CHINESE Uighur politician Xu Guixiang took the United States to task on Thursday over its “notorious human rights violations,” pointing out that it fails to reflect on its own shortcomings.
“The US has boasted of so-called universal values and portrayed itself as a fighter for democracy and a beacon of freedom and model for human rights. And it is always ready to lecture others,” the Xinjiang regional government spokesman told a video conference.
