BEIJING (AFP) - China on Wednesday urged the United States to "correct its ways" after a damning US Senate report detailed use of torture by the CIA.
"China has consistently opposed torture," Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Hong Lei told a regular briefing.
"We believe the US side should reflect upon itself, correct its ways and earnestly respect and abide by the rules of international conventions."
Rights groups say China's own justice system is riddled with abuses and that it is not uncommon for confessions to be extracted through torture.
Beijing says it attaches great importance to human rights and that it carries out detentions in accordance with the law.
In a report that has drawn international calls for criminal prosecution, the US Senate said that CIA torture of Al-Qaeda suspects was far more brutal than acknowledged and failed to produce useful intelligence.
China and the US regularly spar over human rights, with Washington expressing concern over the detention and jailing of prominent rights activists by China's communist authorities.

Yeah, right.. China was behind the advisement of the torture in north Korea and had a hand in the treatment of our men in Vietnam.
No sale Beijing!
ChiCom humor ......
LOL.
Well when one thinks of torture one thinks of chinese torture. But still, it is funny to watch China enjoy a little counter sanctimony.
I expect that the UN is currently reviewing possible sanctions for the U.S..
Thanks frankenfeinstien ....and China I’ll take an eggroll and a bowl of stfu from column b.
Dear China.....Now about that incident in the square.....
The Chinese know damned well what it is the Democrats seek in releasing this manufactured report, and want to be the first on their block to support their goal, and win a prize.

That’s when they hold out for confession — the usual method of execution doesn’t involve trial.
The Chinese only torture their own people.

Dianne Feinstein, you treacherous wench!
That’s what I think.
I can easily see them having this conversation in their politburo (or whatever they call it) meeting:
COMMUNIST 1: “Did you hear about the report regarding American torture?”
COMMUNIST 2: “Yes! I have a great idea-let’s condemn them for torture!”
COMMUNIST 3: “Ha! That’s great! They know full well how we operate, and our pious admonition will cause the top of their capitalist heads to blow off!”
ALL: “HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!”
COMMUNIST 2: “CALL THE MINISTRY OF INFORMATION AND HAVE THEM ISSUE THE CONDEMNATION!”
Thank you democrats, thank you obama, thank you feinstein, thank you idiots who voted for these degenerates....we can finally learn to be responsible citizens of the world by following the hallowed chinese example........this is more than PATHETIC.....it is dangerous to every freedom loving person on Earth and that is no exaggeration at all...FRIGHTENING
