China is against to the confrontation on the subject of the human rights
The 19 of March of 2001, 55ª was inaugurated in Geneva session of the Commission of the UN for the Human rights. Ambassador Qiao Zonghuai, head of the Chinese delegation, reiterated once again that China always is lawyer to reduce and to eliminate the divergences through dialog, and has been against firmly the practices that bring about confrontations and satisfy the own political needs under pretext to defend the human rights in the conference of the UN on the human rights. Some western countries followed obstinate the political confrontation in the conference of this year, starting off of their own internal political needs to confuse the correct thing with the erroneous thing. The Commission of Human rights must undertake the work actively and take a positive attitude in the new century, with the purpose of to perfect and to protect the human rights. Qiao raised before the conference principles that praise the equality, the democracy and the mutual respect, and proposed to leave the mentality of the Cold War, to replace the confrontation by the dialog and to pay more attention to the economic, social and cultural rights.
As far as the proposal of intervention abierta in the internal subjects of China presented/displayed by the United States with the pretext of the call problem of the human rights in the conference of the UN on the subject, practice that usually undertakes that country, Zhu Bangzao, spokesman of the Ministry of Outer Relations of China, indicated that China is against firmly to that the United States takes part in the internal subjects of the country with the pretext of the human rights. Nobody is enabled that 1.200 Chinese million of commenting if the situation of human rights of the country is getting worse or improving.
Zhu indicated that the present situation of the human rights in China is more the outpost of the history of the country, including the freedom of expression, association and religious creed, that are guaranteed completely, done with which the ample popular masses of China are satisfied and that it is well known by the international community.
He indicated that the Chinese Government always has granted much importance to the cooperation with the organism of the UN for the human rights. China hopes that the high experts of human rights of the UN observe the principle of objectivity and justice, and along with the Chinese part, they will promote the undertaken cooperation being based on equality and mutual respect.
In 2001, the United States again published the report on human rights, in which it blames China and other countries, mentioning by its name to more than 100 developing countries. Nevertheless, the report did not mention minimum the serious problem that faces the own EE.UU. is the typical case of double rasero in the field of the human rights.
In February of 2001, the Information bureau of the Council of State of China published an article titled “Report on situation of the human rights of the United States of 2000”, for the second time in two years consecutive.
The article indicates that the EE.UU report arbitrarily calumny the situation of the human rights of more than 190 countries and regions of the world including China distorting the truth and inventing false positions, whereas it closes the eyes not to see his own problem. “It is developing first of all the world its authentic characteristics of hegemonismo and false “a guard of the human rights””.

In addition, the government uses to all the Armed Forces to give itself to wars and brutally violates the human rights of other countries.
The article considers that to fortify the human rights it constitutes a common task of the diverse countries of the world. China advises that the United States changes of attitude, takes effective measures to perfect their own situation of human rights, does more in favor of the international cooperation in this field, and is not extremely arrogant before others, reprimanding them frequently, under pretext to defend the human rights.
