Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin hosted a regular press conference on April 18.

  A reporter asked a question. According to US media reports, a white police officer in Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA recently shot a 26-year-old African-American man Patrick Leoya in the head during law enforcement, killing him on the spot.

The incident once again triggered strong criticism of racial discrimination and police brutality in American society.

What is the spokesperson's comment on this?

  Wang Wenbin said that a large number of facts show that issues such as racial discrimination, gun crimes, and violent law enforcement in the United States are not isolated and individual cases, but long-term and systemic problems.

  More than a year after Floyd wailed "I can't breathe", hundreds of more ethnic minorities have died at the gunpoint of U.S. law enforcement officers.

  The United States has the worst gun violence in the world and is the only developed country to have seen mass shootings every year for the past 20 years.

Reportedly, people of color suffer from police discrimination in many ways.

  The United States is becoming a country where human rights are systematically violated.

The United States has no right to point fingers at other countries' human rights.

What the US should do is to face up to the serious human rights problems that are widespread in China, and seriously reflect on how to solve the problem of the deteriorating human rights situation at the root.
