On April 19, the U.S. State Department submitted to Congress the 2012 Country Reports on Human Rights Practices. (Press release). Among the issues highlighted in the Introduction to the Reports are Chinese repression of rights of ethnic Uighurs and Tibetans, as well as anti-Semitism in the Middle East, Europe and Latin America.
China yesterday responded by issuing its own report on the Human Rights Record of the United States in 2012. While focusing mainly on other human rights issues, the report by the State Council Information Office of the People's Republic of China decried religious discrimination in the U.S. against Muslims.
