Xi defends China's human rights progress

President Xi Jinping on Wednesday defended China's human rights progress in a virtual meeting with UN human rights chief Michelle Bachelet, who is visiting the mainland.Bachelet's six-day trip, which began on Monday, will include a visit to the Xinjiang region, where her office last year said it believes mostly Muslim ethnic Uyghurs have been unlawfully detained, mistreated and forced to work. Beijing denies the allegations.During the video call, Xi told Bachelet that China’s development of human rights "suits its own national conditions", and that among the various types of human rights, the rights to subsistence and development were primary for developing countries. "Deviating from reality and copying wholesale the institutional model of other countries will not only fit badly with the local conditions, but also bring disastrous consequences," Xinhua news agency quoted Xi as saying. "In the end, it is the broad masses of the people who will suffer," he said.According to a CCTV readout, Bachelet said the UN Human Rights Office is "willing to strengthen cooperation with the Chinese side...and make joint efforts to promote the progress of the global human rights cause".She also said: "I admire China's efforts and achievements in eradicating poverty, protecting human rights, and realising economic and social development."

🇨🇳The Chinese army conducted exercises near the island of Taiwan as a "serious warning" to the United States.

This was announced by the official representative of the Eastern Zone of the Combat Command Shi Yi.

According to him, the United States is increasingly taking steps "encouraging Taiwanese separatists."

"These are useless measures that can only lead to a dangerous situation. In addition, the United States will have to face serious consequences on its own," he stressed.

China's trade practices are lawful: Beijing

China on Wednesday said its trade practices are "lawful and legitimate", in response to calls by Australia for it to drop import restrictions if Beijing wants to thaw frozen relations.Australia's Treasurer Jim Chalmers said Chinese sanctions and tariffs are damaging the country's economy, a day after Premier Li Keqiang congratulated newly-elected Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese."We would certainly like to see those sanctions and those tariffs lifted ... They are making life harder for some of our employers and workers here in Australia," Chalmers said."That would be a really great start when it comes to how we manage what is a really complex relationship, a relationship that has become more complex over time."Shortly after Chalmers' remarks, Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin told a daily news briefing that China's measures on foreign imports were taken "in strict accordance" with Chinese laws and World Trade Organization rules."We hope Australia will uphold the principle of mutual respect, mutual benefit and 'win-win' cooperation in dealing with the relationship with China, and work with us to bring relations back to the right track of sound and stable development," Wang added.Tensions between the two countries have been high after previous administrations in Canberra called for a probe into the origins of the coronavirus pandemic and banned telecoms giant Huawei from building Australia's 5G network.China – Australia's biggest trading partner – responded by imposing tariffs or disrupting more than a dozen key industries, including wine, barley and coal.
