A Chinese citizen killed in the Atlanta shooting Chinese Foreign Ministry: demands that the United States punish the murderer
China News Service, Beijing, March 22 (Huang Yuqin) In response to the death of a Chinese citizen in a series of shootings in Atlanta, the United States, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hua Chunying told a conference from the regular press on the 22nd that China requires the United States to punish the killer as soon as possible. Return the deceased and his family to justice.
Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Hua ChunyingA reporter asked a question: On March 16, there were a series of shootings in Atlanta, Georgia, and 6 of the 8 killed were of Asian descent. In response to this case, US Vice President Harris claimed that racism, xenophobia and gender discrimination have always existed in the United States. After the “911” incident, the Muslim people in America got it. Last year, people with great power criticized the Asian group the most, and those with the most voice spread this kind of hatred. On the 21st, US President Biden issued a statement stating that “systemic racism” and “white supremacy” are nasty poisons that plague America and that changes must be made. The statement also mentioned China’s abuse of Uighurs. What is China’s comment?
Hua Chunying said that one of the victims in the successive shootings in Atlanta on March 16 was a Chinese national, and this saddens us. China demands that the United States severely punish the murderer in accordance with the law as soon as possible, return the deceased and his family to justice, and take effective measures to protect the safety and legitimate rights of Chinese citizens in the United States. The Chinese Embassy in the United States is closely monitoring the progress of the case and will provide active assistance to the families of the deceased.
Hua Chunying said that you just mentioned some of President Harris’ comments on racism. I believe that Vice President Harris has declared the reality in the United States. In recent years, hate crimes and racism against Asians in the United States have been on the rise and many tragedies have occurred. It’s been 58 years since Dr. Martin Luther King gave the “I Have a Dream” speech, but the Freuds still can’t breathe. Almost 20 years have passed since the “September 11” incident, but Muslims in the United States continue to face systematic discrimination and stigmatization. Since the outbreak, the last US government has spread false information and racially discriminatory hate speech, and the direct result is that Asian Americans suffer from systemic racial discrimination and hate crimes.
Hua Chunying pointed out that the United States must not only have the courage to face the problem, but also the determination to solve it. We hope that the dialects of the USA will do what we say, and we will truly protect the rights and legitimate interests of ethnic minorities, including Asians, with practical actions, so that they are not subject to such discrimination, attacks or even cost. of their lifes. The United States must seriously comply with its obligations under the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, safeguard and protect the legal rights of minorities, and respond to the concerns of the international community with concrete action.
Regarding the problems related to Xinjiang, Hua Chunying said that the current problem is not the situation of the Uyghurs, but the problem of lies and truth. If the US government can truly care for and protect the legitimate rights and interests of ethnic minorities while the Chinese government treats ethnic minorities, including Xinjiang Uighurs, the problem of racial discrimination in the United States should have been better resolved a long time ago. The United States bases its unfounded accusations about China on lies and rumors, which is ridiculous.
Hua Chunying said that we strongly recommend that the United States take a close look at the “Lies and Truths on Xinjiang-related Issues” published by the Xinhua News Agency and the series of white papers on Xinjiang-related issues issued by China, and listen to more than 30 events organized by the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. At the special conference, you can also read related reports on the “gray zone” from the American independent website and the book “The End of Uyghur Fake News” by the French writer Vivas. The Xinjiang gate is open. We welcome people who really want to know about the development of Xinjiang, including Americans, to visit Xinjiang, but we strongly oppose anyone who is patronizing and allegedly guilty of going to Xinjiang.
