China's not holding back! 🚀 On Wednesday, a spokesperson for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that China is hitting the U.S. with reciprocal visa restrictions. 😱 Why? Because the U.S. imposed visa curbs on Chinese officials over human rights issues. 💼
Lin Jian, speaking at the regular press briefing, said the U.S. has been spreading false info and discrediting China's human rights record. 🕵️♂️ He emphasized that such actions seriously interfere in China's internal affairs and violate international norms. 🌐
\"China is strongly dissatisfied and resolutely opposes this,\" Lin stated firmly. ✊
He also highlighted that the UN Human Rights Council recently approved China's participation in the Universal Periodic Review, showing the international community's recognition of China's human rights progress. 🌟
Lin urged the U.S. to look in the mirror and address its own human rights issues instead of pointing fingers and wielding sanctions. 🙅♂️ He added that the world is tired of the U.S.'s double standards on human rights. 🤔
\"If the U.S. really cares about human rights, it should abandon its double standards and reflect on its own misdeeds,\" Lin said. 🎯
Looks like the diplomatic tensions are heating up! 🔥 Stay tuned for more updates. 📲
