Ambassador Chen Xu, Permanent Representative of China to the United Nations Office in Geneva and other international organizations in Switzerland, delivered a speech in the defense session of the General Debate on Item 4 of the 46th Session of the Human Rights Council on March 15. He introduced the real situation in Xinjiang, Hong Kong and other places and urged the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia and other countries have stopped interfering in the internal affairs of other countries through human rights issues.
Chen Xu said that the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, and some European Union countries abused the Human Rights Council platform to spread false information and groundless accusations against China. China firmly opposes this.
Chen Xu said that China insists on putting the people at the center and has made remarkable achievements in promoting the development of the cause of human rights.
Currently, Xinjiang and Tibet are prosperous and stable, and people of all ethnic groups live and work in peace and contentment.
The total economic volume of Xinjiang has increased by more than 200 times in the past 60 years, the average life expectancy has doubled, and the Uyghur population has doubled.
To put the label of "genocide" on China is extremely absurd, and it is absolutely impossible to succeed.
He said that Hong Kong affairs are entirely China's internal affairs and should not allow outside interference.
After the implementation of the Hong Kong National Security Law, Hong Kong has achieved a transition from chaos and governance, and the legal rights of Hong Kong residents have been better exercised.
The National People's Congress made the decision to improve the electoral system of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. It will fully implement the principle of "patriots ruling Hong Kong" from the institutional mechanism to ensure the long-term stability of Hong Kong and the steady and long-term practice of "One Country, Two Systems".
Chen Xu said that China welcomes the OHCHR's visit to China and Xinjiang, and the two sides are maintaining communication on this.
Gao Zhuan's visit to China is a friendly visit, not a so-called "investigation" based on the presumption of guilt.
China firmly opposes any use of this matter for political manipulation and pressure on China.
China has invited EU countries to visit Xinjiang on many occasions, but they have shied away from it for various reasons, which makes people suspect that they are using Xinjiang-related issues to serve their own political purposes.
Chen Xu said that the above-mentioned countries are keen to point fingers at developing countries including China, but they have turned a blind eye to their own serious human rights issues and kept silent.
For example, the United States has committed the crime of "genocide" long ago, wantonly expelling and killing Indians, and the American Indian population has fallen by 95%.
In the face of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the United States failed to take effective measures to control the epidemic, causing hundreds of thousands of people to lose their precious lives. However, American politicians shirked their responsibilities and blamed others.
Australian soldiers abroad killed civilians, including children; credible reports indicate that the Australian soldiers have committed serious war crimes.
Chen Xu finally stated that China urges the above-mentioned countries to immediately stop violating the human rights of their own and other countries, and immediately stop interfering in the internal affairs of other countries through human rights issues, and make real contributions to international human rights protection.
