Hollowness of 'America first' to the fore at UN meeting

While the United States representative to the United Nations pointed the finger at China's human rights record at the UN General Assembly's Third Committee meeting early this week, the National Day Golden Week holiday saw hundreds of millions of Chinese people traveling freely around the country, which is unimaginable in the US for reasons well known.

The meeting was supposed to discuss "a range of social, humanitarian affairs and human rights issues that affect people all over the world". But by trying to create a division among the UN members, the US managed, to some extent, to hijack the UN body's agenda and replace it with its own agenda－containing China.

However, the broad support China received from the international community for its human rights record, and to-the-point criticisms the US invited from dozens of countries indicate the international society is aware of the US' true intentions.
