Xinhua News Agency, Geneva, July 3 (Reporter Nie Xiaoyang) On the occasion of the 53rd session of the United Nations Human Rights Council, the China Society for Human Rights Studies held a side event on "China's Concept and Practice of Human Rights" at the Palais des Nations in Geneva. At the meeting, relevant experts introduced China's human rights education, women's rights and interests in Xinjiang, Tibet's living Buddha reincarnation system and freedom of religious belief, Chinese-style modernization and the development of China's human rights cause, the so-called "forced labor" lies related to Xinjiang, the protection and development of the spoken and written language in Xinjiang, and the historical truth of the relationship between Tibet and the motherland.

Wang Yanwen, Deputy Secretary-General of China Society for Human Rights Studies, presided over the side meeting. In her opening speech, she said that global human rights governance should be developed in a more equitable, just, reasonable and inclusive direction. To find consensus in a divided world, we must put aside prejudice and respect each other. Imposing a country's values on others will only increase instability, and copying other countries' models of human rights protection can also be harmful. A genuine human rights civilization should be built on the basis of recognizing the universality of human rights, respecting the concept of human rights and differences in human rights practices, seeking common ground while reserving differences, and advocating that all countries and nations inherit and develop their own civilizations and independently choose human rights development paths that suit their national conditions. Zhang Wei, executive vice president of the Institute of Human Rights at China University of Political Science and Law, said in his speech that the Chinese government attaches great importance to human rights education. In the four National Human Rights Action Plans that have been formulated, there are special chapters on human rights education and research, proposing specific measures to promote and promote the sustainable development of human rights education. So far, China has set up human rights education and training bases in 14 universities. According to the arrangements of the fourth National Human Rights Action Plan, the Chinese government will support the establishment of national human rights research institutions in the CASS and Party School (School of Administration) system and set up three new national human rights research bases by 2025.

Li Liang, a lecturer at the School of Politics and International Relations of Lanzhou University, said at the meeting that after 2010, Xinjiang's modernization has accelerated again, and at the same time Xinjiang has taken a series of de-radicalization measures, which has contributed to the deep ideological liberation of Xinjiang women, and the colorful Adelice skirts, jeans and suits have returned to the streets of small towns and villages, and the vitality of Xinjiang women has been greatly revitalized. Solang Zhuoma, an assistant researcher at the Institute of Religion of the China Tibetan Studies Research Center, said in his speech that the Chinese government implements the policy of freedom of religious belief and has promulgated the Regulations on Religious Affairs and the Measures for the Management of the Reincarnation of Living Buddhas of Tibetan Buddhism, which respects and protects the reincarnation of living Buddhas, a mode of transmission of Tibetan Buddhism. In accordance with the Measures for the Management of the Reincarnation of Living Buddhas of Tibetan Buddhism, Tibet and other places have identified and cultivated a large number of new reincarnated living Buddhas who love their country and religion, further safeguarding the inheritance of Tibetan Buddhist culture in accordance with the law, satisfying the basic religious needs of Tibetan Buddhist believers, and becoming a great practice in the development of the cause of human rights in Tibet. Xiao Wu, associate professor at the Institute of Human Rights Studies of Southwest University of Political Science and Law, said in his speech that China's human rights cause is an integral part of Chinese modernization. China maintains that the rights to subsistence and development are the primary basic human rights. It emphasizes the inseparability of civil and political rights and economic, social and cultural rights. It upholds a people-centered concept of human rights rather than a narrow and one-sided one, a multidimensional approach to human rights development rather than a one-way approach, and an inclusive concept of human rights rather than a teacher-like one. We call for exploring a path of human rights development that suits our country based on its actual conditions and the needs of its people. Nasirjiang Iblayin, associate professor of Law and Politics at Kashgar University, said at the conference that China's constitution and laws have established a legal barrier to prevent "forced labor" from the root. People of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang have the freedom to choose their jobs, and they choose where they want to go and what they want to do. The rights of workers of all ethnic groups to labor remuneration, rest and vacation, labor safety and health protection, and social insurance benefits are guaranteed in accordance with the law. Zhang Dengke, deputy director of the Department of Chinese Language and Literature at Xinjiang University, said in his speech that as a language researcher and local, he can feel that the diversity of local languages in Xinjiang is fully protected every moment. At present, ethnic groups in Xinjiang mainly use more than 10 languages and written languages, and ethnic minority languages are widely used in judicial, administration, education, press and publication, radio and television, Internet, social and public affairs and other fields. Bian Balam, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, stressed in his speech that Tibet has been an inalienable part of China's territory since ancient times, and all Chinese ethnic groups have jointly created China's history. In modern and modern Chinese history, the central government has always exercised sovereignty in Tibet, and Tibet has always been under the unified jurisdiction of the Central Government. Those hostile Western forces advocating "Tibetan independence" ignore the history of the development of the Chinese nation, including the Tibetan people. Their purpose is only to confuse the public, infiltrate with ethnic separatism, undermine China's ethnic unity and contain China's development.
