China Condemns U.S. and West for Human Rights Stratagem

Recently, the 51 st Session of the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) came to a vote on draft resolution in reference to human rights situation in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, China.

The gist of this resolution railroaded by the U.S. is that the 52 nd Session of the UNHRC to be held in March next year brings the human rights issue in Xinjiang as a main topic of discussion.

This draft resolution was submitted by the U.S. and the Western countries under the good name of following “procedure” which is neutral and does not have any political motive. They expressed “concerns” over the “serious human rights violations” in Xinjiang which was mentioned in the assessment report OHCHR issued on August 31 this year.

This resolution, however, was turned down in the end in the face of strong opposition from many countries such as China.

A spokesperson for Chinese foreign ministry responded to this by stressing that the Xinjiang issue is not a so-called human rights issue, but an issue of fighting against violence, terrorism, extremism and division. The reality has proved once again that the U.S. and some Western countries would never realize their attempts to curb and restrain China over Xinjiang issue even though they put pressure on UNHCR members by fabricating the draft decision based on outrageous lies they had spread, the spokesperson noted.

The spokesperson also pointed out that what the UNHRC should discuss as an issue of real concern is the grave human rights violations committed by the U.S. and the Western countries. These include, the spokesperson said, systematic racism and racial discrimination, infringement on the rights of the refugees and migrants, rampant gun-related violence, abuse of unilateral coercive measures, heavy casualties caused by military actions abroad.

The representative of China to the UN Geneva office and other international organizations in Switzerland also condemned this draft resolution. He said that the above-mentioned draft resolution is, in essence, aimed at fixing the nonexistent human rights issue in Xinjiang as the agenda of the session of Human Rights Council and using the UN human rights organization to pursue its objectives of intervening in the internal affairs of China and “overpowering China by means of Xinjiang”. He further said that the U.S. act of ignoring the truth is a typical case of political fabrication, and it is the worst violation of the human rights of the nations in Xinjiang.

The international public opinion says that the Western countries have suffered from a “serious setback” as they were checkmated in their stratagem to pass the resolution at the UNHRC.
