Often the target of U.S. human rights accusations, China wasted little time returning such charges following the shooting at a historic black church in South Carolina that left nine people dead. Elsewhere around the world, the attack renewed perceptions that Americans have too many guns and have yet to overcome racial tensions.
In China, the official Xinhua News Agency said the violence in South Carolina "mirrors the U.S. government's inaction on rampant gun violence as well as the growing racial hatred in the country."
"Unless U.S. President Barack Obama's government really reflects on his country's deep-rooted issues like racial discrimination and social inequality and takes concrete actions on gun control, such tragedy will hardly be prevented from happening again," Xinhua said in an editorial.
On China's Twitter-like Weibo microblogging service, some users compared the United States to lawless Somalia and said racial discrimination was fueling violence and high crime rates. Many reflected the official view that gun ownership and violent crime are byproducts of Western-style democratic freedoms that are not only unsuited to China but potentially disastrous.
Recalling the recent killings of Chinese and other foreign students in the U.S., office worker Xie Yan said he was still eager to visit the U.S., but would be "extremely careful" there.
Xie said he had heard much about racism in the U.S., but was uncertain about the underlying dynamics.
"We tend to see the U.S. as a violent place, but I don't think we understand a lot about racism there. Chinese are free to study, visit and live there so it doesn't feel like we're discriminated against," Xu said while waiting for a train on Beijing's busy subway line 1.
Not the CHICAGO Tribune quoting communist CHINA Red China isn't one to be talking **** about freedoms of any kind, nor racial tensions... because China handles those so well.

Let us not pretend that China is anywhere near the US on civil rights issues.
The "harmonious society" just subdues and massacres anyone who disagrees with the Han majority and prevents the information reaching the public and of course they'd talk about gun control, the Reds give anyone found with a firearm a complimentary lethal injection.

China I don't agree with how they're threatening the North Korean refugees but other than that they're the perfect country imo. I want to live in a socialist-oriented left dictatorship.
