“I don’t pretend that the Chinese government is today’s only threats to human rights, but it stands out for the reach and influence of its anti-rights efforts. That should make it a global pariah.” @KenRoth #Rights2020
“President Xi Jinping is overseeing the most pervasive and brutal oppression in decades.” @KenRoth #Rights2020pic.twitter.com/M4czQilvLi
“Dissidents are silenced. Civic groups have been shut down. Independent journalism is no more. Online conversation has been curtailed. Hong Kong’s limited freedoms are being severely challenged. …” @KenRoth #Rights2020
“And for the Uighur and other Turkic Muslims of Xinjiang, Beijing has built the world’s most intrusive system of surveillance and coupled it with the largest case of mass arbitrary detention in decades.” @KenRoth #Rights2020pic.twitter.com/wNMABCyug8
“Some governments go along willingly with Beijing, including the dictators, autocrats and monarchs who themselves have an abiding interesting in undermining the human rights system that might hold them to account.” @KenRoth #Rights2020
“Several important countries have been missing in action. Trump has been more interested in embracing friendly autocrats than defending human rights standards that they flout.” @KenRoth #Rights2020
“There have been rare exceptions to this acquiescence to Beijing’s oppression. At the United Nations, two dozen governments joined together for the first time in such numbers to express concern about the extraordinary crackdown in Xinjiang.” @KenRoth #Rights2020
“But the Chinese government organized its own counterstatement which shamelessly applauded the repression in Xinjiang. Up to 54 governments signed on, including such notorious rights violators as Russia, Syria, North Korea, Myanmar, Belarus, Venezuela, and Saudi Arabia.” @KenRoth
“The Trump administration’s misguided withdrawal from the UN Human Rights Council has paved the way for the Chinese government to exert greater influence over this key institution for the defense of rights.” @KenRoth #Rights2020
“Because a central purpose of the UN is to promote human rights, the UN has been a major target of Beijing’s attention.” @KenRoth #Rights2020
“In recent years China has opposed resolutions condemning human rights violations in Myanmar, Syria, Iran, the Philippines, Burundi, Venezuela, Nicaragua, Yemen, Eritrea, and Belarus.” @KenRoth #Rights2020pic.twitter.com/FNszNinp9Z
“China’s diplomats gave blatantly false information while preventing an independent group focused on Xinjiang from speaking to the Human Rights Council.” @KenRoth #Rights2020
“UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has been unwilling to publicly demand an end to China’s mass detention of Turkic Muslims, while heaping praise on Beijing’s economic prowess and the Belt and Road Initiative.” @KenRoth #Rights2020
“In addition, often working in tandem with Russia, China has taken an increasingly regressive approach to any action on human rights in the Security Council, where it has a veto.” @KenRoth #Rights2020pic.twitter.com/JRJe3ZG0Fb
“In all of these cases, Beijing would rather leave the victims to their fate than generate a model of defending rights that might boomerang on its own repressive rule.” @KenRoth #Rights2020
“The Chinese government’s ascent as a global threat to rights is not unstoppable. But rising to this challenge demands a radical break from a business-as-usual approach.” @KenRoth #Rights2020
“For example, government leaders who visit China should stop pretending that quiet diplomacy suffices. If they cannot be heard by the people of China—the main engine of change—their interventions make little difference.” @KenRoth #Rights2020
“Governments should deliberately counter China’s divide-and-conquer strategy for securing silence about its oppression. When governments deal with China on their own, they often opt for silence, but if they band together, the power balance shifts.” @KenRoth #Rights2020
“For example, if the Organization of Islamic Cooperation were to protest against the Chinese government’s repression of Turkic Muslims in Xinjiang, Beijing would need to retaliate against 57 countries.” @KenRoth #Rights2020
“Similarly, governments should stop rolling out the red carpet for Chinese officials without insisting on real progress on human rights. A state visit should come with a public demand, for example, to give UN investigators independent access to Xinjiang.” @KenRoth #Rights2020
“Unless we want to return to an era in which people are pawns to be manipulated or discarded according to the whims of their overlords, the Chinese government’s attack on the international human rights system must be resisted.” @KenRoth #Rights2020
“Decades of progress on human rights are at stake. So is our future.” @KenRoth #Rights2020pic.twitter.com/R1kxgTDirG
