From Radio Free Asia, “Activists Slam China's Human Rights Record Amid UN Review”:

"The Chinese are in the best position to know the situation of human rights in China," the delegation told the Council in its closing comments on Tuesday.

But HRIC said Beijing was trying to present itself as one with the Chinese people.
