BEIJING - China has once again used the mass demonstrations to call out the US for its record on racism and discrimination.
"We hope the US government will take concrete measures to fulfil its obligations under the international convention on the elimination of all forms of racial discrimination to protect the legal rights of minorities," said Zhao Lijian, a spokesperson for China's Foreign Ministry.
China "always opposes racial discrimination", Zhao added.
However, the Chinese government has itself come in for widespread criticism over discrimination.
Many Africans have been forced to self-quarantine for two weeks in the Chinese city of Guangzhou amid the coronavirus pandemic. Recent travel history was not taken into account, and many were left homeless after being evicted by landlords.
China is also accused of holding about a million Uighurs and other Muslims in detention.(FA)
