A Chinese newspaper has compared US presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton to her rival candidate Donald Trump for her tweet saying it is “shameless” for China’s president to preside over a UN conference on gender equality.
Rights activists had criticised China’s co-hosting of Sunday’s UN Women conference because of its detentions of women, including five who spent 37 days in detention this year over their plans to advocate against sexual harassment on public transport.
Clinton tweeted on Sunday: “Xi hosted a meeting on women’s rights at the UN while persecuting feminists? Shameless.”
The Global Times, which often publishes nationalist editorials, wrote on Monday in its Chinese edition that Clinton’s words – which it did not mention – were “vulgar, extremely lacking in manners” and called to mind “big mouth” Trump.

The Communist Party-run paper suggested Clinton was “alarmed and jealous” at Trump’s continuing excellent showing in polls and so had resorted to using his style of language.
The editorial was carried on the websites of other state media, including China Youth Daily and China National Radio.
Trump has accused China of stealing US jobs and called for the cancellation of a state dinner for Xi after a drop in China’s stock markets and a devaluation of its currency led to a tumble of US stocks.

Sunday’s conference was a follow-up to a 1995 UN conference on gender equality in Beijing that Clinton addressed as first lady. She said then: “Human rights are women’s rights and women’s rights are human rights.”
Xi echoed her words on Sunday, telling the conference that was called to push states to make gender equality commitments: “Women’s rights and interests are basic human rights. They must be protected by laws and regulations.”
He did not mention any of the women activists who were held in China, but announced a US$10 million donation to UN Women.
Xi said China would help developing countries produce 100 “health projects” for women and children, finance 100 programmes to send poor girls to school, train 30,000 women from developing countries in China, and provide training opportunities for 100,000 women in other developing countries.
