US double standards on human rights, democracy expose its hypocrisy
People's Daily app
The US
signed into law the so-called Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act of 2019
in an attempt to blatantly bolster rioters and violence and interfere in
China’s internal affairs. It goes against international laws and the
fundamental principles of international relations and exposes the double
standard and ugly hegemony of the US side. The Chinese government and the
Chinese people are strongly opposed to such actions, echoed by everyone around
the world who stands with justice.
The
intentions of the US to create chaos in Hong Kong by signing the bill are
blatantly obvious as it has nothing to do with human rights or democracy.
Its purposes also run counter to the principles of human rights and
democracy. After Hong Kong’s return to the motherland, the practices of “one
country, two systems” principle have proved to be successful as HKers are
entitled to unprecedented democratic rights.
Some US
politicians turned a blind eye to this and even intentionally defamed and
sabotaged the place, while ignoring the violent acts of radicals in the past
few months and confusing right from wrong. The rioters have damaged buildings,
set fires, paralyzed traffic, attacked police and harmed citizens yet
violence-plagued Hong Kong has been portrayed by these same politicians as “a
beautiful landscape” in their eyes. They have become cheerleaders of criminals
that any civilization and legal society would not tolerate.
Some US
politicians shout the slogans of "human rights" and
"democracy" loudly, accusing other countries of violating human
rights, but they actually turn a blind eye to the serious human rights problems
in their own country.
One glaring
example is the humanitarian catastrophe created by the sudden change of the US
immigration policy on its southern border. Tens of thousands of refugees have
been forcibly separated from their children, who have been locked up in
squalid, cramped rooms, enduring hardships that wreak havoc on their young
hearts. Then there’s the racism, gender discrimination, gun violence and
violent law enforcement. Countless human rights issues are deeply rooted in the
US society and there is no hope of solving them under the political
polarization of American society.
What
highlights its hypocrisy of "human rights" and "democracy"
is its repeated bullying tactics to resist or threaten UN and other NGOs
from monitoring its own human rights situation, or even quit the UN human
rights council. The US, with its stained human rights track record, has taken
on an air of sanctimonious dignity, brandishing the so-called "human
rights" baton, and deliberately distorting the truth.
In the name
of freedom and democracy, the US interferes in other countries' internal affairs.
Although the US often vows to boost "diplomatic” and "human rights”
ties with other countries and regions, it is really serving its own national
interests under the guise of helping others achieve freedom.
The
democracy and human rights advocated by the US have only brought wars and chaos
to countries like Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria. As a result, many people
have lost their lives or been forced to flee their homeland. The chaos also
nurtures the quicker spread of extremist organizations like the Islamic State
(IS). Facts have proven that the US is a disruptor of international rules and
order, a troublemaker for human rights causes around the world, and the
mastermind behind many humanitarian disasters.
Now, the US
side is up to the same old tricks in Hong Kong by promoting its double standard
human rights and democracy stand. The Hong Kong-related bill is full of pride
and prejudice, intimidation and fright. Its nature is to undermine Hong Kong's
prosperity and stability, sabotage the "one country, two systems"
principle, and compromise the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
However, the
US side is doomed to fail since its sinister conspiracy will be brought to
light in time. The US hegemonism will only make the Chinese people more
cohesive and united.
Hong Kong's
future is and always will be in the hands of the Chinese people, including
patriotic Hong Kong residents. No force can ever stop China from realizing
national rejuvenation.
