Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson answered reporters' questions on October 6 on China's draft decision to thwart Xinjiang-related decision in United Nations Human Rights Council .

A reporter asked: On October 6, the 51st session of the United Nations Human Rights Council voted on a draft decision on Xinjiang-related issues led by the United States, and it ended in failure. What is China’s comment on this? A spokesperson for

said that for some time, the United States and some Western countries have repeatedly spread rumors and caused trouble by using Xinjiang-related issues, engaging in political manipulation under the banner of human rights, in an attempt to discredit China's image and curb China's development. They ignored the truth and spread lies and fallacies about Xinjiang on the Human Rights Council, fabricated a so-called draft decision, attempting to use the UN human rights agency to interfere in China's internal affairs and promote their "use Xinjiang to control China". The eyes of the international community are sharp. Although the United States and some Western countries tried their best to put pressure on other member states, the draft decision was still strongly opposed by most members of the Human Rights Council, especially the vast majority of developing members, and the United States and other Western countries failed again. A spokesperson for

said that the Xinjiang-related issue is not a human rights issue at all, but an issue of anti-terrorism, de-radicalization and anti-secession. After hard work, Xinjiang has not had any violent terrorist incidents for more than five consecutive years, and the human rights of people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang have been protected to the greatest extent. The international community is well aware of the sinister plot of the United States and other Western countries to "use Xinjiang to control China" and hates them for their despicable tricks of interfering in other countries' internal affairs under the pretext of human rights. In recent years, nearly 100 countries, including the vast majority of Islamic countries, have continuously made public voices on the Human Rights Council, the Third Committee of the UN General Assembly, etc., supporting China's legitimate position on Xinjiang-related issues and opposing interfering in China's internal affairs using Xinjiang-related issues. Facts have repeatedly proved that the politicization of human rights issues and double standards are unpopular, and the attempt to suppress and contain China through Xinjiang-related issues will not succeed. A spokesperson for

said that what the Human Rights Council should really pay attention to and discuss is the serious human rights violations of Western countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom, including systemic racism and racial discrimination, violation of the rights of difficult immigration, the proliferation of gun violence, the indiscriminate use of unilateral coercive measures, and overseas military operations have caused a large number of innocent people to suffer casualties, etc., and the majority of victims are also fair and give an explanation to the international community. "We advise the United States and other Western countries to give up political manipulation, fraud, smear and unreasonable suppression, return to the track of dialogue and cooperation, and do something practical for the development of international human rights."
