China News Service, Beijing, September 24 (Reporter Zhang Weiran) In response to U.S. Secretary of State Pompeo’s accusation of China’s human rights situation, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin stated at a regular press conference on the 24th that China does not accept “human rights teachers”. We oppose "double standards" on human rights issues, distorted facts, spread rumors and smear, and oppose using human rights issues to interfere in other countries' internal affairs.

  A reporter asked questions. According to reports, Pompeo recently accused China, Iran, Venezuela and other countries of the human rights situation.

What's China's response to this?

  Wang Wenbin stated that the United States is accustomed to being a "human rights teacher" and criticizing the human rights situation of other countries.

But in fact, the human rights situation in the United States itself is very bad.

"Can't breathe" and "Black people's fate is also fate", the whole world has heard and seen.

The UN Human Rights Council passed a resolution not long ago, strongly condemning the serious problem of racial discrimination in the United States.

The United States should be self-aware, and should first face up to and correct its own problems.

  He said that the Chinese government attaches great importance to the protection and promotion of human rights and pursues the people-centered concept of human rights. It has successfully lifted 850 million poor people out of poverty, achieved the poverty reduction goal of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development 10 years ahead of schedule, and built the world’s largest scale. The education system, social security system, medical system and grassroots democratic system guarantee citizens’ freedom of speech and religious belief and the rights of ethnic minorities to participate in the management of state affairs in accordance with the law, and the people’s rights are effectively protected.

During China's participation in the third round of national human rights review by the UN Human Rights Council, more than 120 countries fully affirmed China's tremendous achievements in the promotion and protection of human rights, and appreciated China's development and progress for its important contributions to the world's human rights cause.

A survey report released by the Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation of the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University shows that the Chinese people are more than 93% satisfied with the Chinese government.

  Wang Wenbin pointed out that no country in the world has a perfect human rights situation.

China is willing to conduct exchanges with other countries in the world on the basis of equality and mutual respect, and promote common progress in the cause of human rights in the world.

"But we don't accept the'human rights teacher', we oppose the practice of'double standards' on human rights issues, we oppose distorting facts, spreading rumors and smearing, and opposing interference in other countries' internal affairs through human rights issues." (End)
