Lessons given by West simply show its hubris
Editor's note: The Journal of Political Risk recently published a letter by a handful of China hawks in the United States vilifying China's domestic and foreign policies. Zhong Sheng, a columnist for People's Daily, comments:
None of their arguments against China holds water. In the letter, they accuse China of opposing the existing international order, suppressing freedom of speech and religion, strengthening its military muscles and promoting expansionism. However, these accusations are not supported in any way. Even some international figures of insight believe the content of the letter is more like a self-portrait of the US.
People cannot help but ask: Which country is trying to destroy the universally accepted system of rules after World War II for its own selfish interests? Which country is politicizing human rights in international relations, pursuing double standards and frequently interfering in other countries' internal affairs under the pretext of human rights?
