GENEVA, Nov. 7-- China's Vice Foreign Minister Le Yucheng on Tuesday said that China's perspective on human rights has been widely understood, recognized and supported. China's human rights record was examined for the third time by the UN Human Rights Council's Universal Periodic Review mechanism here on Tuesday, following the previous two reviews in 2009 and 2013, respectively. China sent a delegation composed of representatives from nearly 20 ministries, Xinjiang and Tibet autonomous regions, and the governments of Hong Kong and Macao special administrative regions to participate in Tuesday's review. Le, also head of the Chinese delegation, said during an interview with Xinhua that among the 150 countries that spoke during the review, more than 120 countries expressed their support for and appreciation of China's human rights progresses. According to Le, China's approach to human rights development with Chinese characteristics and its point of view such as "no security, no human rights,""development is a primary human right,""poverty reduction helps human rights promotion" and "cooperation for human rights," have aroused strong resonance and wide recognition during the review. "During the past 40 years of reform and opening-up, China has consistently combined the universality and particularity of human rights, adhered to the mutual promotion of democracy and people's livelihood, and pioneered a path of human rights development with Chinese characteristics in line with its own conditions," he said. |
