China News Service, Beijing, May 30 (Reporter Li Jingze) Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Zhao Lijian hosted a regular press conference on May 30.
A reporter asked: On May 28, US Secretary of State Blinken issued a statement saying that the Chinese government has set conditions, restricted and manipulated the visit of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet. The US side is concerned about this.
What is China's comment?
Zhao Lijian: At the invitation of the Chinese government, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet will visit China from May 23 to 28.
The Chinese side believes that this is a journey to enhance understanding, strengthen cooperation, and clear the source.
During the visit, High Commissioner Bachelet visited Guangzhou and Xinjiang. Through various forms such as talks, discussions, and field visits, he comprehensively deepened his understanding and recognition of China's human rights development path, and personally experienced a safe and stable society. A real Xinjiang that develops, continues to improve, and people live and work in peace and contentment.
In the face of facts and truth, all Xinjiang-related lies and rumors are self-defeating.
But there are always some "pretend sleepers" who can't wake up no matter how hard they poke them.
The United States has turned a blind eye to the truth of Xinjiang, and turned a deaf ear to it, and it has brought out the lies and rumors that have been exposed countless times, repeating the same old tune, and smearing and attacking China.
The funny thing is that they made up new lies, claiming that China restricted and manipulated the visit.
In fact, the arrangements of High Commissioner Bachelet's activities during his visit to China were made according to his wishes and through full consultation between the two sides.
High Commissioner Bachelet also said at a press conference that there were extensive and unsupervised exchanges during his visit to China.
What is the limit?
How to manipulate?
In fact, it is the US that really wants to manipulate this visit.
From the very beginning, it was the United States that urged Bachelet to visit China, and it was also the United States that set various conditions for Bachelet's visit to China.
Now it is the United States that is attacking and discrediting the visit of High Commissioner Bachelet.
The United States does not care about the human rights situation at all. It just wants to use human rights as a guise to slander, slander, suppress and contain China. The hypocrisy and political schemes of the United States have long been clearly seen by the world.
On the other hand, the human rights situation in the United States itself is like "the emperor's new clothes".
The recent vicious shootings on Texas campuses are especially heart-wrenching.
The right to life of the vast majority of ordinary people in the United States, including children, is difficult to guarantee.
Since 2001, the United States has waged wars in about 80 countries in the name of "anti-terrorism", killing more than 800,000 people, including 300,000 civilians.
The United States has set up "black prisons" like Guantanamo around the world, where people are arbitrarily detained, tortured or ill-treated for a long time without trial.
Racism is deeply rooted in the United States, and ethnic minorities such as African Americans and Asian Americans face systematic racial discrimination.
All of these are different.
The United States turns a blind eye to serious domestic human rights violations, so what right does the United States have to point fingers and interfere in other countries?
We hereby ask OHCHR to investigate and report on human rights problems in the United States.
