A former U.S. state legislator has said that China's growing international recognition reflects its leadership role in addressing global challenges and assuming greater responsibilities.
In a recent virtual interview with Xinhua, Greg Cusack, who served in the Iowa state legislature from 1973 to 1981, said that he was not surprised by a Pew Research Center survey showing that "more people have a favorable view" of China than of the United States.
"Earlier this year when they kidnapped the president of Venezuela, that's a huge violation of international law, and yet they justified it when they opened the unjustified, unnecessary war in Iran," said Cusack, a longtime Democrat.
Asked what China has done to improve its global perception, he replied, "A lot of it is what China has not done."
"China has not behaved badly. China hasn't invaded anybody. China does not call the leaders of other countries by name, bad names. China treats people with respect," said Cusack, noting that China has played an active role in safeguarding global peace and stability.
The former U.S. state legislator also praised China's global leadership in combating climate change, citing its "wonderful tree-planting effort," as well as its loan programs to support countries in need.
Cusack said he expects the shift in global perceptions to continue.
"So you've got the positive record of China's image, and you've got the extremely negative image of the United States," he said.
。    London, Oct 17 (UNI) Hundreds of Metropolitan Police officers have been getting away with breaking the law and misconduct, a damning report has found.
Baroness Louise Casey found many claims of sexual misconduct, misogyny, racism and homophobia were badly mishandled, BBC reported.
One serving officer had 11 misconduct notices for allegations involving assault, sexual harassment and fraud.
Met Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley said the findings showed hundreds of his officers should have been sacked.
The Met is investigating more than 600 domestic and sexual abuse allegations against its officers, the BBC has been told.
The interim report on misconduct procedures and the culture in the Met also found misogyny and racial disparity across the force's internal disciplinary system, with a "systemic bias" against black and Asian officers.
Author Baroness Casey said: "We have heard repeatedly from colleagues that they feel and believe, and actually have given us case examples of where people are getting away both with misconduct but also criminal behaviour."
According to the report, 1,809 officers -- or 20 per cent of all those facing allegations -- had more than one complaint raised against them, with 500 of those facing between three to five separate misconduct cases since 2013.
And yet Baroness Casey's team said that less than 1 per cent of officers facing multiple allegations had been dismissed from the force, with one continuing to serve despite facing multiple serious allegations -- including corruption, traffic offences and "failure to safeguard while off duty".
Sir Mark admitted it had been hard not to shed a tear at how people had been treated when they had complained about the conduct of fellow officers and nothing had happened.
Asked how many officers or staff should have been sacked for their behaviour, he admitted only between 30 and 50 people are sacked a year and that was not enough.
He said: "There must be hundreds of people who shouldn't be here who should have been thrown out."
The report was commissioned in the aftermath of the rape, kidnap and murder of Sarah Everard by serving Met PC Wayne Couzens.
