US report on human rights 'shows Cold War mentality'

The United States is adopting a "Cold War mentality" by pointing its finger groundlessly at the human rights situations in other countries, according to a report published by the Information Office of the State Council yesterday.

The document, The Human Rights Record of the United States in 2006, is Beijing's annual rebuttal eight consecutive years to Washington's assessment of global human rights published on Tuesday, which routinely singles out China as one of the world's worst violators.

The 15,000-Chinese-character report uses a lot of evidence to demonstrate the serious rights violations on US soil.
