[ Global Times report Reporter Zhao Juezhang] At the meeting of the Third Committee of the 77th UN General Assembly held on October 31, in the face of the attacks and smears against China by a few countries such as the United States and Canada, nearly 100 countries oppose interfering in China's internal affairs through various forms such as joint speeches and other forms, expressing their understanding and support for China's legitimate position. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson spokesperson Zhao Lijian said at a regular press conference on November 1 that this fully demonstrates that justice is in the hearts of the people. The international community, especially the vast majority of developing countries, opposes the politicization of human rights issues, and a few Western countries' 's attempt to smear, suppress and contain China through Xinjiang and other issues will never succeed.

According to the news released by China's permanent delegation to the United Nations, on the same day, Cuba made a joint speech on behalf of 66 countries, firmly supporting China, emphasizing respect for the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of all countries, and not interfering in the internal affairs of sovereign countries is the basic norm of international relations, and Xinjiang, Hong Kong and Tibet affairs are China's internal affairs. It opposes the politicization and double standards of human rights issues, and opposes the use of human rights as an excuse to interfere in China's internal affairs; it emphasizes that all parties should abide by United Nations The purposes and principles of the Charter follow the principles of universality, fairness, objectivity and non-selectivity, respect the right of people of all countries to independently choose their development paths according to national conditions, attach equal importance to all types of human rights, especially to economic, social, cultural rights and development rights; point out that human society is facing multiple challenges, including the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the international community should adhere to multilateralism , strengthen unity and cooperation, and jointly respond to global challenges, and jointly promote world peace and development , promote and protect human rights.

At the same time, Saudi , on behalf of 6 Gulf countries and Yemen and Libya , supported China, and expressed that on human rights issues, we should adhere to the principles of objective, constructive and non-politicization, follow the purposes and principles of the United Nations Charter and the " Universal Declaration of Human Rights ", respect national sovereignty, and do not interfere in internal affairs. Venezuela represents the 19 member states of the "Group on Friends of the Defence of the United Nations Charter" to support China, criticizing some countries for their difficulty in protecting their citizens from the right to avoid discrimination, but implementing illegal unilateral coercive measures to other countries, which constitutes a contemporary form of systemic discrimination. It calls on the international community to uphold multilateralism and continue to create conditions for promoting human rights, social justice and development.

In addition, many countries made country speeches at the meeting to express their understanding and support for China, positively evaluate China's achievements in the development of human rights, and call on all countries to uphold multilateralism and solidarity and cooperation, and promote and protect human rights through dialogue and cooperation. Public information shows that the Third Committee of the United Nations General Assembly is the main committee discussing human rights and social development issues. Since 2019, the United States has gathered some countries to attack and smear China for four consecutive times, and has been firmly opposed by most countries and ended in failure.

Dai Bing, the interim office of China's Permanent Mission to the United Nations, also severely refuted the attacks and slandering of a few countries at the meeting. Dai Bing said that promoting and protecting human rights is the unremitting pursuit of the Communist Party of China, the Chinese government and the Chinese people. China has repeatedly introduced China's efforts and great achievements in promoting and protecting human rights in the Third Committee of this year, and has been fully recognized and praised by the vast majority of member states. However, a few countries such as Canada and the United States are stubborn and abused the three committees again, gathered small circles, provoked political confrontation, and attacked and smeared China. China firmly opposed and solemnly refused.

For the support from most countries, Dai Bing said that it is clear at a glance which is right and who is wrong, and people's hearts are clear. "No matter how many countries in the United States and the West package anti-China joint speeches, they cannot cover up their hidden political accusations and will only be doomed to failure. No matter how many countries in the United States and the West hype perform, they cannot erase the facts and truth of the historic progress of Xinjiang's human rights cause, and will only bring shame on themselves."

Dai Bing emphasized that the United States and the West have adopted double standards on human rights issues, which is extremely hypocritical. A few countries such as the United States, , EU, , accused dozens of member states, but pretended to be deaf and dumb about their own and their allies' human rights.When Floyd shouted "I can't breathe", they chose to remain silent and refused to lend a helping hand; when the US, Britain and NATO troops shot innocent people in Afghanistan and Iraq , they chose to be blind and become accomplices; when torture and slaughter prisons occurred in Guantanamo and Abu Ghrib prisons, they suppressed news reports and suppressed calls for accountability.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said in a regular press conference on November 1 that the Third Committee of the UN General Assembly is a platform for dialogue and cooperation, not a arena for division and confrontation. The world has long been tired of seeing the politicization of human rights issues and the clumsy performance of double standards. China advises these countries to put aside their "teachers" and stop using the excuse of human rights issues to engage in political manipulation, spread rumors, slander and curb suppression. What they should do is to deeply reflect on their own serious human rights violations, deeply review the human rights disasters created for other countries, and return to the right track of cooperative dialogue.
