ABSTRACT
Qian Si argues that foreign criticism and the UN resolution regarding the situation in Tibet constituted interference in China's internal affairs. But even despite this criticism of foreign interference, Chinese authorities and scholars have not hesitated to accuse others of violating human rights; we see that Qian Si criticizes the United States for its treatment of Indians. More surprising, in view of the Chinsese Communist Party's (CCP) critical view of the concept of human rights at this time, is Qian's portrayal of the People's Republic of China (PRC) as the true defender of human rights. In international relations, imperialism frequently uses the pretext of "protecting human rights" to intervene in the internal affairs of socialist countries. The tunes of bourgeois international law scholars also serve this imperialist goal. Imperialism often uses the pretext of respecting and protecting human rights to launch aggression and carry out intervention in the internal affairs of nationalist countries.
