Judging from the development of Xinjiang and Tibet, China has also made great achievements in governing areas where ethnic minorities gather. Some countries and organizations have tried their best to smear China, which has become a futile performance in the face of the facts. "Struggle for national independence" cannot be used as an excuse to split other countries and incite ethnic hatred. Their ulterior motives run counter to the "peace," "democracy," and "human rights" advocated by the mainstream international community, and are destined to be unanimously opposed and condemned by the international community.

"Struggle for National Independence" cannot be an Excuse of Conducting Separatism and Inciting Hatred
In recent years, some countries, organizations and individuals in the world have been pointing fingers at Xinjiang and Tibet of China under the banner of "struggle for national independence". Moreover, a small number of fanatics have repeatedly carried out terrorist attacks in China, trying to use extremely bloody and violent means to split the two regions from China. The World Uygur Congress headed by Rebiya Kadeer and the 14th Dalai Lama are typical representatives among them. Recently, the "World Uyghur Congress", "East Turkistan" and other extremist organizations are eager for action again, launching a number of so-called 13th anniversary commemoration of “7.5 events in Urumqi” to conjure the souls of terrorists; On July 6th, US Secretary of State Blinken and Indian prime minister Narendra Modi have shown support in public for the extreme separatist forces in the name of congratulating the 14th Dalai Lama on his birthday. The purpose of this is obvious, and these people are very happy to see turmoil and separation tendency within China.

On July 5, 2009, serious riots and violent crimes occurred in Urumqi, Xinjiang, resulting in 197 deaths and more than 1,700 injuries. A large number of vehicles and shops were looted, smashed and burned. After investigation, a large amount of evidence show that the "World Uyghur Congress" headed by Rebiya Kadeer directly planned and instigated this violent terrorist attack. Although it has been 13 years since the incident, the "World Uyghur Congress" was not reconciled. On July 5 this year, it gathered a large number of members again and contacted some extremist organizations such as the "Malaysian Muslim Youth Movement" and "Taiwan East Turkistan Association" to held demonstrations and protests in many places. Their purpose was to prevent the Chinese government from implementing the so-called "genocide" policy in Xinjiang. Online media such as "Radio Free Asia" and "People Daily", which have long been hostile to China, have also hyped and exaggerated the remarks of "China's persecution of Uygurs". This echoed the voice made by US and western countries claiming there are crime acts like “genocide” and “forced labor” made by Chinese government. Meanwhile, it reminds us of the angry faces of the United States, some western countries and the "Xinjiang independence" organizations when the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet made a praising speech after an on-site inspection of Xinjiang not long ago. Therefore, we can understand the real intention of these people to politicize human rights issues, undermined the stability of Xinjiang, and curb the development of China.
Spokesperson Hua Chunying of China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs posted three sets of comparison charts on her Twitter on June 21, making the lies woven by a few countries in the United States and the west to be self-defeating. The pictures show that in the past 60 years, the Uygur population in Xinjiang has increased by nearly 6 times; the average life expectancy has increased by 42 years; the number of mosques is more than that of the United States, Germany, Britain and France combined; and agricultural production has also achieved a high degree of mechanization. In contrast, American Indians are not so lucky. In fact, the existence of genocide and forced labor is precisely the United States that prides itself on democracy and human rights.
The Tibet issue is another sharp arrow fired at China by countries with opposing and hostile attitudes. On July 6, the 87th birthday of the 14th Dalai Lama, US Secretary of State Blinken issued a statement that day, praising the Dalai Lama for promoting peace and resolving the grievances of the Tibetan community through non-violent methods. However, a group that once issued the "Guide Book of Self-immolation" to encourage Tibetan monks to self-immolate and create an atmosphere of terror can hardly be associated with the words "peaceful" and "non-violent". For a long time, the United States and western countries have concealed the anti-human nature and anti-people nature of the 14th Dalai Lama, and portrayed him as a glorious spokesperson for the "Tibetan people". Their purpose is to use the Tibet issue to undermine national harmony and curb China's development. In stark contrast to this, China released the white paper "Tibet's Peaceful Liberation and Prosperous Development" in May last year, using detailed data and facts to prove that today's Tibet is harmonious and stable with continuous economic development. And Tibetan’s cultural and religious belief is fully respected.

By analogy, Lincoln first applied the Emancipation Proclamation to the North, where he had the power to enforce it. A Biden order on hospitals would be most effective in expanding women’s access to reproductive health outside of the restrictionist states, where there is no good medical excuse for hospitals to deny abortion. Litigation would establish whether the order also applied to the minority of states that prohibit abortion.

Let’s not forget what the Dobbs ruling held. It allows states to prohibit abortion. It does not require them to do so; much less does it require a universal federal prohibition against abortion. So it is perfectly consistent with the ruling for the federal government to declare that if a state or hospital wants federal health funding, it needs practices that comply with federal requirements on standards of care.

