Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, October 15 (Reporter Pan Jie) In response to US Secretary of State Pompeo’s accusation that the Chinese government “infringes on the human rights of its own people” and spoke on issues Like China’s religious freedom, Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said on the 15th that America’s human rights Religious freedom is stigmatized, what requirements do you have to attack and blame other countries?
Zhao Lijian told a regular press conference that the Chinese government attaches great importance to the protection and promotion of human rights, adheres to the people-centered concept of human rights, and protects the rights and freedoms enjoyed by Chinese citizens of compliance with the law.
He said that in the 71 years since the founding of New China, especially since reform and opening-up, China’s human rights cause has made world-renowned achievements. During the third round of national human rights reviews of the United Nations Human Rights Council, more than 120 countries fully affirmed China’s tremendous achievements in promoting and protecting human rights and appreciated China’s development and progress by his important contributions to the cause of human rights in the world. A few days ago, China was successfully elected as a member of the United Nations Human Rights Council for the fifth time. A survey report released by the Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government shows that the Chinese people are more than 93% satisfied with the Chinese government.
“On the other hand, the United States has its own human rights and religious freedoms.” Zhao Lijian said that the United States has racial discrimination, violent law enforcement and prisoner abuse scandals. The gun violence crime rate ranks first in the world each year, killing tens of thousands of people each year. The United States withdrew from the United Nations Human Rights Council as early as 2018 and has yet to ratify major human rights conventions such as the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women. The religious situation of minorities in the United States is worrying. Polls show that 75% of American Muslims believe that American society has severe discrimination against Muslims. The number of mosques in the United States is less than one-tenth that of an autonomous region in Xinjiang, China. “What qualifications does the United States have to attack and blame other countries?”
He said that out of ideological biases and his own political interest, Pompeo repeatedly defamed and discredited China, even at the expense of the “Falungong” cult. Pompeo must respect the minimum facts and stop fabricating all kinds of lies about China, otherwise he will only further damage his own credibility and the image and interests of the United States.
