Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin hosted a regular press conference on May 25.

　　A reporter asked: According to reports, on the 24th, a shooting incident occurred at an elementary school in Texas, the United States, resulting in the death of at least 19 children, including 21 people.

According to US media statistics, this is the 39th school shooting in the United States this year.

In addition, today is the second anniversary of the "kneeling killing" of George Floyd by a white police officer in the United States.

But we have noticed that two years on, injustice against minorities in the United States has continued unabated.

What is China's comment?

　　Wang Wenbin: We have seen relevant reports and are saddened by the repeated vicious shooting incidents in the United States that have caused heavy casualties. We express our condolences to the victims and our sympathy and condolences to the injured and their families.

　　The U.S. is the nation with the worst gun violence and racial discrimination, and the nation with the worst human rights deficit.

But it is unacceptable that over the past few decades, people have not seen the US government take any real steps to solve the above problems.

For the past 25 years, the federal government has failed to introduce a gun control bill.

It's been nearly 60 years since Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I have a dream" cry, but what people see today is the harsh reality of Floyd's "I can't breathe."

　　The US government is indifferent to the systematic violation of the human rights of the American people, but it is keen to attack and interfere recklessly against other countries under the guise of human rights.

This fully shows that the US's so-called "valuing human rights" is completely hypocritical and empty.

The US government doesn't even care about the human rights of its own people, so how can it really care about the human rights of other countries?

What the US really cares about is to use human rights as a tool to control and suppress other countries.

　　We urge the U.S. side to take the human rights of the American people seriously, submit a U.S. human rights report to the world as soon as possible, and deeply examine why the U.S. has become the country with the most gun violence in the world, and the probability of children and adolescents being killed by gunfire is the other 31 15 times as many high-income countries combined?

Why do Asian Americans in New York live in fear, discrimination against Muslim groups continues unabated, and racial persecution of indigenous people continues?

Why does the United States have the best medical technology and conditions in the world, but it has become the country with the most confirmed cases and deaths of new coronary pneumonia in the world?

　　The United States should take effective measures as soon as possible to ensure the safety of the American people, so that the American people can truly enjoy the rights and freedoms to be free from fear, gun violence and racial discrimination.
