China News Service, Beijing, July 16 (Huang Yuqin) In response to US Secretary of State Pompeo’s recent attack on human rights in China, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying responded by listing detailed data at a regular press conference on the 16th. She pointed out that the United States’ allegations of China’s human rights issue are the biggest lie of this century, and relevant officials of the United States should be ashamed.

  A reporter asked questions. On the 15th, US Secretary of State Pompeo said that the United States is imposing visa restrictions on employees of Chinese technology companies that provide material support for human rights violations worldwide. He believes that China is a century stain in the field of human rights. What is China's comment?

  Hua Chunying said, IMHO, although the US side has kept human rights on its lips all day long, the United States is actually the world’s largest human rights violator. The US accusation on China’s human rights issue is the biggest lie of this century, and the relevant US officials should be ashamed. The American media and the American people should also be saddened by their officials who are full of lies.

  She emphasized that whether human rights in China are good or not, the most important judgment comes from the Chinese people, not a few American politicians. More than 70 years after the founding of New China, under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, the Chinese people have embarked on a development path that suits China's national conditions and achieved remarkable achievements. On China's 9.6 million square kilometers of land, 56 ethnic groups live in harmony and 1.4 billion people live and work in peace and contentment. For more than 40 years, China's per capita income has increased by more than 25 times, 850 million people have escaped poverty, and China has contributed more than 70% to poverty reduction worldwide. At the same time, China is the only country among all the major powers that has not developed into the second largest economy in the world without war, colonization and slavery. For more than 10 consecutive years, China has contributed more than 30% to the increase in global GDP. This is the largest human rights project, this is the best human rights practice, and this is China's greatest contribution to the cause of human rights in the world. As long as there is no prejudice, this is obvious to all.

  Hua Chunying pointed out that the United States expelled and killed Indians through the "Westward Movement" nearly 100 years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, reducing the population of American Indians from 5 million to 250,000, only 1/20 of the original. The United States has not fought in only 16 years of its 240-year history. Since 2001, the United States has waged wars and military operations in Iraq, Libya, Syria, Afghanistan, and other countries, and it has also "divided the nameless" and bypassed the Security Council. Needless to say, the financial expenditure exceeded US$6 trillion, and the death toll exceeded 800,000, leading to the displacement of tens of millions of people. In the United States, the human rights situation of ethnic minorities such as African descent is very difficult. Freud is not the only person in the United States who has suffocated and died because of "inability to breathe". This kind of racial discrimination in the United States is everywhere, and the gap between rich and poor is clear. "In fact, the United States is the most severely divided between the rich and the poor in Western countries. I see figures saying that from 1989 to 2018, the bottom 50% of the net household wealth growth in the United States was basically zero, and the gap between the rich and the poor was 50 years. Highest."

  "For such iron-like facts, where did Secretary Pompeo's confidence and confidence talk about human rights with China?" Hua Chunying said, "If you want to talk about it, I think he'd better ask Freud and the United States How do those ethnic minorities in the country view the human rights situation in the United States? He'd better ask how those innocent lives in Iraq, Libya and Afghanistan look at the performance of the United States on human rights." (End)
