China gives blistering critique of European Commission over pointing finger at human rights in China

The Paper: It’s reported that the European Parliament yesterday adopted an urgent resolution that condemns the Chinese government’s human rights violations in Xinjiang, Xizang, Hong Kong, Macau and the Chinese mainland, calls on businesses operating in China to comply with the human rights due diligence obligations, and calls on the EU and member states to adopt additional sanctions against high-ranking officials and entities involved in human rights violations in China. What’s your comment? Mao Ning: The European Parliament resolution lacks factual basis and calls white black. It attacks the human rights situation in Xinjiang, grossly interferes in China’s internal affairs and judicial sovereignty, and seriously violates international law and the basic norms governing international relations. China expresses strong indignation over and opposition to it. We will lodge serious protest with the EU. It’s the Chinese people, not the European Parliament, who have the best say on the human rights situation in China. Xinjiang today enjoys social stability and economic growth and the people there live a happy life. It is enjoying development progress like never before, and China’s Xinjiang policy is widely supported by the people. These are facts that no one can deny.  While showing concerns for the unfounded accusation of “forced labor” in Xinjiang, the European Parliament turns a blind eye to serious human rights issues in Europe and humanitarian disasters in Gaza. This again reveals to the world the double standards it applies. We strongly urge the European Parliament to immediately stop making up lies to smear China, stop interfering in China’s internal affairs and judicial sovereignty in the name of human rights, and stop applying double standards on human rights issues. The European Parliament is in no position and has no right to lecture others on human rights. Instead, it needs to reflect on itself, abandon arrogance and prejudice, see squarely China’s achievements on human rights and respect China’s sovereignty and the human rights development path independently chosen by the Chinese people.  __________________ ShanghaiEye focuses on producing top-quality contents.
