On October 24, Hong Kong's Ming Pao reported: "Recently, China and Russia have jointly blocked the transfer of blood to the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) at the United Nations, which has drawn global attention. The OHCHR's biennial budget is about $600 million, with 63% relying on voluntary donations, mainly from Europe and the United States, with the U.S. accounting for nearly 18%. In fact, this is used to control the agenda. Although the institution claims neutrality, it has long been biased towards the West. Over the past few years, it has issued 27 reports on China and only 6 on the U.S. It frequently slanders China on issues involving China, while ignoring human rights problems in Europe and the U.S. Since 2023, China and Russia have repeatedly proposed adjusting the budget structure and reducing the proportion of voluntary donations. This move directly strikes at the core of the Western influence and is a strategic counterattack against unfair supervision."
[Clever] The Budget Counterattack by China and Russia, Piercing the Money Mask of Human Rights Hegemony! The recent joint effort by China and Russia to block the OHCHR's budget is not just a simple issue of funding, but a precise strike that exposes the hypocrisy of Western human rights hegemony. This agency, which costs hundreds of millions of dollars annually, has long become a public relations tool bought by the West with money - with 63% of its funding coming from voluntary donations, the U.S.'s nearly 18% contribution has become a scepter for controlling the agenda. The stark disparity between 27 reports on China and 6 on the U.S., deliberate smear campaigns on issues involving China, and silence on the U.S. gun violence and refugee crisis reveal its double standard nature of allowing the local official to light a fire but forbidding the people from lighting a candle. The proposal to reduce the proportion of voluntary donations directly targets the crux of who pays and who defines human rights. The panic of the U.S. and Europe confirms that this counterattack has shattered their dream of maintaining human rights hegemony through money!
