Cartel of killers
▶ UK, US and Canada jointly whip up global Xinjiang hysteria, but what about their joint history of systematic genocide, violence and enthic clean sing?
As the 47th session of the United Nations Human Rights Council is scheduled to be held in Geneva on Monday, the Global Times learned that Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, and some other Western countries have worked to misuse the UN platform to bring topics on China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and hyped untenable “genocide” allegations against China.
However, Chinese experts said that whatever inflammatory allegations these countries have been making, their political farce has got no legal basis from the international laws nor will they get support from the international community.
Canada will take the lead in making a Xinjiang- related joint statement at the interactive dialogue on the annual report of the High Commissioner for Human Rights at the Human Rights Council on June 21, according to the website of China’s Permanent Mission to the United Nations Office in Geneva and other International Organizations in Switzerland.
The attempt of Canada to lead an anti- China joint statement at the 47th session of the Human Rights Council is doomed to fail, Chinese Mission spokesperson Liu Yuyin said in response to a media question on this issue.
“It seems they are bent on going down the wrong path and about to stage another political farce,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian said on Friday, adding that China’s achievements in the human rights cause, including in Xinjiang, are universally recognized, and no one can gainsay this fact. “Standing in stark contrast are these mud- slinging countries’ own deplorable human rights records,” he noted.
Observers and experts reached by the Global Time said that some Western countries believe they have the moral high ground to accuse China of committing “genocide,” but the fact is they don’t. Unlike them, China has never had a history of genocide and ethnic cleansing, nor will it in the future.
The US, Canada, and the UK, and some of the Western countries wishing to accuse China of committing “genocide,” a “projection” of facts based on their own heinous past and continued systemic violence and oppression, assumed China would do the same, Zhu Ying, deputy director of the National Human Rights Education and Training Base of the Southwest University of Political Science and Law, told the Global Times on Sunday.
As Chinese netizens commented, the very reason why they use these excuses to smear China is because they themselves have actually committed such atrocities. For every label of human rights violation they put on China, they can find a prototype in themselves. Here, the Global Times investigates and reveals the true faces of Canada, the UK, and the US, the three countries that have abysmal human rights records.
