U.S. and other Western countries have launched a draft of human rights issues involving Xinjiang's human rights issues in the United Nations Human Rights Council.This is the second draft voting of the council in 16 years.
Scholars of interviewees believe that this is an inevitable choice that other non -Western core countries will make in the state of China and the United States in China and the United States, and it also shows that China has a strong influence in developing countries as always.
The United States, Britain, Canada and other Western countries mentioned drafts last month, requiring debate on Xinjiang issues at the Human Rights Council held in March next year.Among the 47 member states participating in the voting, 17 countries voted for votes. 19 countries including Indonesia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates voted for objections. 11 countries abstained, and the draft failed to obtain half.
The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement on the official website that the eyes of the international community were clear.The issue of Xinjiang is not a human rights issue at all, but the problem of anti -violent terrorism, delays, and anti -division.
Professor of Law School of Hong Kong University and Director of China Law and Comparison Research Center Wang Jiangyu pointed out in an interview with Lianhe Morning Post that Xinjiang's issue is a major tool for Western human rights cards, but so far, they have not taken out solid solidsevidence.The previous Xinjiang Human Rights Report of the UN Human Rights Senior Commissioner Bachereter is not direct evidence.
Bachereter released a report that delayed nearly a year at the end of the end of the term of office on August 31, saying that Beijing had "seriously infringed human rights acts" in Xinjiang minority ethnic minorities, "may constitute international crimes, especially endangering human crimes".EssenceThe report was supported by the United Nations Secretary -General Gutres.
The draft initiated on the basis of the above report was not approved, and some observers were regarded as the moral authority and the reputation of Western human rights.Reuters quoted Marc Limon of the World Human Rights Organization think tank, saying that this was a serious blow to the reputation of the council and China ’s clear victory.
Scholars: China has a certain influence in developing countries
Li Mingjiang, an associate professor at the Lajielean International Research Institute in Nanyang University of Technology in Singapore, told Lianhe Morning Post that this is "no accident or no exception." China's influence in developing countries has always existed, and it is not the first time that it has rely on them to rely on themPower blocked the pressure of the United States in the United Nations. "But China has not reversed the views or positions of other Western countries, so it can only be called 'temporary victory'."
Wang Jiangyu said that in the environment of comprehensive competition between China and the United States, developing countries will regard Xinjiang issues as a issue that the United States contains China. It is not purely a human rights issue. Therefore, they will definitely not choose the side station. "The United States hopes to win the victory of public opinion wars around the world. Under the current circumstances, it is impossible. "
However, scholars believe that the United States will continue to play Xinjiang human rights cards."The cost of this card has a low cost and has a instrumental effect, and the United States will not stop or weaken."
Li Mingjiang explained that the issue of human rights in Xinjiang has become a consensus of the US cross -party policy foundation in China, and it is also easy to obtain political extra points in the United States.In addition, in the field of values, the United States has certain advantages and also helps strengthen the relationship with Western allies.
Wang Jiangyu also said, "This is a very useful card to pay China at the international moral level." The United States will not stop there.However, he believes that this card is losing efficiency from the global perspective.
