Simple...to the point...utterly predictable...Trump is making it so easy for China to look like a stand up world leader.
We withdrew from the UN Human Rights Council....what are we doing in its stead??
What plan did our UN Ambassador put forth yesterday as a world alternative to the UN Human Rights Commission? What program is the US putting in place to assert our leadership position as it relates to human rights?
Nothing.
Trump withdraws from everything...and has nothing...not a single alternative idea, proposal or concept to replace whatever thing he decides he wants to destroy on a given day.
What about this don't you people understand? Trump wants to exit this council...fine...do it the proper way. Propose changes to the UN Human Rights Council....propose an alternative body run by the US. Do something other than just withdraw.
BEIJING (Reuters) - China expressed regret on Wednesday over a U.S. decision to withdraw from the U.N. Human Rights Council, with state media saying the image of the United States as a defender of rights was “on the verge of collapse”.
“China expresses regret at the U.S. decision to withdraw from the U.N. Human Rights Council,” foreign ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said at a regular briefing.
“China will continue, working with all sides, to make its contribution to the healthy development of human rights around the world via constructive dialogue and cooperation,” he added.
Asked about U.S. criticism of China’s rights record, Geng said the United States was ignoring the facts and that anyone who was without prejudice could see the enormous progress China had made on rights.
The official publication of China’s top anti-graft watchdog said in a commentary on Wednesday the U.S. decision to leave the council “has put the American peoples’ boastful image of being a defender of human rights on the verge of collapse”.
The separation of immigrant families on the U.S.-Mexico border showed the hypocrisy of the United States and that it “cannot and should not” criticize other countries’ rights record, it said.
