The CCTV feature presented this assertion as it outlined the U.S.'s "practice of leaving many of its own problems unsolved while interfering in other countries' internal affairs," Xinhua stated.

Culling from in-depth and extensive media releases from inside and outside the U.S., the TV program revealed the nation's behavior of infringing on the human rights of American citizens from all walks of life.

The documentary also highlighted substantial interviews from human rights experts across China, France, Russia, Canada, Switzerland and even United States.

In the program, CCTV showed that over 560,000 U.S. residents are homeless, with a quarter of this populace registered as minors.

Moreover, a large fraction of women in the U.S. were reported to have been subjected to sexual assault, sexual harassment and discrimination at work, based on media reports.

The feature also noted that in the state of Florida, prime women's prison Lowell Correctional Institution is plagued with reports of sexual abuse, torture and rampant corruption. The prison holds more than 3,000 convicts.

Apart from this, CCTV revealed that 25 percent of teenagers not younger than 15 years old who succumb to injuries die in various shooting incidents.

The documentary also showed that Internet firms in the U.S. are forced by the Federal Bureau of Investigation to give clients' information even with the absence of court approval.

The CCTV program said that the U.S.'s double standard is evident in its practice of invading its citizen's privacy via online surveillance as well as in its drone attacks in Yemen, Pakistan and other nations causing civilian deaths.

Researcher Ji Hong of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences said in the documentary that U.S. regards itself as a nation with the best system and human rights record, thus its high probability of finding fault in other countries.
