Too much finger pointing!!

Beijing Propaganda 2008

The US are typically going around pointing the finger at everyone for human-rights abuses, when the US has a dismal human-rights record.

The Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang said, and very nicely, I thought,

"…that the U.S. desist from posing as a 'defender of human rights' and pay more attention to the United States' own human rights record. Stop exercising double standards in human rights issues and wrongly meddling in the internal affairs of other countries."

But then on the other side of things, China does have a terrible human-rights record and is complaining that people stop critizing them pre-Olympic games.

I agree criticism is not helpful, but my main complaint is why has this murderous regime in China been allowed to host the Olympics in the first place? Oh, I forgot, a lot of 'greasing' goes on when bidding to get the games in your country. Silly me.
