HR10: China Hits Back at U.S. Human Rights Report.

BEIJING - China said on Tuesday a U.S. State Department report that accused Beijing of suppressing religious freedom was full of lies and urged Washington not to hold double standard in the war on terrorism. Foreign Ministry Spokesman Kong Quan criticized the United States for turning a blind eye to its own human rights abuses and said Muslim separatists in China's northwestern region of Xinjiang were legitimate targets of the campaign against terror. "This report is full of fabrications," he said. "It confuses right and wrong and attacks China's legal system, ethnic policies and human rights conditions." "The Chinese people and government are strongly dissatisfied with and firmly opposed to it." "We think this is an example of the United States using human rights as a pretext to interfere in other countries' internal affairs," Kong said.

A. Speech event for writer

OSE:
nested-source=w
implicit=true
(This is actually the default annotation for the writer of the sentence, which was added as a zero-span annotation to the beginning of the sentence during preprocessing. Because it is the default, no changes are needed.)

B. Annotations for China

Think about the annotations for China in two parts:

Part 1: "China said on Tuesday a U.S. State Department report that accused Beijing of suppressing religious freedom was full of lies"

(1) Tag an AGENT on 'China' with the following attributes:
id=China
nested-source=w,China
(2) Tag a DS on 'said' with the following attributes:
nested-source=w,China
intensity=high (because of 'full of lies')
expression-intensity=neutral ('said' is neutral)
attitude-link=A1
(3) Tag an ES on 'full of lies' with the following attributes:
nested-source=w,China
polarity=negative
intensity=high

With this private state, China is expressing a negative sentiment toward the U.S. State Department report so the following attitude and target annotations are also needed.

(4) Tag a TARGET on 'a U.S. State Department report' with the following attribute:

id=T1
(5) Tag an ATTITUDE on 'was full of lies' with the following attributes:
id=A1
attitude-type=sentiment-neg
target-link=T1

Part 2: "[China] urged Washington not to hold double standard in the war on terrorism."

The span for 'China' was already tagged as an agent, so that does not need to be done.

(6) Tag a DS on 'urged' with the following attributes:

nested-source=w,China
intensity=medium
expression-intensity=medium
polarity=positive
attitude-link=A2
(7) Tag an ES on 'hold double standard' with the following attributes:
nested-source=w,China
polarity=negative
intensity=medium
(8) Tag a TARGET on 'Washington' with the following attribute:
id=T2
(9) Tag an ATTITUDE on 'urged Washington not to hold double standard' with the following attributes:

HR16: Taiwan Editorial.

On March 4, the US State Department released its annual human rights report. The report is generally quite frank and its wording strong, but it proposes no corrective action. Consolidating the anti-terrorist alliance and expanding the war against terror are overshadowing concerns about human rights. In exchange for support for its war on terror, the US is tacitly agreeing to ignore abuses by other members of the anti-terror coalition.

PNG1: Mutiny rocks PNG as rebels rampage over redundancies.

The Australian Government, which has been the subject of protests in PNG for backing military staff cuts, expressed concern yesterday over the latest developments. "We hope order can be restored and the trouble does not spread,' a spokesman for the Foreign Minister, Alexander Downer, said. "We have obviously been in contact with the Papua New Guinea Government." Australians in the Wewak area have been officially urged by Canberra to "exercise caution". There were local media reports yesterday that about 20 M16 and SLR weapons were taken at the weekend, but the Defence Force said there would have to be a stocktake to determine the number of firearms involved. The National newspaper reported that there were shouts of "Sutim ol ofisas, sutim ol ofisas (shoot the officers, shoot the officers)". "I am very disappointed - the buildings have nothing to do with their demands," Colonel Ur said. "We will sit down and discuss it," Colonel Ur said. "I think there are divisions among the group themselves on their demands." He said some disgruntled soldiers thought others had "gone overboard". Colonel Ur said soldiers with 20 years or more service were generally satisfied with termination packages being offered, but those with fewer years in the military wanted to know what they would be given.

The target for this attitude and the attitude linked to 'said' is a difficult one to mark.
