6:31 pm
we've brought to account for its crimes. ah, i british manager, welcome to d, w, and use asia. ledger could join us a sitting prominent member of the un security council. good, have committed crimes against humanity. that's the assessment of the un human rights office. last night it released a report into china's treatment of its most em weaker population in north western she jung province. the report accuses begging of the following as part of its policies to fight terrorism in the region. it says china committed, serious human rights violations in shin jang. it sites are tons of torture, including sexual violence inside detention camps, which b gene calls vocational training centers. the report also called arbitrary and discriminate, treat the detention of wiggers and other must modalities in the region. the
6:32 pm
un human rights office has also call for all detainees to be released. interestingly, in response to the 40 it paid you and report china issued its own $122.00 page report defending its actions engine jane. but there was also a letter of preceding it in which china said the following. and i quote, based on the disinformation and lies fabricated by antique china forces and out of presumption of guilt. the so called assessment distorts, john as laws and policies, wantonly smears and slanders china and interferes in china's internal affairs. and the anti china narrative was repeated later in the day by the foreign ministry, beijing, which among other things also accused the un human rights office of being caught a hug, an accomplice of the us and the west, if you go to the so called assessment is orchestrated and manufactured by the u. s

. and some western forces if it is illegal and invalid. the report is a hodgepodge of misinformation that serves as a political tool of the us and the west. to strategically use sion janet to contain china. we don't know we're trying to contain china. china certainly try to contain the un report. reuters reported on how china try to build pressure. on former high commission i michel bus really to betty the report. she spoke of tremendous pressure she was facing, but promised to release the report before her tom expired and it was released yesterday just minutes before her 4 year term ended. with the report now out, correspondent for been crushed in beijing explained what it meant for china. when many of the sex were already well documented before, but the u. n. report gives it a whole new level of authenticity and also urgency. and yet it's,
6:34 pm
or i would say that and the report is very strong because it's not only based under a witness of human rights victims, but it's also based largely on official data government data. and that puts the chinese government in a really a weak spot because they always are deny any wrong doing and but, and, and it don't even agree on the facts. but if most of the information is provided by the government itself, and that doesn't really make a lot of sense. so really the, the pressure against her against aging is really increasing. and what will happen probably is a bit out. the government here will ramp up and censorship. i don't think that the criticism will find its way into the chinese public discourse and also probably seating ping, the state leader will m a ramp up and the nationalism here, because in 6 weeks there's a historic party congress during which he will most likely proclaim a 3rd term in office and during their time am yet a stability is key for the leadership here and they don't want to deal with any criticism or anything that
