Simple...to the point...utterly predictable...Trump is making it so easy for China to look like a stand up world leader.

BEIJING (Reuters) - China expressed regret on Wednesday over a U.S. decision to withdraw from the U.N. Human Rights Council, with state media saying the image of the United States as a defender of rights was “on the verge of collapse”.

“China expresses regret at the U.S. decision to withdraw from the U.N. Human Rights Council,” foreign ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said at a regular briefing.

“China will continue, working with all sides, to make its contribution to the healthy development of human rights around the world via constructive dialogue and cooperation,” he added.

Asked about U.S. criticism of China’s rights record, Geng said the United States was ignoring the facts and that anyone who was without prejudice could see the enormous progress China had made on rights.

The official publication of China’s top anti-graft watchdog said in a commentary on Wednesday the U.S. decision to leave the council “has put the American peoples’ boastful image of being a defender of human rights on the verge of collapse”.

The separation of immigrant families on the U.S.-Mexico border showed the hypocrisy of the United States and that it “cannot and should not” criticize other countries’ rights record, it said.

We withdrew from the UN Human Rights Council....what are we doing in its stead??

What plan did our UN Ambassador put forth yesterday as a world alternative to the UN Human Rights Commission? What program is the US putting in place to assert our leadership position as it relates to human rights?

Nothing.

Trump withdraws from everything...and has nothing...not a single alternative idea, proposal or concept to replace whatever thing he decides he wants to destroy on a given day.

What about this don't you people understand? Trump wants to exit this council...fine...do it the proper way. Propose changes to the UN Human Rights Council....propose an alternative body run by the US. Do something other than just withdraw.

Long past time that we withdrew from that charade. Only fools like Tranny can't see what a farce it was.

The U.S. needs to withdraw completely and evict the U.N..

They've been pointless for thirty years.

The only thing the UN is adept at is spending OPM. We fund 20% annually while they continually blame us for global problems. We need to get out and evict them. The money we spend could be much better managed and distributed by us. They are corrupt, unaccountable and opaque.

Most nations in the U.N. don't belong there.

There should have been a "minimum level of civilization clause."

Since the US has proposed many changes to the way the UN HRC does it's work and who is on it, under many presidents, it seems that has already been done.

What would the enforcement mechanisms be for a US-run body? Are you suggesting the US is the only arbiter or human rights?

Other than bad suggestions, what suggestions do you have for our government? If met Haley on the street and she asked you, what would you tell her?

That's an easy one.
Tranny would say "Trump is incompetent and unfit"

It's all she's got 24/7.

What has the UN done for Human Rights in Africa, the Middle east, Venezuela, Cuba, the Ukraine or even for the Palestinians they love so much.
What have they ever accomplished other than spending the money we send them, and telling us the most free country inn the world what we are doing wrong.

I realize it's difficult to pay attention to world events while viewing said world through your navel, but you know China isn't exactly the gold standard when it comes to upholding human rights don't you? Nod your head, let's hear something rattle.
