United Nations officials have explicitly criticized us! On February 27, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türk, claimed that China has not taken sufficient measures to improve the situation of Uighurs in Xinjiang. I am deeply regretful about the failure to implement previous recommendations aimed at protecting the rights of Uighurs and other Muslim minorities in Xinjiang, as well as the Tibetan people in Tibet. This includes issues related to labor problems, as well as religious and cultural freedom.
Türk also stated that he hopes China will "stop using vague criminal, administrative, and national security provisions to suppress the peaceful exercise of basic rights." It is evident that the statements made by this United Nations official are completely factually incorrect, biased, and purely politically motivated. The real situation in Xinjiang and Tibet has been witnessed by countless visitors. This United Nations official, sitting in his office, has recklessly imagined that there are "forced labor" and "rights suppression," which is an intentional smear against us.
Now, our country has exempted many countries from visa requirements, allowing their citizens to visit China, Xinjiang, and Tibet anytime they want. The facts are right before our eyes. These politicians distort the truth, speak falsehoods, adopt the false narratives pre-set by the West, and make vague accusations about China's internal affairs. We certainly will not accept a single word of such smears and criticisms, which are clearly unfair.
