Department's report on global rights which stated that China was actually getting worse. Chinese officials said that the report distorted facts and was "an America pretext for interfering in the domestic affairs of other nations." Although China's response was quite similar as it was a year ago to the Bush Administration's findings on human rights in the nation, this situation shows some resentment between the two superpowers. President Obama's Administration is just getting started, and we do not need to hinder relations with China.
