China raps US meddling

China's Foreign Ministry Spokesman Hong Lei 

urged Washington to focus on improving its own human rights conditions, 

saying, "We advise the US side to reflect on its own human rights issues and not to position itself as a preacher of human rights," the state-funded BBC reports.

China called the US-led wars in Afghanistan and Iraq the explicit examples of America's violation of human rights.

"[The US should] stop using the issue of human rights reports to interfere in other countries' internal affairs," the Chinese politician added.
