China's statement! Strongly condemning the permanent | civilized | Chinese side
On July 11, 2023, the 53rd session of the United Nations Human Rights Council held an emergency debate on the "burning of the Quran" incident. Ambassador Chen Xu, the Permanent Representative of the United Nations Office at Geneva and other international organizations in Switzerland, made a speech to elaborate on China's position and propositions.

Chen Xu stated that China supports the holding of this emergency debate and strongly condemns the recurrence of the burning of the Quran in relevant countries. China has always advocated for mutual respect, tolerance and learning among different civilizations, and firmly opposes all forms of Islamophobia. Islamic civilization has made significant contributions to world civilization, and the beliefs and religious sentiments of Muslims should be respected. The so-called "freedom of speech" should not be a reason to incite cultural conflicts or create cultural opposition.

Chen Xu emphasized that China is willing to work together with all parties to implement the Global Civilization Initiative, advocate for adhering to equality, mutual learning, dialogue, and inclusiveness among civilizations, and use cultural exchanges to transcend cultural barriers, cultural mutual learning to transcend cultural conflicts, and cultural inclusiveness to transcend cultural superiority. I hope and believe that this urgent debate, as well as the upcoming thematic dialogues and discussions, will encourage some countries to show political will, take practical actions, solve deep-seated problems that lead to arrogance, discrimination, and exclusivity, enhance understanding and respect for different religions and civilizations, and promote the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind.
