**中国媒体指责美国的宗教自由报告**
中国国家媒体指责美国有关世界宗教自由的报告，声称美国发表这份报告只会起到反作用。
中国官方的新华社星期二发表一篇评论说，这份报告是政治工具，并说美国将自己的宗教政策标准强加于人。
美国国务院星期一发表的年度报告说，中国在尊重宗教自由方面更加恶化，包括在西藏地区以及对新疆穆斯林的做法。
这份报告把中国列为需要关注的八个国家之一。其他的国家是缅甸、厄里特利亚、伊朗、朝鲜、沙特阿拉伯、苏丹和乌兹别克斯坦。
这份报告还强调指出沙特阿拉伯、巴基斯坦和阿富汗等穆斯林国家存在宗教毁谤法。
美国国务院的报告说，朝鲜根本不存在宗教自由。
**Chinese Media Criticizes US Religious Freedom Report **
Chinese state media criticized a U.S. report on worldwide religious freedom, saying the release is "counterproductive."
The state-run Xinhua news agency said in a commentary Tuesday that the report is a "political tool" and that the United States is imposing its own religious policy standards.
The annual State Department report released Monday said there has been a deterioration in China's respect for religious freedom, including in Tibetan areas and against Muslims living in the Xinjiang region.
It lists China as one of eight countries of concern. The others are are Burma, Eritrea, Iran, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, Sudan and Uzbekistan.
The report also highlights religious defamation laws in Muslim countries including Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Afghanistan.
It said that in North Korea, religious freedom does not exist at all.
**澳大利亚抓获价值5.25亿美元的毒品**
澳大利亚警方说，他们缴获了一批街头黑市价值高达5亿2500万美元的冰毒和海洛因。
有关当局星期二说，这批毒品是装在陶罐中偷运进澳大利亚的，但没有说明毒品来自何处。
警方逮捕了与这起案件相关的七个人，其中四人来自香港，另外三个是澳大利亚人。如果判定有罪，这些人将面临终身监禁。
这次抓获的306公斤冰毒，这是澳大利亚抓获最大量的冰毒，而同时抓获252公斤海洛因则是海洛因抓获量有记录以来的第三位。
澳大利亚当局接到美国方面提供的线索，进行了将近一年的调查后，实施了这次抓获行动。
**Australia Seizes Drugs Worth Up To $525 Million **
Australian police say they have seized a stash of crystal methamphetamine and heroin with a street value of up to $525 million.
Authorities said Tuesday the drugs were smuggled into the country in a shipment of terracotta pots, but did not say where the shipment originated.
Police arrested seven people, including four from Hong Kong and three Australians, in connection with the case. They face up to life in prison if convicted.
The 306 kilograms of crystal methamphetamine was the largest amount of the drug ever seized in Australia, while the 252 kilograms of heroin was the third-largest haul of that drug.
The seizure came after a nearly year-long investigation that began with a tip from U.S. authorities.
