Aug 31, 20200:50Now PlayingOn Friday, Foreign Minister Wang Yi met with President Emmanuel Macron, and the French leader raised concerns about China’s human rights record in dealing with pro-democracy demonstrators in Hong Kong and ethnic Uighurs in Xinjiang.
Wang Sunday reiterated China’s defense, saying Beijing new security long for Hong Kong aimed to end chaos in the former British colony. Muslim Uighurs sent to detention camps in China were sent there for job training and had been released, Wang said, Associated Press reported.
China is looking to push back against a U.S. campaign to convince allies to shun cooperation with Beijing. The Chinese minister kicked off a week-long European tour Tuesday that includes stops in Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, France and Germany. The trip comes after U.S. Secretary of State Michael Pompeo used a recent European trip to warn that China poses a greater threat than Russia.
On Saturday, Wang met with the Foreign Affairs Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian, who said topics discussed included climate change, the food, aeronautics and nuclear industries, as well as political developments in Mali, Lebanon, North Korea and Iran.
“The minister reiterated our position on respect for international law in the South China Sea,” and “France’s serious concerns about the deterioration of the human rights situation in China, particularly in Hong Kong and Xinjiang,” Le Drian said in a statement.
