BEIJING, Jan. 19 (Xinhua) Ministry of Foreign Secretary, Chen Xu BEIJING guest today, to “develop multilateral diplomacy to build a harmonious world” users interact with the subject line. Chen Xu talking about human rights issues, pointed out that Western countries should adopt a positive, objective and comprehensive approach to look at China’s development and progress, “applied by the human rights to China, undermining China’s social stability is futile, it is impossible to achieve the purpose of. “

Chen Xu said that human rights are closely related with people’s lives. Human rights is never abstract, it includes not only the right to information, expression, the right to vote, including civil and political rights, including the right to work, health, subsistence and other economic social and cultural rights and development.

“then a country’s human rights situation and the country’s historical and cultural background, economic development and other factors are closely related, we have always advocated in the international economic, social and cultural rights and civil and political rights are equally important, especially for developing countries, the survival, development is the primary human rights, otherwise the skin, the hair stand. “Chen Xu said.

Chen Xu said that human rights are not absolute, and to promote and protect human rights are not universal model, the key is to close with the national situation, otherwise there will be, compared with Orange Orange Health Huainan Huaibei was born in orange case.

“Western democracy and human rights, their set of practices in Asia and some African countries, a phenomenon often be acclimatized. So some Western countries keen to talk about universal values, requiring all countries to pursue with them the same concept of human rights, it should be said that in itself is an undemocratic unreasonable, so China has been exploring a development path in line with national conditions, “Chen Xu said,” If we are to take a dogmatic approach, copy Western theory and practice, then certainly his ultimate injury. “

China’s human rights situation what would happen? In this regard, Chen Xu said, “I would like to have the final say or the masses, now we are free to choose to work, to travel abroad, through the micro-Bo exchange of ideas, comment on the draft law to the NPC, rural residents can also vote for their mayor and secretary services, etc.. “

Chen Xu stressed that China’s human rights progress and improvement, not only our people can truly feel the international community is obvious, so we human development and progress by the international community widely praised.

for some Western countries are still bent on distorting the human rights situation in China, criticizing China’s human rights back, Chen Xu analyzed, one reason for thinking the Cold War, a number of countries to ideological line. Although the Cold War for decades, but some Westerners still do not give up the fight with the problem of thinking to think;

second is still a lack of understanding of China, many Westerners have never been to China, read alone several books and several articles on the human rights situation in China that have a comprehensive understanding, so can not make an objective evaluation;

Third, some people for political purposes, China development and construction attracted worldwide attention, but some Western countries in the world we do not pleasing to the eye, with their so-called moral high ground to make irresponsible remarks, they often get a few things for the criminal justice cases, is incomplete.

“should be said that China as a tree, lush, deep-rooted, which is good for China itself, the development of the whole world is also good, some Western countries, only staring at some of the criminal justice case, while the development of China to take a sweeping approach, which is not desirable. “Chen Xu said.

Chen Xu said the criticism of Western countries, for different situations, we respond, the lack of understanding of China’s state, we dialogue on human rights, bilateral exchanges about our position, policy, and the actual situation, also try to arrange a look around to go to foreign workers, to deepen our understanding of the malicious accusations of state we have determined to be the top back, asking them to eliminate prejudices, abandon Cold War thinking, follow the historical trend.

Chen Xu stressed that without a perfect human rights situation in the country, China is a developing country with 1.3 billion people, the difficulties and challenges unimaginable. In the promotion and protection of human rights, we do have a long way to go, then thirty years of reform and opening up process, we are feeling the stones, there are successes and experiences, many of the problems we now face are said to be process of reform and development problems, can only continue to deepen reform and promote development gradually be resolved.

“I have a belief in the joint efforts of all Chinese people, China’s human rights situation will get better and better.” Chen Xu said.
