China's Communist Party wants its citizens to know about the world’s human rights abuses. Just not its own
ABCUnder pressure from Western nations over human rights concerns in its far west, China's government has taken an unlikely turn. In recent weeks, China's Foreign Ministry spokespeople have been making statements and firing off tweets in English slamming Australia, the EU, Canada and the US for past and present human rights problems. China tailors its message to multiple audiences China's aim is not to persuade the West to change its approach to human rights and social justice, according to Richard McGregor, an analyst with the Lowy Institute. The appeal to progressive politics was on display recently when China's top diplomat Yang Jiechi chided US counterparts in face-to-face talks about racism, raising the recent Black Lives Matter protests. In a sign Chinese government opinion-makers are still feeling out the boundaries of identity politics, the Global Times has vacillated between celebrating China's new aggressive style of "Wolf Warrior" diplomacy and claiming the term is a racist Western concept.
