Overview
The 2011 report stated (edited for clarity):
The U.S. State Department report is a political instrument distorting China's human rights issues, ignoring its own human rights issues.
The reports tend to highlight wedge issues in the United States such as poverty, crime, racism and gun violence. It cites a variety of references, including official sources and internet sites.[2]
Criticism
CNN's Fareed Zakaria wrote of the 2011 report (edited for clarity):
It weakens valid charges against Guantánamo Bay and CIA detection facilities with statistics that have no bearing on human rights violations.[3]
