Beijing’s report, gathered from a variety of U.S. and international news sources, lambastes an increase in violent crime in America, saying it poses a serious threat to its people’s lives, liberty and personal security. It cites an FBI report on crime statistics released last year that said violent crime had increased by 1.9 percent from 2005 to 2006, with 1.41 million cases reported nationwide. The Chinese report cited news articles saying that 30,000 people die in the U.S. from gunshot wounds every year and gun killings have climbed 13 percent since 2002. It noted that the United States has the largest prison system in the world, with the highest inmates-to-population ratio. The report cited police brutality and other instances where law enforcement officials violated civil rights. It said racial discrimination became an incurable illness of American society. “African and Latin American people are lowest layer of American society. US Census Statistics show that incomes of Afro-Americans equal to 61 per cent of white people incomes a year”. Unemployment rate is also highest among African and Latin American people than whites. It also said workers’ rights to unionize have been restricted in the United States, with union membership dropping in 2006. The report also lambasted the U.S. for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan."The invasion of Iraq by U.S. troops has produced the biggest human rights tragedy and the greatest humanitarian disaster in modern world," the Chinese report said. It said more than 600 thousands civilians were killed during Iraq campaign since 2003. US soldiers are killing averagely 450 people a day in Iraq. 700 Afghans and 180 Iraqis are held in the US prisons without court decision.
