China News Service, Beijing, June 1 (Huang Yuqin, Li Jingze) In response to recent protests in the United States due to the death of African-American man George Freud, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian at a regular press conference on June 1. He said that China is concerned about developments in the United States due to the death of George Freud. The lives of black people are also lives, and their human rights must also be guaranteed.
He pointed out that racial discrimination suffered by minorities in the United States is a chronic illness in the United States. The current state of affairs once again reflects the seriousness of racial discrimination and police violent law enforcement in the United States and the urgency of solving the problems. It is hoped that the US government will take effective measures to fulfill its obligations under the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, and safeguard and guarantee the legal rights of ethnic minorities.
A reporter asked questions, some US officials and agencies mentioned the influence of foreign forces on the current situation in the United States, including U.S. National Security Adviser O'Brien, he especially mentioned the expressions of Chinese social media on the situation of the US gloating, and some people have noticed a lot Social media compares the situation in the United States with that in Hong Kong. Do you have any comment or response to the above statement?
"Analysis by officials such as O'Brien and the US is groundless. China does not interfere in other countries' internal affairs. At the same time, the people of the world have seen everything that is happening in the United States through the media. American politicians should take care of their own affairs." Zhao Lijian said that China has right and wrong concepts. We have never opposed all forms of violent and illegal acts. We also hope that the United States should address the problem of racial discrimination in China.
"Regarding your mention of the question of comparing the American demonstrations with the Hong Kong protests, the two causes are completely different." Zhao Lijian said that in the repair storm in Hong Kong, the internal and external hostile forces unscrupulously carried out various divisions of the country, subversion of power, and organization and implementation. Terrorist activities, which are "Hong Kong independence" and black violence, are acts that seriously endanger national security. The cause of the protests in the United States has been fully reported by the American media.
"I'm afraid many people would like to ask the same question. Why did the US side beautify Hong Kong's" Hong Kong independence "and black violents as heroic fighters, and the people in the United States who protested against racial discrimination are called thugs? The law enforcement has accused the public, but threatened to shoot at the domestic protesters or even use the National Guard? "Zhao Lijian said," The US approach is the most typical "world-famous double standard". The problems behind this are worth pondering and vigilance. Of. "(End)
