China attacks U.S. as 'moneybag' democracy
BEIJING - Condemning the United States as a "moneybag democracy," Beijing
on Tuesday
took a swipe in the back-and-forth struggle with Washington over China’s
bleak human
rights record. The United States responded that it was "the world’s
champion of human rights" and needed no lecture from an authoritarian
state. In a commentary by the
official Xinhua News Agency, China criticized the United States for
favoring the rich, breeding violence and poorly protecting women,
minorities and children.
