China is accusing Canada of hypocrisy for criticizing Beijing91裸聊视频檚 human-rights record, pointing to issues faced by Indigenous Peoples.

The blowback comes after Ottawa sanctioned eight Chinese officials it accuses of 91裸聊视频済rave human rights violations91裸聊视频� against ethnic and religious minorities, and voiced concern about democracy in Hong Kong.

Ottawa issued a statement last month that cited reports of arbitrary and violent detainment of Uyghur people, as well as repression toward Tibetans and Falun Gong practitioners.

Global Affairs Canada also says it 91裸聊视频渄eplores91裸聊视频� that authorities are issuing international bounties for Hong Kong democracy activists and former lawmakers from the territory, including Canadians.

Beijing says those claims are baseless and it has sanctioned groups and activists in Canada who advocate for minorities in China, barring citizens from certain interactions with these activists.

Since then, China91裸聊视频檚 state media has repeatedly called out Canada over its treatment of Indigenous Peoples, claiming Ottawa is being hypocritical.

91裸聊视频淐anada is in no position to lecture others on human rights,91裸聊视频� Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said at a Dec. 11 press conference, according to an official translation.

91裸聊视频淓ven today, Canada91裸聊视频檚 Indigenous people still face systemic racial discrimination and unfair treatment. Instead of dealing with it, Canada chooses to smear and vilify other countries.91裸聊视频�

Mao added that 91裸聊视频淐hina has achieved enormous progress in human rights91裸聊视频� that 91裸聊视频渘o one without bias can deny.91裸聊视频�

A day later, she added that 91裸聊视频渢he whole thing is an ugly, hypocritical political stunt done by some Canadian political figures under the pretext of human rights, to serve an unspeakable agenda and please the U.S.91裸聊视频�

China91裸聊视频檚 embassy in Ottawa has been amplifying those messages on social media, including a political cartoon from a state-run media outlet CGTN showing a beaver with a tattered home telling a panda with an immaculate house that it has some cracks.

91裸聊视频淐anada turns a blind eye to the systematic racism and unfair treatment that the Indigenous people face, yet fabricates accusations and smears China91裸聊视频檚 human-rights progress,91裸聊视频� reads the cartoon caption. 91裸聊视频淚ts constant political manipulation on human-rights issues is nothing more than a hypocritical farce of double standards.91裸聊视频�

In a recurring assessment of human-rights issues in Canada, the United Nations noted progress had been made in Indigenous rights and housing, while urging more be done.

The November 2023 assessment asked Canadian governments to stop human-rights abuses by Canadian mining corporations abroad and the overrepresentation of minorities in prison and child welfare. It also asked Canada to better respect Indigenous Peoples91裸聊视频� rights to free, prior and informed consent.

The same body91裸聊视频檚 assessment of China in January 2024 noted the country had improved its policies for women and children, but urged the government act to 91裸聊视频渆nsure that all detainees are formally accounted for, granted access to their families and held in officially recognized places of detention.91裸聊视频�

It urged China 91裸聊视频渞espect the rights to freedom of religion or belief, opinion and expression, peaceful assembly and culture, including for Tibetans, Uyghurs, and other minorities91裸聊视频� and said counterterrorism laws are not 91裸聊视频渋n compliance with international human-rights law and standards,91裸聊视频� including in Hong Kong.
