Official: 'Chinese women are best judges of their rights'

A senior official from President Xi Jinping's delegation in the United States said that it was up to the Chinese people, especially women, to judge the development of women's rights in the country.

"Some individuals or entities take groundless views, or show a lack of understanding," said Li Junhua, director-general of Chinese Foreign Ministry's Department of International Organizations and Conferences.

Li made the remarks in New York in response to claims made about women's rights in China by some people, including Hillary Clinton, who posted her criticism online.
