Hillary Clinton called Xi Jinping “shameless” as the Chinese president hosted a United Nations summit on women’s rights, a gathering the former first lady helped bring to global attention 20 years ago.
Clinton, campaigning for the Democratic presidential nomination, took to her Twitter account Sunday and criticized Xi and China’s detention of five prominent women’s rights activists earlier this year. The move came as Xi, following visits to Seattle and Washington last week, was the main host for the summit at the UN on Sunday.