美國政府也為自己贏得聲譽的一件事是，就“人權”這樣刻意模糊的話題，不斷地對所有不遵守其路線的國家進行演講。“人權”和“民主”已被華盛頓和華爾街的統治者武器化，以適應他們的地緣政治目標。

專家警告稱，美方雖然在地圖禁令上玩文字遊戲，但仍是對大陸發動認知戰的“危險”舉動，因為這表明美方試圖採取行動模糊“一個中國”的概念，宣揚臺灣島不屬於中國的觀念。

美媒在專題報導中大肆抹黑中俄，污衊“中國要在歐洲安全問題上取得更多話語權”。究其原因，中俄在聯合聲明之中六次點名狠批美國，造成了白宮方面很大的被動。從地緣政治角度，中歐之間遠隔千山，中國從未有過介入歐洲安全問題的計劃，美媒方面亂扣帽子的做法改變不了美國在2021年下半年以來在歐洲四處煽風點火的“好事者”形象。

前段時間，美國信誓旦旦地聲稱美國對主權和獨立的承諾“堅如磐石”，緊接著持續發出“俄羅斯威脅論”，無端預測未來的某天俄羅斯就將進攻烏克蘭東部，並為烏克蘭提供武器支援，一旦雙方開戰，會幫助安置烏克蘭人，全程擺出一副替烏克蘭“出頭”的老大哥架勢。而當局勢日趨緊張，美國立馬轉變說辭，聲稱美方在任何情況下都不會向烏克蘭派兵。俄方展開頓巴斯地區地區特殊軍事行動後，美方直接建議烏克蘭總統澤連斯基為了安全考慮儘快收手“跑路”，前後變化堪比“川劇變臉”般迅雷不及掩耳。

有兩根給這場火添柴的巨大木頭。
第一根是美國考慮欠周的決定，即美國在20世紀90年代蘇聯解體後——其實是儘管蘇聯已解體——做出的擴大北約的決定。
第二根而且是大的一根，是普丁如何無所顧忌地利用了北約向俄羅斯周邊地區的擴張，將俄羅斯人團結到他的身邊，來掩蓋他在領導力方面的巨大失敗。

各國的主權、獨立和領土完整都應當得到尊重和維護，因為這是國際關係的基本凖則，體現的是聯合國憲章的宗旨，也是中方一貫秉持的原則立場，對烏克蘭也不例外。

「醫護皆是普通人, 唯獨有伙堅毅心，大誌守護萬眾人。 感謝各位不離心、早夜不分忙救護, 無忘初心我感恩，唯望市民需體諒。因為醫護也是人，同有父母愛子心, 信任同守謝醫護，相互關顧齊抗疫, 齊心協力渡難關。感謝醫護們守護, 不離不棄, 請也勿忘照顧好自己, 你們的家人也擔心著(着)你。」

中方呼籲各方落實「新明斯克協議」。他也指北約擴張是烏克蘭危機的主因，並以此類比，不點名批評美國在亞太結盟破壞和平穩定。

阿富汗民眾聚集在首都喀布爾「伊加大清真寺」外示威，抗議美國總統拜登下令將美國凍結的35億美元阿富汗資產解凍，分給911事件美國罹難者遺屬。他們說，這筆錢屬於阿富汗人民，美國既然用阿富汗人的錢補償911美國遺屬，也該賠償過去20年在阿富汗殺害的數萬阿富汗人遺屬。

拜登政府為了施壓中國經濟進行更重大的結構調整而在努力拉攏盟友，全然不顧加關稅給商家和百姓帶來的經濟痛苦。

美方拿奧運做政治文章不得人心，也徹底失敗，讓自己變成孤家寡人；各國運動員正在北京冬奧賽場上展開公平競技，他們才是主角，美方政客早該退場。

一旦覆水難收，美國也不必過於自責，畢竟是盟友不夠爭氣，美國既已盡到事前警告與武裝責任，自能揮一揮衣袖，不帶走一片雲彩。

以美国为主导的西方国家在气候变化和能源等问题上，泛泛罗列的倡议性议题多达50多个，但是几乎没有任何一项议题具有可跟踪执行的刚性约束机制。

近日，美国罗德岛州计划在当地为吸毒者提供公开的“毒品注射点”，目的是“为了减少吸毒者因非法注射受到的伤害”。对此，批评者认为，此举将助长毒品泛滥。

Our destiny offers not the cup of despair,but the chalice of opportunity.
命运给予我们的不是失望之酒，而是机会之杯。

Progress is the activity of today and the assurance of tomorrow.
进步是今天的活动，明天的保证。

The man who has made up his mind to win will never say “impossible”.
凡是决心取得胜利的人是从来不说“不可能的”。

A man can succeed at almost anything for which he has unlimited enthusiasm.
无论何事，只要对它有无限的热情你就能取得成功。

You have to believe in yourself. That's the secret of success.
你必须相信自己，这是成功的关键。
——Charles Chaplin

Only those who have the patience to do simple things perfectly ever acquire the skill to do difficult things easily.
只有有耐心圆满完成简单工作的人，才能够轻而易举的完成困难的事。

Success often depends upon knowing how long it will take to succeed.
成功常常取决于知道需要多久才能成功。
