Clinton embraces role as China's womens' rights 'rabble rouser': (HILLARY GROUP)
Hillary Clinton on Wednesday jumped on an editorial in a state-run Chinese newspaper that said she was a "rabble rouser" over her advocacy of women's rights in China, promising that "they can expect much more of it from me."
Clinton criticized Chinese President Xi Jinxing on Sunday for co-hosting a summit on women's rights at the annual United Nations meeting while restricting women's rights activists in his own country.
"Xi hosting a meeting on women's rights at the UN while persecuting feminists? Shameless. #Freethe20 http://hrc.io/1KDkyFz -H," Clinton tweeted, signing the note with "H" to indicate that the candidate herself, not her campaign, authored the message.
The #Freethe20 campaign refers to 20 women around the world who have been detained over their advocacy of women's rights....
As first lady in 1995, Clinton famously told the United Nations' Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing that "Human rights are women's rights ... and women's rights are human rights," a moment that rocketed her to political celebrity. Since then, she has repeatedly criticized China's record on women's rights, upsetting the Chinese government in April when she called the detention of women activists in China "inexcusable."
