[Global Times Comprehensive Report]The 47th session of the UN Human Rights Council was held in Geneva, Switzerland from June 21 to July 15. On the 22nd, Canada, on behalf of some Western countries, attacked and accused China on Xinjiang-related, Hong Kong-related, and Tibet-related issues at the meeting. At the same time, Belarus made a joint statement on behalf of 65 countries in support of China’s position and opposed to interfering in China’s internal affairs under the pretext of human rights; the six member states of the Gulf Cooperation Council collectively sent letters to support China’s position; and more than 20 countries were prepared to speak individually Support China. A spokesperson for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on the 22nd that there are public opinions on right and wrong, and justice is in the hearts of the people. More than 90 countries’ voices of justice in the Human Rights Council reflect the popular support of the international community and expose the hypocritical masks of a few Western countries using human rights issues to interfere in other countries’ internal affairs. They use issues such as Xinjiang, Hong Kong, and Tibet to discredit China. The attempt again ended in failure.
According to a report by Agence France-Presse on the 22nd, a joint statement between Canada and the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan and other Western countries has been brewing for several days. The statement issued on the 22nd stated that it “expressed serious concerns about the human rights situation in Xinjiang” and required China to allow the United Nations. The High Commissioner for Human Rights Bachelet and other independent observers “entered into Xinjiang immediately, meaningfully and unrestricted.” The report said that before Canada, China and other countries issued a statement calling for an independent investigation into the discovery of the remains of more than 200 indigenous children in a Canadian boarding school last month.
A spokesperson for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated on the 22nd that Xinjiang-related, Hong Kong-related, and Tibet-related issues are not human rights issues at all. China has repeatedly stated its solemn position and detailed facts and truths, but it just does not wake up those who pretend to sleep. A few Western countries are keen to fabricate rumors about China and interfere in China’s internal affairs under the banner of human rights. The purpose is to suppress and contain China and hinder China’s development process. It is doomed to be futile.
According to Reuters, Bachelet said at the opening of the Human Rights Council meeting on the 21st that he hopes to visit Xinjiang this year and gain meaningful access to investigate “reports of serious human rights violations in Xinjiang.” This is the first time she has proposed a timetable for her visit to Xinjiang. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian said on the 22nd that the remarks made by the UN Human Rights Commissioner on Xinjiang-related issues are seriously inconsistent with facts. We welcome the OHCHR to visit China and Xinjiang. We have already issued an invitation to the OHCHR to visit China and Xinjiang. The two sides have been in communication. At the same time, we have also stated on many occasions that this visit should be a friendly visit, with the purpose of promoting exchanges and cooperation between the two parties, rather than conducting a so-called “investigation” based on presumption of guilt. We firmly oppose anyone using this matter for political manipulation and pressure China.
Liu Yuyin, spokesperson of the Chinese Permanent Mission in Geneva, also stated on the 21st that we urge the Human Rights Commissioner to respect the right of the Chinese people to pursue a happy life, stop making erroneous remarks that interfere with China’s sovereignty and judicial independence, and conduct constructive dialogue and exchanges with China for The two sides cooperate to create a good atmosphere.
