China has told the US to end educating on human rights situation, after the state department's annual report on the issue condemned China.
Hong Lei, Foreign Ministry spokesman said the US should focus on its own rights concerns and stop interfering. Chinese government has initiated a huge attack on rebels recently.
Inaugurating the report, US authorities showed great unease over the recent arrest of the artist Ai Weiwei, a blunt critic of the government. Hillary Clinton, US Secretary of State also underlined reports of other scholars and protestors being "illegal detained" in recent weeks.
Mr. Hong said China was pleased to discuss about human rights "on the basis of fairness and communal regard", but added that Beijing "decisively insists" interfering in other country's matters.
"We suggest to the US side to reproduce on its own human rights problems and not to position itself as a priest of human rights," he said.
US should avoid utilizing the issue of human rights reports to impede in other countries' inner affairs." The US state department's annual report condemning China, pursued swiftly by a hard response from Beijing, is now an entrenched diplomatic ritual.
But experts say this year's tit-for-tat replace has been honed by Beijing's raid on dissent.
The US report alleged Beijing of striding up controls on lawyers, protestors, bloggers and journalists.
The Communist rulers were also blamed of tightening directs on civil society and striding up attempts to control the press and internet access.
The Beijing officials also enhanced the use of forced vanishing, house arrest, and custody in illegal "black jails" to chastise activists, petitioners and their families, the US report says.
Some other countries blamed of committing severe rights abuse in the report included Iran, Iraq, Burma, North Korea, the Ivory Coast, Zimbabwe, Ukraine, Russia and Belarus.
