China is firmly opposed to the so-called report on human rights made by the United states, and the U.S. hegemony in the guise of human rights has long been seen through by the international community, said Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin in Beijing on Tuesday.
Wang made the remarks in response to the 2023 Country Reports on Human Rights Practices released by the U.S. Department of State on Monday.
"The U.S. has been making the so-called report on human rights year after year, and the China-related content in them is full of political lies and ideological bias. China is firmly opposed to it. The people of China are best positioned to judge the human rights conditions in China. We have secured a historic success in eradicating absolute poverty; we are developing whole-process people's democracy, and we have established the world's largest education, social security, and health care systems, giving our people a growing sense of fulfillment, happiness, and security. We have found a path toward better human rights that follows the trend of the times and fits our national realities. Polls conducted by Harvard University in the U.S. for more than ten consecutive years have shown that Chinese people's satisfaction rate of the Chinese government exceeds 90 percent," said Wang.
"However, this so-called human rights report from the U.S. side jabs fingers at and spouts off the human rights situation in nearly 200 countries and regions around the world, except for itself. This once again exposes the selfish nature of the U.S. hegemony and bullying and its hypocritical double standard featuring its actions that don't match its words. If the U.S. really cares about human rights, it should face up to and properly solve the problems of gun violence, drug proliferation, racial discrimination, and the violation of human rights and dignity within the U.S., and it should face up to and reflect on the human rights disaster caused by the U.S. foreign intervention and the provision of arms and adding fuel to conflict areas," said Wang.
"The U.S. ignores the casualties of more than 110,000 civilian in Gaza and vetoed UN Security Council efforts to promote an immediate ceasefire in Gaza for four consecutive times. This is the best proof that the U.S. ignores and tramples on human rights. The U.S. hegemony in the guise of human right has long been seen through by the international community. What the U.S. should do is to reflect on itself, solve its own problems first, stop lecturing other countries on human rights, stop jabbing fingers at the human rights situation in other countries, and stop willfully interfering in other countries' internal affairs, violating other countries' human rights and exporting conflicts and turmoil in the name of human rights and democracy," said Wang.
