Ministry of Foreign Affairs: Canada has no right to accuse China of human rights issues. The best thing they should do is reflect on their own bad deeds.Fly into the homes of ordinary people
On June 23, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Zhao Lijian presided over a regular press conference. A reporter asked. Yesterday Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau said that China does not recognize human rights violations in Xinjiang. We have also noticed comments that Canada, which frequently talks about human rights, is a typical example of a bad human rights situation. How to respond?
Zhao Lijian said that we said that Canada has no right to accuse China. What they should do best is to reflect on their human rights abuses.
Not long ago, the remains of 215 Aboriginal children were found on the site of a Catholic Aboriginal boarding school in Canada. We have noticed that although the Canadian government expressed its “heartbroken” and “shameful”, it claimed that the relevant investigation was boycotted by the church, and expected the church to assume its due responsibilities and forget its due responsibilities. This kind of “crocodile tears” exposed the hypocrisy of the Canadian government and reflected its lack of sincerity and courage to face its own human rights abuses. It also makes one wonder whether the situation of Canadian aborigines can really be improved.
Zhao Li insisted that, coincidentally, the systematic racial discrimination against other minorities in Canadian society is no less favourable than that of neighbors. Since the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia, there has been a marked increase in discrimination, stigma and violence against Asian groups in Canadian society. The report shows that from March 2020 to February 2021, more than 1,000 cases of verbal abuse and violent attacks against Asians occurred in Canada, surpassing the average population ratio of the United States. In Vancouver, Ottawa, Toronto and other places, hate crimes against Asians increased by 717%, 600% and 400% respectively in 2020.
In recent years, many African-American citizens in Canada have been violently enforced by the police to death. African-Americans have held many large-scale demonstrations. Nearly one in every 15 young blacks in Ontario has been in prison, and only one in every 70 young whites. Have been in prison. Discrimination against Muslims and hate crimes are rampant in Canada. Statistics Canada shows that in 2017, hate crimes against Muslims across Canada increased by 151% year-on-year. Regarding such outright racial discrimination and human rights violations, the Canadian government basically “says more and does less” and lacks substantive measures to protect the legitimate rights and interests of ethnic minorities.
Zhao Lijian emphasized that after the remains of 215 indigenous children were discovered, the UN Human Rights Council Special Rapporteur on the Right to Truth, Special Rapporteur on Indigenous Rights and other special mechanism experts issued a joint statement urging Canada to conduct a full investigation. Victims have the right to justice and compensation. Now we also want to ask the Canadian side, when will the investigation be conducted? When will the compensation be implemented? When will systemic measures against racial discrimination be introduced? (CCTV reporter Shen Yang Yang Hongyang)
