From calling her a “big mouth” to making Monica Lewinsky jokes, China has reacted furiously at US presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s recent comments about China’s record on women’s rights.<\/div>
<\/div>
 <\/div>
Mrs Clinton said in a tweet on Sunday that Chinese President Xi Jinping was “shameless” for hosting a United Nations conference on women’s rights that day.<\/div>

Mr Xi has come under fire for hosting the summit as several women’s rights activists were held earlier this year for planning a demonstration against sexual harassment on public transport.<\/div>

Rights groups say several female human rights activists remain in detention.<\/div>

‘Rabble-rouser’<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
Chinese state media have taken care to cultivate an affable and lovable image of President Xi Jinping. Calling someone “shameless” is also a particularly bad insult in Chinese culture, which abhors “losing face”.<\/div>
 <\/div>
State media on Monday thus unsurprisingly reacted with fury, with a strongly-worded editorial by The Global Times put out in both English and Chinese and carried widely in other local media outlets.<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
It accused Mrs Clinton of aping Republican candidate Donald Trump – who has himself made provocative remarks about China – in an attempt to gain votes through China-bashing.<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
In its English editorial, Global Times called her “a rabble-rouser” engaged in “ignonimous shenanigans” – but in Chinese it was even blunter: “It looks like Hillary is in a panicked frenzy, her eyes have turned red… She has started to copy Trump’s speaking style and allowed herself to become a fierce big mouth.”<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
“She really has lowered herself. Chinese people aren’t angry at her, but we now despise her a little.”<\/div>

 <\/div>
News outlets also widely covered a response by the Chinese delegation in New York, that said the women’s rights activists “were not arrested because they were advocating women’s rights issues, but because their behaviour flouted Chinese laws”.<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
‘Lewinsky’s in your bed’<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
Online, the reaction was more divided. Riled-up patriotic netizens on microblogging network Sina Weibo called her “an old witch” and made references to Monica Lewinsky, the former White House intern who had an affair with Bill Clinton.<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
“Hillary you should quickly rush home, Lewinsky is already in your bed with Bill. Why don’t you mind your own business instead of talking rubbish about China,” said user Lewubianzhong.<\/div>
