Refuting severe criticism made by US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on it’s human rights record, China has said that comparing the situation of Middle East to that of China is totally inappropriate.  



"It is inappropriate for anyone to put China on a par with countries in Western Asia and North Africa facing turmoil," Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, Jiang Yu said in a statement issued in direct response to Clinton's comments.


"Any attempts to steer the turmoil in the Middle East towards China and try and change the development path independently chosen by the Chinese people are futile," she added late Friday.


In the interview with The Atlantic magazine, Clinton said of Chinese officials: "They're worried, and they are trying to stop history, which is a fool's errand." "They cannot do it. But they're going to hold it off as long as possible," she added.


Clinton and US President Barack Obama separately raised concerns about human rights with Chinese delegates during a two-day wide-ranging annual dialogue between the two sides held in Washington this week.


She used the term “disappeared” to refer to the arrest of some Chinese lawyers and artists.

Jiang said, “Mentioning China in the same breath as other countries in West Asia and North Africa where volatility and turmoil have occurred recently is inappropriate. Anyone who attempts to bring the Middle East turbulence into China and to change the development road that the Chinese people have chosen for themselves is on a fool's errand.”


Zhou Qi, a senior researcher at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS) told state-run Global Times that Clinton’s remarks were “irresponsible” and “childish.”


A comment from Global Times said:  "The West's indoctrination of human rights has had some effects on some people, who echo the West's vilification of the nation's human rights record. But they are the minority and cannot represent the mainstream."


"These people's voices could be heard in recent years due to the openness and diversification of Chinese society. But that does not mean Western ideology can be accepted by the majority of Chinese people."


Since the latest upheaval in the Middle East, some US politicians seem very optimistic over the prospect of Western-style democracy sweeping the world. As it adopts a different social system, China naturally fails to meet the human rights standards set by the West.
