Report on US human rights violations
美国侵犯人权报告发布

China's State Council Information Office on Wednesday issued the Report on Human Rights Violations in the United States in 2020. The report said Washington's incompetent pandemic containment led to tragic outcomes and that American democracy disorder triggered political chaos. Ethnic minorities suffered racial discrimination, and continuous social unrest threatened public security in the US, it said. 
国务院新闻办公室3月24日发表《2020年美国侵犯人权报告》。报告指出，美国政府应对疫情不力造成惨重后果，美式民主失序引发政治乱象，种族歧视恶化少数族裔处境，社会持续动荡威胁公众安全。

The report also drew attention to the growing polarization between the rich and the poor that aggravated social inequality in America. The US trampling on international rules resulted in humanitarian disasters, it added. People of color faced an even greater threat of unemployment, the report said. Figures released by the US Department of Labor in September showed the jobless rate for black people are almost double the white population. 
报告指出，美国社会贫富日益分化加剧了社会不公，美政府践踏国际规则造成了人道灾难。报告称，有色人种面临更严重的失业威胁。美国劳工部2020年9月发布的数据显示，非洲裔的失业率比白人高出近一倍。种族间的不平等进一步加剧。

Inequality between races worsened in the US, said the report, citing statistics that showed the median white household has 41 times more wealth than the median black family and 22 times more than the median Latino family.
数据显示，白人家庭的财富中位数是非洲裔的42倍，是拉美裔的23倍。
