Ministry of Foreign Affairs: Urge the U.S. to immediately lift the so-called sanctions against Chinese officials, otherwise China will take reciprocal countermeasures

　　On March 22, Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin hosted a regular press conference.

A reporter asked: On the 21st, US Secretary of State Blinken issued a statement saying that the US will impose visa restrictions on some Chinese officials inside and outside China and in the US.

What is China's comment?

　　In this regard, Wang Wenbin first said: "The US statement is full of its own prejudice and lies, slandering China, constantly suppressing Chinese officials, violating international law and basic norms of international relations, and grossly interfering in China's internal affairs. China firmly opposes this."

　　Wang Wenbin pointed out that the Chinese people have the most say in the human rights situation in China.

The Chinese government adheres to the people-centered human rights concept, conscientiously implements the constitutional principle of respecting and protecting human rights, regards the right to subsistence and development as the primary basic principle, coordinates the promotion of the economic, political, social, cultural and other rights of all people, and strives to safeguard Social equity and justice, and promote the all-round development of human beings.

China has successfully embarked on a human rights development path that conforms to the trend of the times and suits its own national conditions, and has made historic achievements in China's human rights cause.

More than 1.4 billion Chinese people have a growing sense of gain, happiness and security in human rights protection, and China's human rights situation is at its best in history.

The international community has seen this for all to see.

　　Wang Wenbin emphasized that the biggest human rights violator in the world is the United States. The United States is still clamoring for suppression and sanctions against other countries in the name of protecting human rights. Such tricks are doomed to fail.

　　Wang Wenbin finally pointed out that we urge the United States to earnestly reflect on and correct the numerous crimes it has committed in the field of human rights. Reciprocal countermeasures will be given.
