CGTN published this video item, entitled “Young people debate human rights in China and the U.S.” – below is their description.
For more:
Which country’s definition of human rights supports humans more, #China or the U.S.? What are #humanrights? In the U.S., Trump’s immigration policies were described by many as “inhumane,” the Black Lives Matter movement highlighted racial tensions, and over half a million Americans, unfortunately, died from COVID-19. In China, there have been constant concerns over freedom of speech, treatment of Uygurs in #Xinjiang, and national security issues concerning Hong Kong. But who is right?
Let’s see these eight young people debate these questions.
Proposition:
Zoon Ahmed Khan, researcher from Tsinghua University
Shen Zhourong, lecturer at Beijing International Studies University
Enoch Wong, Schwarzman scholar at Tsinghua University
Sunny Mewati, former director of academics at the National High School Debate League of China (NHSDLC)
Opposition:
Veronica Ludaka, student at China Women University
Wang Yixiao, president of Peking University’s English Debating Society
Ekaterina Kologrivaya, master student at Peking University
Wang Yuhang, a student of international journalism and communication at Tsinghua University
