🇨🇳 China tells U.N. Human Rights Council that “the people in Hong Kong enjoy a wide range of rights and freedoms.”

Congratulations to 🇨🇳 China on its election to the U.N. Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, which in the past cited credible reports that 1 million Muslim Uyghurs in China are being held in what resembles a “massive internment camp that is shrouded in secrecy.” pic.twitter.com/GdLC1Qg4xh

🇨🇳 China to UN: “Tibetan cultural traditions are promoted and protected, and human rights of all ethnic groups are protected.”
Fact-check: #False. Forced assimilation and erasure of Tibetan language and culture constitute human rights abuses.https://t.co/a8vwjjO0ec @jltib88 pic.twitter.com/pskiZbngoz

Meet Dr. Wang Bingzhang, the first Chinese citizen to earn a Ph. D. in North America, at McGill. Then he founded the first pro-democracy magazine in Chinese. On a visit to Vietnam in 2002, Beijing agents kidnapped him. He's been locked up in China for 20 years. pic.twitter.com/dyUUClbX9C

China opposes tomorrow's U.N. Security Council meeting on North Korea’s dire human rights situation, the first since 2017, because it will only “intensify confrontation and antagonism.” China sees “no added value for such a meeting and will be against it.” https://t.co/FUcnV9j97u

Election date won't be made official until the UNGA opens in September, but it will likely take place in mid-October. China always wins election to the Human Rights Council. I think that's an abomination. What do you think?
