美国为实现自身政治目的，不惜威逼利诱他国充当炮灰。这绝不是负责任国家所为，最终只会损人害己。

The US went so far as to coerce or cajole other countries into serving as fodder for its political agenda. No responsible country would ever act in this way. At the end of the day, such behavior will hurt others as well as itself.

赵立坚立陶宛无视中方严正立场，罔顾双边关系大局和国际关系基本准则，公然在国际上制造“一中一台”，开创了恶劣先例。对于任何损害中国主权和领土完整的挑衅行为，中方必定会作出坚决和必要反应。背信弃义、一错再错的结局只有一个，就是咎由自取、自吞苦果。

Zhao Lijian Lithuania ignored China’s stern position, disregarded the bigger picture of China-Lithuania relations and basic norms governing international relations, and openly created the false impression of “one China, one Taiwan” in the world, thus creating an egregious precedent. China always makes resolute and necessary responses to all provocative moves undermining China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. Those acting in bad faith and going further down the wrong path will only reap what they sow. 

《环球时报》记者众所周知，美国自诩为“人权优等生”，一直热衷于打着人权旗号对其他国家的人权状况进行“审视”，并经常发表一些居高临下的言论。但我们看到，22日，联合国少数群体问题特别报告员费尔南德·德瓦雷纳对美国进行为期两周的访问后发表媒体声明，从选举、教育、宗教、刑事司法、仇恨犯罪等多个方面揭露美国对各类少数群体的系统性歧视，指出反犹主义、反亚洲言论、仇视伊斯兰教、对拉丁社区的贬损诽谤和反移民、仇外情绪在整个国家都呈上升趋势，达到创纪录水平。报告员称，美国缺乏更符合其国际人权义务的全面国家人权立法，敦促美彻底改革立法，以防止越来越多的排斥、歧视、仇恨言论以及针对少数群体的犯罪行为。发言人对此有何评论？

Global Times As is well known, the US, a self-proclaimed “beacon of human rights”, has long been obsessed with using human rights as a cover to review other countries’ conditions, and often makes condescending remarks. However, Fernand de Varennes, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Minority Issues, told the press on November 22 at the end of a 14-day visit to the US that there is systemic discrimination against various ethnic minorities in the country, which can be seen in elections, education, religion, criminal justice, hate crimes, among other aspects. He noted that anti-Semitism, anti-Asian speeches, hatred against Islam, denigration and slander of the Latin community, as well as anti-migrant and xenophobia sentiments are all on the rise in the country, reaching record levels. He also noted that the US lacks “a comprehensive national human rights legislation which conforms more closely to its international human rights obligations” and urged it to “overhaul legislation to prevent increasing exclusion, discrimination and hate speech and crimes against minorities”. I wonder if you have any comment?

声明一针见血地指出，“在人权和少数群体问题上，美国是一个自相矛盾的国家。”一方面，美国对印第安人实施种族灭绝和系统性种族歧视，让弗洛伊德们“无法呼吸”，将海外领地居民视作“二等公民”，漠视少数族裔处于对严重仇恨犯罪威胁的恐惧之中。另一方面，美国在国际上热衷于搞政治操弄和所谓人权外交，以人权为工具干涉他国内政。美国每年都发布人权报告，对自身人权状况闭口不谈，却对他国人权状况说三道四。这充分暴露了美国在人权问题上的双重标准和虚伪性。

“The United States is a nation of paradoxes when it comes to human rights and minorities”, the Special Rapporteur pointed out sharply. On one hand, the US committed genocide and systemic racial discrimination against native Americans, made things so bad that people like George Floyd “can’t breathe”, treat residents in its overseas territories as second rate citizens, and watch with indifference as ethnic minorities live in fear under the threat posed by grave hate crimes. On the other hand, the US is obsessed with political manipulation and the so-called human rights diplomacy in the world and uses human rights as a tool to meddle in other countries’ internal affairs. In its annual human rights report, the US wantonly criticizes other countries while keeping mum on its own human rights issues. This fully exposes its double standard and hypocrisy on human rights.
