China's internal affairs.
What is China's comment?
Zhao Lijian said that on October 31, local time, at the meeting of the Third Committee of the 77th United Nations General Assembly, Cuba made a joint speech on behalf of 66 countries, pointing out that Xinjiang, Hong Kong and Tibet affairs are China's internal affairs, and opposes the politicization and duality of human rights issues. It opposes the use of human rights as an excuse to interfere in China's internal affairs, advocates that all parties should abide by the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, respect the right of people of all countries to choose their own development paths according to their national conditions, and stress that the international community should strengthen solidarity and cooperation to jointly promote and protect human rights.
In addition, more than 30 countries supported China through separate speeches and joint letters.
Zhao Lijian said that after the 51st session of the Human Rights Council, nearly 100 countries have once again voiced justice in the United Nations to express their understanding and support for China's legitimate position.
This fully shows that justice is in the hearts of the people. The international community, especially the developing countries, are opposed to the politicization of human rights issues, and the attempts of a few Western countries to smear, suppress and contain China through Xinjiang-related issues will never succeed.
