Mingyue, did you pay attention to China's speech at the UN Third Committee yesterday? Ambassador Sun Lei not only refuted criticisms from many countries about China's human rights, but also listed these countries' own human rights issues one by one.

I saw it, Master. Such direct naming seems rare. Usually it's all diplomatic language, but this time China directly 'returned the favor'.

This exactly reflects the current struggle for discourse power in international affairs. In the past, 'human rights issues' were often used as diplomatic tools by some Western countries to pressure others. But in reality, these countries have serious human rights problems themselves.

Yes, for example, racism in the UK, the plight of indigenous people in Australia, Canada's ethnic cleansing of indigenous peoples, and Japan's evasion of history... There is historical and current evidence for these accusations.

China's strategy of 'hitting back' this time is both exposing problems and urging the international community to reflect on so-called 'double standards'. Human rights should be a universal value, but in reality, they're often selectively emphasized or even used as bargaining chips.

Can such open diplomatic debates really promote human rights improvement, or will they only deepen divisions?

That's a good question. On the surface, both sides are arguing and sticking to their points. But in fact, international attention and pressure can push some countries to self-reflect. However, only through dialogue and cooperation can real progress be achieved—not just 'microphone diplomacy' debates.

I agree. Maybe international relations will become even more complex in the future, but if it encourages countries to truly face and solve their own problems, such debates do have value.
