Dragon TV: According to reports, the EU Delegation in China issued a statement on December 10, reiterating concern over China’s severe human rights situation and urging China to “respect, protect and fulfil human rights for all, including Uyghurs, Tibetans and persons belonging to ethnic minorities across China”. It also mentions the death penalty and “pro-democracy” activists. What’s China’s comment?  Mao Ning: The EU statement contains groundless accusation on China’s human rights conditions, spreads disinformation, tarnishes China’s image and gravely violates China’s internal affairs. China deplores and firmly opposes this and has made solemn démarches to the EU. China holds a people-centered approach and has scored historic achievements in protecting human rights. Xinjiang and Xizang have long enjoyed booming economy, harmonious and stable society, and effective protection and promotion of cultural heritage. The rights and freedoms of all ethnic groups, including the freedom of religious belief and the freedom to use and develop their ethnic groups’ spoken and written languages, are fully protected. Facts have long disproved the so-called “genocide” and “forced labor” as egregious lies. The human rights conditions there are at their historical best, as recognized by the international community. While pointing fingers at developing countries’ human rights conditions over the years, the EU is in fact experiencing worrying human rights conditions in itself. Recent years have seen in European countries infringement of the rights of refugees and migrants, rising exclusivism and racism, negligence over economic, social and cultural rights and the right to development, and selective application and double standards on issues such as freedom of press and forced labor. UN High Commissioner for Human Rights pointed out that some EU countries are backsliding on fundamental human rights commitments.  China strongly urges the EU to recognize China’s progress in the human rights cause, put down arrogance and bias, abandon the hypocritical double standards, take concrete action to improve its own human rights conditions, stop using human rights as a pretext to interfere in China’s internal affairs and judicial sovereignty, and stop politicizing, instrumentalizing and weaponizing human rights issues. __________________ ShanghaiEye focuses on producing top-quality contents.
