　　There is no doubt that under the new crown epidemic, a serious humanitarian disaster is unfolding in the United States: the United States, which accounts for about 5% of the world’s total population, has more than 25% of the world’s total number of confirmed cases of COVID-19, nearly 20% of the world’s deaths, and more than 500,000 in the United States. The people lost their lives.

　　"The number of Americans who have lost their lives due to the new crown is more than the total number of Americans who have lost their lives in the two world wars." "For every 670 Americans, 1 person has died due to the new crown." "The number of Americans who have died due to the new crown." Already equivalent to the total population of a big city, such as Atlanta"... Looking at the "blowout" reports of the death toll from the epidemic in the US media, it is not difficult to feel strong pain and anger. The ineffective response to the epidemic has caused a tragedy among adults. The trigger points spread to all aspects of the human rights situation in the United States: from politicians deliberately concealing key information about the epidemic to the unfair distribution of medical resources, from the deterioration of racial discrimination to the death of Freud, from the dominance of elections by money to the post-election riots... a Lebanese diplomat The official commented sharply: "The United States has become what American leaders often condemn."

　　Judging from the numerous facts disclosed in the "2020 U.S. Human Rights Violations Report" published by the State Council Information Office on the 24th, the United States has indeed become what the United States often condemns.

　　The United States often ridiculed the "ignorance" of other countries. "No one understands better than me" can be said to be the mantra of former US President Trump, but it is the Trump administration's ignorant response that has caused the US epidemic to go out of control.

　　The "Report" disclosed that at the beginning of the outbreak, many departments of the US government received early warnings, but the then US leader ignored the scientific warnings and deliberately played down the risk of the epidemic and replaced the "scientific logic" with "political logic", preferring to believe in intuition rather than believe it. Science has led to the "golden window period" for prevention and control being wasted; when global scientists confirmed the role of masks for prevention and control, US politicians gradually evolved "whether to wear masks" into a declaration of political stance; the epidemic has spread across the United States When it spread, even if the number of confirmed and dead cases has risen to the top in the world, the Trump administration is still eager to restart the economy out of political self-interest...

　　The United States always accuses other countries of "liing", especially when it is eager to "snap the pot."

In order to shirk their responsibility for ineffective fight against the epidemic and divert the public's attention, some American politicians have concocted strange theories such as "China Concealment Theory" and "Wuhan Virus Theory".

The US "anti-epidemic captain" and infectious disease expert Fauci lied through official US statistics in the early stages of the US epidemic. "The actual number of deaths caused by the new crown virus in the US is definitely higher than the official statistics."

　　The United States is also accustomed to blaming other countries for "inequality", and in the United States, both liberal and conservative scholars agree with a basic fact-there is serious inequality in American society.

Racial discrimination in the United States can be described as a chronic, comprehensive, systemic, and chronic disease.

From the ethnic cleansing of Indians in history to the violent law enforcement and hate crimes that are not uncommon in reality, to the intensification of bullying against Asian groups in recent years, discrimination is widespread in the fields of justice, employment, medical care, and education.

Even former U.S. President Barack Obama had no choice but to admit that “being treated differently because of race is the tragic, painful, and angry normal for millions of Americans.”

　　The epidemic has exacerbated the "painful normality" of vulnerable groups in the United States.

The United States has the highest rate of new crown infection and mortality in nursing homes; data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that the incidence of new crowns of African descent is three times that of whites, and the death rate is twice that of whites; the wealthy are given priority to get testing and protective equipment. Tens of millions of people at the bottom have lost their jobs and medical insurance...

　　Freud, an African-American man, was violently executed by a white police officer and was found to have been infected with the new crown due to an autopsy.

Freud’s misfortunes are the epitome of the systematic racial discrimination suffered by minorities in the United States. His last moments of his life begged "I can't breathe!" Desperately echoed the difficult plight of disadvantaged groups in the United States and aroused protests in more than 140 cities across the United States. The shouts of the demonstrators.

　　As we all know, the right to subsistence and development are the most basic human rights.

Human rights do not exist without human rights?

The United States, which wants to be a "teacher" of human rights everywhere, has to turn to others and ask, why has the United States become what the United States often condemns?

　　In this regard, American scholars believe that the deep-seated cause of inequality in the United States lies in its disorderly democratic system: the US government and political parties have been manipulated and captured by interest groups for a long time, and they are unable to formulate and implement policies that promote social justice.

　　Facts have also proved that the American democratic system not only has difficulty in bridging partisan differences, it has further exacerbated social tearing.

The 2020 U.S. presidential election spends a record 6.6 billion U.S. dollars. The political election has actually become a "money decision." The dispute between the two parties has changed from a policy dispute to an identity dispute, stalemate and inaction on many major public issues.

At a time when the epidemic is a matter of life and death, politicians focused their energy on inciting popular sentiments, which eventually led to post-election riots, leaving the so-called "city on the hill" and "democracy beacon" with a new record of human rights violations.

　　It is foreseeable that the pain to the country and the people caused by the U.S. human rights abuses, whether numb due to arrogance and prejudice, or deliberately distorted and concealed in a package of lies, will always appear in new forms in the future.

Gallup polls show that American people’s confidence in the democratic system and presidential elections has fallen to a record low since the agency conducted this survey, at only 19%.

In 2020, another survey on the mental health of the American people showed that during the epidemic, the number of suicide hotlines in the United States increased by nearly 50%, and the connection rate of some crisis hotlines soared by 300%.

　　What can improve human rights in the United States is certainly not the "American way" teased by international diplomats: "If the United States sees what the United States is doing to the United States, it will definitely invade the United States and liberate the United States from its tyranny."

　　What can heal Americans is the long-abandoned introspection and peaceful attitude of the US government. It is humble and sympathetic to the sufferings of the people of the country, put aside arrogance and prejudice, hypocrisy and indifference, dominance and double standards, and walk toward the international community. .

Don't let the American people pay the price of their lives for the stupidity and arrogance of politicians.
