CHINA-US: HUMAN RIGHTS

 China's Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations Office at Geneva, Fu Cong reacted forcefully at the United States, saying “The US is notorious for prison abuse at Guantanamo prison, its gun violence is rampant, racism is its deep-rooted malaise. The US conducts large-scale extra-territorial eavesdropping, uses drones to attack other countries’ innocent civilians, its troops on foreign soil commit rape and murder of local people. It conducts kidnapping overseas and uses black prisons.” He was reacting to the joint statement issued by the US with 11 other countries slamming China over the disappearances of five Hong Kong booksellers. US Ambassador Keith Harper had expressed concern about the “unexplained recent disappearances and apparent coerced returns of Chinese and foreign citizens from outside mainland China”, saying they called into question China’s commitment to its “one country, two systems” principle for Hong Kong.
