南方人物周刊 (Southern People Weekly, August 6, 2013 中国的人权状况处于历史最好时期,人民生活水平不断提高,公民享受的各项权利达到前所未有的水平。——中国-美国第18次人权对话近日在昆明举行,中方这样强调(354期声音)(“China's human rights situation is in its best period historically. The people's living standards have constantly improved and the rights citizens enjoy are at unprecedented levels”: China emphasized recently at the 18th China – U.S. Human Rights Dialogue in Kunming.)

中方强调:中国的人权状况处于历史最好时期,人民生活水平不断提高,公民享受的各项权利达到前所未有的水平(中美第18次人权对话近日在昆明举行)。【简评】:食品含毒;空气污染;土地重金属超标;蔬菜农药残留;楼歪歪、桥塌塌、地陷陷;马路排水口一次次吃人;妇产科医生成为了贩卖婴儿的人贩子…… (The Chinese side emphasized at the dialogue that China's human rights situation is in its best period in the history, people's living standards have constantly improved, and the rights citizens are enjoying are at the unprecedented levels. (The 18th China-U.S. Human Rights Dialogue held recently in Kunming). My Comments: Food is toxic; air is polluted; land contains heavy metals above standards; vegetables contain residual pesticides; buildings are unstable; bridges collapse; grounds sink; road drainage sucks people in again and again; obstetricians become baby traffickers ...)

这次所谓的人权对话,根本就没有“对”的意思。对美方指出中方的人权问题,中国一概不接招,只是反复声明中国人权历史最好,美国佬只能干瞪眼。他们不懂,人话是对人说的。中方这些人连人话都听不进去,还和他们讲什么人权?(During the so-called human rights dialogue, there was never really an “exchange.” China will not react to the human rights problems pointed out by the U. S., instead it just repeatedly states that China's human rights situation is the best in history, as a result, the Yankees can only look on in despair. They do not understand: dialogue should be done by human beings. Those on the Chinese side never listened to what the people said, why should we talk to them about human rights?)
