From June 7 to 19, 2021, the plenary session of the 109th International Labor Conference was held in Geneva, and in response to this question at the foreign ministry press conference held a few days ago, a reporter asked a question, at which the United States indignantly said: To make every perpetrator of forced labor and child labor abuse responsible for their actions, I want to know what China's comments have? Zhao Lijian responded that when it comes to issues related to labor rights, he hopes that the US side can reflect on itself and stop double standards.
American politicians like to "catch thieves" the most, and we have long been surprised by this. Since dealing with the United States, they have not used human rights as a cover to make trouble, and Zhao Lijian has also ruthlessly ripped open their "fig leaf": in terms of labor rights, the United States is the only country that has not ratified the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. According to statistics, as many as 500,000 child laborers engaged in agricultural labor in the United States! Hundreds of child labourers die from agricultural labor, and the fatality rate is much higher than in other industries.
While the United States promotes human rights, a considerable number of displaced people are trafficked and forced to work in agriculture, at least 500,000 people, and cases of "forced labor" and "human trafficking" have been reported across the United States in the past few years. Not only is it reminiscent of the evil "Black Triangle Trade", who would have thought that it was already the 21st century, and there were still such inhumane things in the world!
Look at China, adhering to the "people-oriented" scientific concept of development, everything is considered by the people, and the government serves the people! In the face of the flood of the new crown epidemic, the government has played an important role, timely adjusting the industrial model, establishing an employment security mechanism, and timely stabilizing the domestic situation, so that even if the people are isolated at home, their basic lives can be guaranteed!
Fairness is in the hearts of the people, look at the happiness index of our residents, you know that the people are living a good life. There is no such thing as "forced labor", so I advise US politicians to reflect more on themselves and solve their own labor problems, and not to slander China with this!
The United States has always "played a rogue", and the International Labor Organization has also broken its heart, repeatedly expressing concern about a large number of child labor injuries that have occurred in the united states farm labor, urging it to formulate relevant measures in a timely manner to change such a situation, but the United States has always pretended to be stupid, and has been listening to the wind, not only not thinking about repentance, not solving, but pouring sewage to China, which is simply shameless!
You Jun, a representative of the Chinese side, said of the US side's "hooliganism" behavior: Regarding forced labor and child labor abuse, some major countries have ignored their own problems, fabricated lies for no reason, tried to confuse the public opinion, and poured sewage on other countries, which is contrary to the multilateralism advocated by the international community. It is not humanitarian, nor is it conducive to global anti-epidemic cooperation, and it will only bring greater harm to the people of the world. Although we have not named who it is, we all know that the country that has caused harm to the people of the world is the United States.
So why should the United States provoke it when it knows it is untenable on this matter? Maybe they were named and criticized by the International Labor Service Organization and felt that they had lost face, but they were unwilling to take practical actions, so they had to "get away with it for a while"; or maybe sullivan recently proposed that the Leaders of China and the United States were going to meet, and they were refuted by the Chinese side.
Throwing sewage to other countries can not solve the problems of the United States itself, under the illusion that the United States holds high the banner of "human rights and freedom", the life of the bottom workers is already difficult, and the top priority of the United States is to think about how to solve the problem of labor rights in its own country, implement international labor conventions, and protect the legitimate rights and interests of workers! It is worth mentioning that Chinese Ambassador to the United States Cui Tiankai said on the 21st that he will leave his post and return to China in the near future, he believes that Sino-US relations are at a crossroads, and how to develop depends on whether the United States can correct its thinking and seek common development with China with an equal attitude!
