Human rights issues for Uighurs in Xinjiang, China and the origin of a novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19) were identified. All are issues against China. However, there is no correlation. However, China’s response logic is strangely similar. As China has done nothing wrong, but rather good results, the US is admonished to look back on my faults and not blame China.
① China, urged “active cooperation anytime” in words only

British Foreign Minister Dominic Rab urged China to conduct a field investigation in Xinjiang, saying, “I strongly demand an urgent and unrestricted access” to China at the UN Human Rights Council on the 22nd (local time). It means that the United Nations will directly investigate the human rights issue in China. At the same meeting, Foreign Minister Wang Yi said, “I welcome the visit of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights to Xinjiang.” It is an expression of confidence to respond to the international community’s verification with an open attitude.
However, it is Chinese-friendly people who are actually looking for Xinjiang. On the 23rd, China Daily said, “At a briefing held by the Chinese Communist Party in Urumqi, the capital city of Xinjiang the day before, representatives from 190 countries and 310 foreign political parties, groups, media, and think tanks attended, confirming the truth of various rumors that demean the development of China.” He said. However, the public comments of the participants were limited to some, including the Iraqi Communist Party secretary and the Turkish Patriot Party representative. These are countries that must suppress the Kurds around them by defining them as armed terrorism and extremist forces. It is similar to China’s dealings with the Uighurs.

The World Health Organization (WHO) took the same track. The Chinese government has always assured “will actively cooperate with the investigation”, but it took more than a year for the WHO team of experts to find Wuhan, the first outbreak of Corona 19. There are many back words about the results of the investigation. When China received an’indulgence’ saying, “Wuhan cannot be determined as the source of the coronavirus,” complaints about the pro-friendship of some experts involved in the investigation and the lukewarm cooperation of the Chinese government continue to rise.
② “Achieve remarkable results”… China is blurred in nature

Foreign Minister Wang stressed that “there has not been a terrorist incident in Xinjiang in the past 4 years.” The state-run Global Times added, “The population growth rate of Xinjiang Uyghurs from 2010 to 2018 was 25%, far ahead of the Han Chinese (2%) in the same region.” As the West points out, the situation is unstable or far from human rights suppression. He added, “Last year, 832 regions in China have escaped poverty.” He added, “After the enforcement of the security law in Hong Kong, 70% of residents found that they felt’safety than before.’” It is a method of blurring the essence by using all kinds of figures to show off China’s achievements.
In Ecatepec, near Mexico City, the Mexican capital, residents lined up to get the Corona 19 vaccine from China’s Sinobac Inc. The Mexican government plans to complete vaccinations for 15 million people, or 12% of the population, by mid-April.
This is similar to what the international community met when it raised the COVID-19’China’s responsibility theory’. China focused on the success of’quarantine’ by highlighting the march of ‘0’ confirmed cases in the mainland, turning attention to the influx of viruses abroad. China is also emphasizing that it has exported the corona vaccine to 22 countries and applied it to 53 countries. China’s corona vaccine production is expected to reach 2 billion doses this year and 4 billion doses next year. It is difficult to criticize China and make a decision in a situation where other countries cannot turn away from such a supply offensive.
③“The beauty is more of a problem”…passing responsibility outside

China is on the rise as the number of Corona 19 deaths in the United States exceeds 500,000. This is not the time for the US to talk about the human rights issue in China. In addition to the extreme cold, terrible human damage occurred throughout the United States, and China is using it as a counterattack material, saying, “I feel contempt for the confusion and hypocrisy of the United States.”
China made the same argument over the origin of the corona. Prior to the Wuhan outbreak in December of last year, for example, a study that the coronavirus was already found in the United States, Italy, and Spain, the position that follow-up investigations outside of China is necessary. On the 7th, China’s Ambassador to the United States, Chui Tiankai, said in an interview with CNN that a team of experts from WHO must visit the United States to uncover the origin of the virus.
