Xi to Bachelet: no country can tell China how to defend human rights | Video

Beijing, May 25 (EFE).- Chinese President Xi Jinping told the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Michelle Bachelet, on Wednesday that there was no need for any country to “teach” others how to defend human rights, nor politicize the issue and interfere in the internal affairs of other nations.

Xi and Bachelet, who is visiting the Asian country until Friday, held a virtual meeting a day after a leak of thousands of photographs and documents taken inside internment camps in the western region of Xinjiang, where hundreds of thousands of Uyghurs and other Muslim minorities have been held.

Bachelet arrived in China on Monday on a six-day visit to investigate alleged abuses in Xinjiang amid fears she will be given limited access to the country. (Camera: HANDOUT).
