U.S. unrest over the death of a black man in police custody has reversed the usual tide of diplomacy over human rights, as nations stung by American criticism over the years return fire, accusing U.S. authorities of double standards.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying has used Floyd’s dying words — “I can’t breathe” — in a tweet responding to State Department spokeswoman Morgan Ortagus, who criticised China’s move to impose security laws on Hong Kong. “The crime committed against this black man is the same thing the U.S. has been doing against all the world,” he said, citing Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and Vietnam.

“We consider it unacceptable for U.S. law enforcement officials to use special equipment — rubber bullets and tear gas — against media representatives after they have presented their press cards,” Russia’s foreign ministry said in a statement last weekend.

And how do you think those countries would react. No freedom of the press. Check the list you reported. Is that where you want to relocate? “Media Outlets make huge profits from only catering to specific viewers . This helps only them and does not help the country.”

It's not rivalry that take states e people from all around the world to express concern and criticise. It's an applaing situation in a country that evaluate all countries and pass on as freedom and democracy champion

America's rivals? You mean China (detains Uyghurs in 're-education' camps), Iran (executes people on homosexuality charges) and Russia (poisons dissidents with radioactive substances)?

In typical biased fashion Reuters will peddle the US regime largely factless propaganda daily as-is without ever contesting or fact-checking it, but when other nations criticize the US it will challenge the claims or dig dirt on them. QED.

Actions speak louder than words. Trump's actions prove he wants to promote MAJA -- Make America a Joke Already.

China and North Korea would have executed these ppl so give it a break... Ghana executes disabled kids for being disabled... If you dont like US then LEAVE, nobody is forcing you to stay

Yea, it's a sh$t show on steroids right now.

Glad the world is still behind us even after all the damage this administration has done. Guess they do understand we are being held hostage by a maniacal terrorist.

Wut? They don't appreciate the US policy of do what I say not as I do?
