Delegates attend the Human Rights Council at the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland Sept 11, 2023. China's re-election reflects the international community's recognition of not only its achievements in protecting and promoting human rights at home but also its contribution to improving global human rights governance. That those anti-China elements and self-proclaimed champions of human rights are also trying to use human rights as a tool to fulfill their narrow ends could not be a coincidence. As China advocates, how human rights should be protected and improved in different countries should not be determined by just using the Western yardstick, for human rights concepts and practices differ from country to country. Although China's concept of human rights is starkly different from the West's, it remains committed to taking concrete actions, rather than indulging in empty talk, to make global human rights governance fairer and truly inclusive.
