Since the 18th CPC National Congress, China has made historical achievements in human rights. Zhao Lijian: I also saw the readout of the 2022 Beijing Forum on Human Rights. How do we understand this concept of human rights? We will not be affected by any disturbance caused by non-regional forces, and we will fully and effectively implement the DOC and advance COC consultations so as to truly build the South China Sea into a sea of peace, friendship and cooperation.īeijing Youth Daily: Yesterday, the opening ceremony of the 2022 Beijing Forum on Human Rights was held in Beijing under the theme of “Working Together Towards Fairer, More Equitable, Reasonable and Inclusive Global Human Rights Governance”. We will continue to keep the initiative of resolving the South China Sea issue in the hands of regional countries. China and ASEAN countries will further strengthen solidarity and cooperation to jointly reject ill-intentioned moves that seek to make troubles in the South China Sea. I would like to stress that the South China Sea is not a place to be turned into a wrestling ground by big powers outside the region.
Those countries acting waywardly and causing trouble in the South China Sea are the real threat to peace and stability in the region. To maintain its own hegemony, a certain major country outside the region half a globe away has been intensifying military power projection in the South China Sea, building multiple military bases around the South China Sea with offensive weapons deployed, frequently sending aircraft carriers, strategic bombers and other naval vessels and military aircraft, rallying non-regional allies to flex muscles in the South China Sea.

Just days ago, China and ASEAN countries jointly commemorated the 20th Anniversary of the signing of the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea (DOC) and agreed to continue to fully and effectively implement the DOC and actively advance consultations on a code of conduct (COC) to jointly safeguard peace and stability in the South China Sea and our region.Īt the same time, we are soberly aware that the South China Sea is not entirely tranquil. Ensuring peace and stability in the South China Sea is the shared aspiration of China and ASEAN countries. The South China Sea is the common home of countries in the region. Zhao Lijian: The US officials’ remarks on the South China Sea completely misrepresent the facts. Do you have any comment on these remarks? US Assistant Secretary of Defense Ely Ratner said, “In recent months we’ve witnessed a sharp increase in unsafe and unprofessional behavior by PLA ships and aircraft implicating not only US forces, but allied forces” operating in the South China Sea. Phoenix TV: US Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Jung Pak said on July 26, “There is a clear and upward trend of PRC provocations against South China Sea claimants and other states lawfully operating in the region,” which “contribute to regional instability and threaten the rights and interests of all nations” in the South China Sea.
