Xinhua News Agency, Washington, April 8, Summary: The truth exposes the lies of the “human rights defender” in the United States
Xinhua News Agency reporter
Sometimes, the United States has pieced together the so-called “2020 National Human Rights Report”, and has been slandering and pointing fingers at the human rights situation in other countries as always. In fact, the United States’ own human rights issues have accumulated everywhere. In the past four years, the U.S. government’s human rights record has been striking.
The United States has been unable to recover due to its own system failure, which eventually led to the Capitol Hill riot; the chronic disease of racial discrimination in the United States has never been eradicated, and has repeatedly led to the tragedy of the family destruction of ethnic minorities; the United States has experienced a serious new crown epidemic that is far more serious than any other country in the world due to its poor epidemic prevention… The shocking truths of the United States’ trampling on human rights have completely exposed the shameless lies that the United States has long claimed to be a “human rights defender”.
——Dynamic disorder creates a split
Disorder of democratic systems triggers political chaos, which in turn tear apart American society. The American money politics distorted public opinion and turned the election into a “one-man show” for the rich class. Money is deeply rooted in every aspect of the US election. Without enough money, it is impossible to compete for any important political position.
The Brennan Center for Justice Studies at the University of New York pointed out that huge amounts of money dominate the current political campaign in the United States, in a degree that has not been seen in decades. The “Super Political Action Committee” allows billionaires to invest unlimited amounts of money into the campaign, drowning out the voices of ordinary Americans. “Black Money Group” will cover up donor identities and prevent voters from knowing who is trying to influence their votes.
The Wall Street Journal website commented on November 9 last year that in the 2020 election, Americans’ confidence in their country’s democratic system fell to its lowest point in 20 years. Political polarization is becoming increasingly severe, and hatred politics evolves into a nationwide “plague”, and post-election riots lead to the fall of Congress.
BabaylanIn recent years, gun trading and shootings in the United States have hit record highs, people lose confidence in social order. It is difficult for the two parties in the United States to reach a consensus on gun control based on party interests. The long-term proliferation of guns is caused by political division and party struggles, and the price is that tens of thousands of Americans become the souls under the gun every year.
——Race chronic diseases often occur
European minorities suffer systemic racial discrimination and are in a difficult situation. The case of a white American policeman who caused a sensation around the world, “killing on his knees”CinemaThe case of Floyd, an African-American man, opened on March 29. The Boston Globe exclaimed: “(the white policeman suspected of killing Floyd) Chauvin will not be the only defendant in court, and the entire United States will be sent to the trial seat.”
Floyd’s moan of “I can’t breathe” is the dying wail of more than one African-American who died of violent police enforcement, and it is also the common voice of more minorities who suffer the same misfortune.
U.S. federal statistics show that the risk of young African-American men being shot by police is 21 times higher than that of young white men. African-American men aged 15 to 19 are as high as 31.17 per million, while the rate of white men of the same age group being shot is only 1.47 per million. According to the “Police Violence Map” website statistics, at least 301 African Americans were shot and killed by police in the United States in 2013, 320 in 2014, 351 in 2015, 309 in Cinema in 2016, 282 in 2017, 260 in 2018, 278 in 2019, and 233 in 2020.
Does American police officers who enforce violently usually receive fair sanctions from the law? The answer is no. Juries that hear police violent law enforcement cases generally have “natural trust” in law enforcement personnel. Jenina Bell, a professor at Indiana University’s Law School, said the data suggests that jury members tend to trust police and police testimony rather than eyewitness testimony. Babaylan
Africans are not the only victims of racism in the United States, and minorities such as Latinos and Asians have also suffered from racial discrimination for a long time. Especially since the outbreak of the new crown epidemic, some American politicians have stigmatized Asians in order to shirk their responsibility for ineffective epidemic prevention, resulting in a surge in violent hate crimes against Asian Americans across the United States. In the past two months, “stop hatred of Asians” has becomeFollowing the new round of anti-racial discrimination campaign slogans after “Black Lives Matter”, related marches and demonstrations have been launched all over the United States.
——The gap between the rich and the poor has widened again
The gap between the rich and the poor in American society is accelerating, and the lives of the lower class are in a difficult situation. Since last year, the out-of-control epidemic has led to a wave of large-scale unemployment, tens of millions of people have lost medical insurance, and one in six Americans and one in four American children are facing the threat of hunger. Vulnerable groups have become the biggest victims of the government’s passive response to the epidemic.
