China has lashed out against U.S. criticism of its human rights record, saying racial discrimination and crime were still rife in the United States and prisoners were being abused at U.S.-run detention centers abroad. Blacks are given heavier criminal penalties, arrested more frequently and are more likely to be targeted for hate crimes. It also criticized American troops for brutality at prisons in Iraq and the detention camp for terror suspects at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The response came one day after the State Department said the Chinese government's human rights record 'remained poor, and the government continued to commit numerous and serious abuses.' The US report said there was increased repression in 2005, with a trend toward 'increased harassment, detention, and imprisonment' of people seen as threats to the Chinese government.
