China Has The Gall To Bash The U.S. Over Human Rights
Secretary of State Antony Blinken, national security adviser Jake Sullivan, Chinese Director of the Office of the Central Commission for Foreign Affairs Yang Jiechi, and Foreign Minister Wang Yi, met in Anchorage, Alaska to discuss where we stand. During the meeting, Yang reprimanded the U.S. on the issue of Human Rights...
"On human rights, we hope that the United States will do better on human rights. China has made steady progress in human rights, and the fact is that there are many problems within the United States regarding human rights, which is admitted by the U.S. itself as well. The United States has also said that countries can't rely on force in today's world to resolve the challenges we face. And it is a failure to use various means to topple the so-called authoritarian states. And the challenges facing the United States in human rights are deep-seated. They did not just emerge over the past four years, such as Black Lives Matter. It did not come up only recently. So we do hope that for our two countries, it's important that we manage our respective affairs well instead of deflecting the blame on somebody else in this world."
So the waterboarding, gang rape, sterilization, and brainwashing, of the Uighur people is steady progress? If this is progress I don't want to see how bad it used to be.
But despite protests for true democracy, Chinese officials claim the people of China are happy with the authoritarian leadership.
"In China, according to opinion polls, the leaders of China have the wide support of the Chinese people. So no attempt to -- the opinion polls conducted in the United States show that the leaders of China have the support of the Chinese people. No attempt to smear China's social system would get anywhere. Facts have shown that such practices would only lead the Chinese people to rally more closely around the Communist Party of China and work steadily towards the goals that we have set for ourselves."
This was just China pushing their propaganda. China is one of the worst offenders when it comes to human rights, they know it, and the world knows it. These talks definitely got off on the wrong foot but it's largely because China is lying on multiple fronts.