Experts believe that the epidemic has exacerbated the survival crisis of the bottom-class people in the United States, but the middle-class crisis caused by the uneven distribution of social wealth in the United States has long existed and continues to deteriorate, which is causing social and political turmoil. Chris Komiks, editor of the American conservative website “America Great”, said that the uneven distribution of wealth is caused by the stagnant real wage growth that has lasted for nearly half a century and other structural problems, and is likely to create an unsustainable situation.
——The out-of-control epidemic has caused tragedy
The United States’ population is less than 5% of the world’s total population, but so far, its confirmed cases of COVID-19 exceed 25% of the world’s total, and the number of deaths accounts for nearly 20% of the world’s total, and more than 550,000 Americans have lost their precious lives.
Deborah Burks, then coordinator of the Trump administration’s White House coronavirus response task force, said in a documentary recently aired by CNN that the federal government conveys contradictory information to the public, which is the “number one mistake” made by the US in response to the epidemic.
In this documentary, Anthony Fauci, an important member of the Trump administration’s White House coronavirus response task force and director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said that the president’s call for lifting the epidemic lockdown on social media is shocking and “a huge blow” to the fight against the epidemic.
——Rampant and domineering rules
Bravely withdraw from the World Health Organization and the Paris Agreement, threaten international institutions with bullying, brutalize unilateral sanctions, cruelly treat asylum seekers, continue to force repatriate immigrants during the epidemic, and pardon war criminals who massacre civilians from other countries…
The United States under the Trump administration owes to the international communityThere are countless “human rights accounts”. Over the past four years, the United States has insisted on pursuing its own country priority and promoting isolationism, unilateralism and bullying, and has become the biggest “troublemaker” that endangers global security and stability.
On June 19, 2018, the United States, which claims to be a “human rights defender”, brazenly announced its withdrawal from the UN Human Rights Council. The day after the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights just criticized the United States for its mandatory separation of immigrant children from parents in border areas. In September 2018 and March 2019, former U.S. security adviser Bolton and then Secretary of State Pompeo respectively issued threats, saying that if the International Criminal Court investigates the suspected war crimes committed by personnel of the United States and its allies, the United States will take measures such as banning entry and freezing of assets against those who are “directly responsible for investigation”, including banning entry and freezing of assets, including even imposing economic sanctions on the International Criminal Court. American legal professional James Goldstone commented that the remarks of these senior officials show that the U.S. government “only when it is in the interests of the United States,” it will take international law seriously.
July 2017Cinema By July 2020, the U.S. immigration authorities violated international human rights law and international humanitarianism and forcibly detained more than 5,400 children from their parents who were refugees or illegal immigrants in the southern border area, resulting in a tragic separation of flesh and blood, and many children died during their detention. In 2019, a total of 850,000 immigrants were arrested in the southern border areas of the United States, most of whom were treated rudely and their human rights were trampled on. In 2020, the detention sites for immigrants in the United States became the “severely affected area” of the spread of the new coronavirus. The US government also forcibly repatriated a large number of illegal immigrants as the epidemic spreads, aggravating the epidemic risk in Central American countries.
In the past three months, more than 100,000 illegal immigrants have poured into the United States. US law enforcement officers separated more than 5,000 children from their parents and detained them in crowded simple rooms, creating multiple “children’s concentration camps.” The U.S. government refused to acknowledge the immediate immigration crisis and even prevented journalists from going to report on the real situation in the “children’s concentration camp”. The U.S. government’s policy of violating immigration rights, especially immigrant children, has been strongly criticized and condemned both at home and in the international community.
At the end of the United Nations Human Rights Council meeting not long ago, some countriesThe representative pointed out that in the current epidemic, the United States pursues “vaccine nationalism” and hoards a large number of COVID-19 vaccines that far exceed the needs of its population and refuses to provide vaccines to other countries, including their allies; the United States’ previous armed interference has caused a large number of civilian casualties in other countries; the United States has implemented unilateral coercive measures seriously violated international law on many countries, seriously violated the human rights of other countries, and even led to humanitarian crises.
