Allies Defend China from Uyghur Genocide Condemnation at U.N. Human Rights Council

Several nations, including Russia, Ukraine, Ethiopia, and Iran, commended China’s human rights progress at a UN review, despite criticism from the US, UK, and some Western states regarding the ongoing genocide and repression in China.

The Chinese Foreign Ministry celebrated the positive feedback, with over 120 countries acknowledging China’s efforts and historic achievements in human rights.

This support was attributed to the leadership of the Communist Party and socialism with Chinese characteristics, according to the Chinese spokesperson.

The 2023 U.N. Human Rights Council is now in session.

🇨🇺 Cuba
🇶🇦 Qatar
🇨🇳 China
🇸🇩 Sudan

I wish I were making this up. I'm not. Today, 70% of UNHRC are non-democracies. #75UDHR

“We condemn the ongoing genocide and crimes against humanity in Xinjiang and transnational repression to silence individuals abroad,” American representative Michèle Taylor said.

A British counterpart pushed China to “cease the persecution and arbitrary detention of Uyghurs and Tibetans and allow genuine freedom of religion or belief and cultural expression without fear of surveillance, torture, forced labour or sexual violence.”

“We commend China’s commitment to the promotion of humanity’s common values which embrace universal and inalienable human rights,” the Ukrainian representative was reported to have said.

“Parties widely commended China’s open and candid attitude and generally spoke positively of China’s achievements in human rights,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said.

“More than 120 countries spoke highly of China’s human rights progress, and fully acknowledged China’s effort and historic achievements in advancing and protecting human rights,” he added.

“In China, the people are the masters, human rights are enjoyed equally by all, and that the fundamental interests of the people can be realized, protected and advanced,” Wenbin said.
