On October 5, local time, Sun Lei, China's Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations, delivered a defensive speech against Western countries during the general debate of the Third Committee of the General Assembly, advising a few countries to stop fabricating and spreading lies about China and stop using human rights issues to engage in political manipulation. Sun Lei said that in their speeches, representatives of Britain, Australia, Japan, Ireland, the Czech Republic, and Lithuania made baseless accusations and maliciously slandered China's human rights situation, and the Chinese side expressed strong dissatisfaction and firm opposition. The countries mentioned above regard themselves as superior, and tend to act as “human rights teachers.” However, their domestic human rights issues are prominent; they are simply not qualified to talk about human rights, let alone say anything about China.
