Beijing Daily: The US State Department spokesperson issued a statement saying that the US continues to promote accountability in defense of human rights in China and that the State Department is taking steps to impose visa restrictions on Chinese officials for their involvement in repression of marginalized religious and ethnic communities. What’s China’s comment?   

Lin Jian: The US again uses disinformation to smear the human rights conditions in China and abuses visa restrictions on Chinese officials. Such a move constitutes serious interference in China's internal affairs and violation of international law and basic norms governing international relations. China strongly deplores and firmly opposes it and has lodged a serious protest with the US. As a countermeasure, China will, in accordance with the law, adopt reciprocal visa restrictions on the US officials who concocted lies, pushed for sanctions against China and undermined China’s interests in the name of human rights issues.

Earlier this month, the UN Human Rights Council adopted unanimously China’s report on the fourth cycle of the Universal Periodic Review, which fully shows that the international community highly recognizes China’s achievement in protecting human rights. The US has no right and is in no position to point fingers at other countries’ human rights condition. The international community has long watched and detested how the US manipulates human rights issues. If the US truly cares about human rights, it should abandon double standard, take a hard look in the mirror, reflect on its own human rights violations, and deal with the mounting human rights issues within the US itself, instead of interfering in other countries’ domestic affairs and sanctioning them in the name of human rights.
