If the situation in the Chinese province of Xinjiang were anything like what the government in Beijing is portraying, then it would have nothing to fear from the report by the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights.
However, since the situation is not as officially portrayed, Beijing is trying to put pressure on Michelle Bachelet.
Whether Bachelet's report about her trip to Xinjiang really turned out to be overly critical is basically irrelevant for Beijing.
China wants to prevent any institution from commenting on things that are happening inside China and, by official definition, are therefore no one else's business.
And so that everyone understands the message, it is presented in a commanding tone.
How far does the courage of the UN go?
The intriguing question now is whether the United Nations and its outgoing human rights watchdog will resist Chinese pressure.
Because even if the suppression of the Uyghurs in Xinjiang is not described as "genocide" - as some western parliaments do - there is still plenty of room for criticism.
The existence of camps is not even denied by China.
But it should not be about prisons, but about "educational institutions".
Hundreds of thousands are deprived of their freedom there.
Hopefully the UN will have enough courage to state at least that in the report.
