Former national security adviser Susan Rice condemned a Chinese diplomat as "a racist disgrace" following incendiary tweets by the envoy.
In an apparent attempt to deflect international criticism of China's mass detention of Muslims and other religious minorities in the Xinjiang province, Lijian Zhao wrote a series of tweets this weekend that were seemingly meant to highlight flaws in the United States, including racism, gun violence and income inequality. Zhao referenced a joint statement signed by 22 countries last week in condemnation of China's moves in Xinjiang, where up to two million people have reportedly been detained in the camps and subjected to torture and forced re-education. He also mentioned a separate joint statement from 37 countries -- many of which with their own shaky human rights records -- which commended China for its "remarkable achievements in the field of human rights." He called this letter a "big slap on the face of US &its western cohorts."
In two of those tweets -- which have since been deleted -- the deputy chief of mission in Islamabad wrote that if "you're in Washington, D.C., you know the white never go" to the southeastern part of the city "because it's an area for the black & Latin."
Rice fired back at the message on Twitter, not only calling Zhao "a racist disgrace" but saying that he was "shockingly ignorant too." The former national security adviser seemed to incorrectly identify Zhao as posted in the United States. She noted that 'in normal times," the Chinese diplomat would be declared a persona non grata -- the top form of rebuke for a diplomat -- over the tweeted comments about the nation's capital.

"To label someone who speak the truth that you don't want to hear a racist, is disgraceful & disgusting," he wrote. CNN has reached out to the Chinese Foreign Ministry for further comment.
Susan Rice, the professional liar, says ...
Sad when you have to defend a Communist diplomat, probably a spy and enemy of our nation, because he is right...
and our racist congresswoman is wrong :(
Steamed Rice!
My daughter lived in and was married in DC. Of course we were all told to stay out of Southeastern DC.
FOSR
Asians are notoriously racist.
I have some Amish ladyfinger microwave popcorn. It’s SHOWTIME!
Odd that she didn’t call him a liar, no?
We hear you Susan Lice.
Where was this demon when Christians were being crucified in Iraq and Syria?
Even sadder, she’s probably more of a communist than he is.
Flied Lice.
There are things you can say in Communist China that are censored in America . . . .
It is clear that anyone Susan doesn’t like is a racist. Pretty soon anytime a Democrat plays the race card, no one will listen.
Frankly I’d be all for rounding up all the Chinese from DC and the suburbs. I know DAMN well all of them are not legal.
An honest Chinaman.
#4. Or, “In Red China, they eat Rice”.
How is this different than what every Democrat says. Are they racist?
“In an apparent attempt to deflect international criticism of China’s mass detention of Muslims and other religious minorities in the Xinjiang province, Lijian Zhao wrote a series of tweets this weekend that were seemingly meant to highlight flaws in the United States, including racism, gun violence and income inequality.”
Actually there are some very nice areas of SW. it’s just when when you come from downtown NW you have to cross the bad part first. I had a job where I had to canvas large parts of DC. I only go there for work now because otherwise I’m always carrying.
