China critical of US racial tensions and police brutality in human rights report

China has strongly criticised what it called America's "terrible human rights problems" in its annual report on rights abuses in the United States, citing police brutality, high levels of incarceration, racial prejudice and money politics.

The report issued by the Information Office of the State Council is a response to the US State Department's yearly report on human rights around the world, that said repression and coercion of those involved in civil and political rights in China remained "severe".
