China pushed back against critical U.S. of the situation of the human rights Friday following discussions on the issue, saying that the Chinese people was "most qualified" to speak on the subject and in defending the detention of the artist Ai Weiwei.
The official U.S. leading the talks, said Thursday that he was "deeply concerned" by a crackdown on dissidents and rights advocates in China, and that the friction to prevent the links of the two powers.
Yet China and the United States have many common interests, dealing with the nuclear ambitions of North Korea to maintain the global economic recovery, and spat on the subject of rights appears unlikely to spin out of control.
Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China, in a statement that is restricted by the official news agency Xinhua said that both parties have agreed that "the talks were frank, open and constructive."
"The Chinese side said the Chinese people is most qualified to speak on the situation of China's human rights, and the Chinese judicial organs would continue handle cases according to law," Xinhua quoted the statement as saying.
"The Chinese side said that only thanks to a spirit of equality and mutual respect can the dialogue on human rights advance positive."
China and the State of the United States had a "Exchange in-depth views on the issues on the bilateral cooperation, in United Nations rights field, the rule of law human labour, freedom of expression", said Xinhua.
China has informed the US side "measures and achievements in improving and safeguarding of livelihoods of the people, to advance the construction of democracy and the legal system and democratic development local of the country."
The report makes no mention of specific cases that the United States said that he had raised, including those detained artist AI and missing Teng Biao rights lawyers.
SUSPECTED OF ECONOMIC CRIMES
Stopped at the airport of Beijing on April 3 and is now under investigation on suspicion of economic crimes.
However, the State China Daily published a letter from the Chinese Embassy in London saying IA case had nothing to do with freedom of expression.
"The case of Ai Weiwei, essence, is not a question of human rights, or is it freedom of expression." No one is above the law. As in other countries, acts of violations of the law will be treated by the law, "the Embassy wrote in the letter." printed in the English-language newspaper
The Chinese authorities gave few details of what exactly IA is reviewed for.
Earlier this month, a Hong Kong newspaper under the control of Beijing said police had evidence that he avoided tax.
"China is not the former Soviet Union." "China did not need speakers, who cling to the cold war mentality and follow two weights two measurements in their sermons,", said the letter, written in response to an article in a British newspaper, written by author Salman Rushdie call on China to set have free.
Chinese leaders have become more relentless pressure from the West on human rights issues and said that these complaints are equivalent to an illegitimate interference.
Alarm in Beijing on the dissent increased after overseas Chinese sites in February spread calls for demonstrations across China inspired by the "revolution of Jasmine" anti-authoritarian uprisings throughout the Arab world.
China has imprisoned, detained or placed in dozens of secret informal care of dissidents, the lawyers of human rights and the protesters feared will challenge Communist party rule.
