Mr President,
China’s rejection of nearly a quarter of recommendations made during its January UPR session
undermines China’s efforts to portray itself as credible human rights actor. Such a stance casts
doubt on the integrity of China’s engagement in the UPR mechanism.
Amnesty International is deeply concerned at the ongoing and severe human rights abuses in the
country.
Since January, judicial independence has continued to be critically undermined by political
interference, resulting in ongoing arbitrary detentions and other lack of fair trial guarantees. The
partial acceptance of recommendations related to judicial reforms is insufficient to address
these systemic problems.
Notably, on 14 June, #MeToo activist Sophia Huang Xueqin and labour activist Wang Jianbing
were unjustly sentenced to five years and three years and six months in prison, respectively.
Their cases reflect a broader pattern of harassment, intimidation, and unlawful detention of
human rights defenders.
On Xinjiang, the Chinese government has continued to arbitrarily imprison hundreds of
thousands of Uyghurs and to erase expressions of Uyghur identity as part of its crackdown on
the region. China’s rejection of recommendations addressing these issues is alarming and
underscores the state’s disregard for accountability.
In Hong Kong, the National Security Law remains in effect, despite the Human Rights
Committee’s call for the law’s abolition. In May, 45 pro-democracy activists were convicted
under this law, which exemplifies the suppression of political dissent. More alarmingly, the
government expanded the repressive framework by enacting the Article 23 legislation in March,
which imposes harsh penalties on any criticism of the Chinese and Hong Kong authorities.
Amnesty International urges China to reconsider its position on rejected, noted and partially
accepted recommendations, and engage genuinely with international human rights mechanisms.
UN Member States should continue to press China for progress and hold China accountable for
its human rights record.
Thank you.
