‘Striking Scene’: China Trashes Melania Trump’s Turn Leading U.N. Security Council Meeting

From Breitbart :

China’s state-run propaganda newspaper Global Times declared on Tuesday that First Lady Melania Trump’s leadership at a U.N. Security Council meeting the day before — an unprecedented act for a presidential spouse — drew “backlash from international society” for alleged hypocrisy amid the ongoing war with Iran.

The Global Times highlighted comments from the Chinese envoy at the meeting, Fu Cong, who echoed claims by the Iranian Islamist regime that either America or Israel targeted a girls’ school in the country. Independent observers have not confirmed the alleged strike and the United States has rejected any accusation that it would intentionally bomb a school.

It also highlighted the Iranian envoy present at the meeting calling the first lady “hypocritical” for her remarks calling for universal access to education for children. Iran is one of the world’s most prolific abusers of the rights of women, mandating that all women cover their hair, beating and killing women who defy the Islamist edict, and violently punishing acts such as dancing. Despite this, the United Nations Commission for Social Development (CSocD) named the Islamic Republic a “vice-chair” in February. The commission’s mandate includes women’s rights issues.


First Lady Trump addressed a meeting on education, offering condolences to service members injured in “Operation Epic Fury” and urging governments to expand access to education and prioritize free thinking.

“Children raised in a culture rooted in ignorance are surrounded by disorder, and sometimes even conflict,” she said. “These societies are filled with rigid thinkers who embrace prejudice and shun human dignity. When a nation restricts thought, it restricts its own future.”

“Education is widely recognized as a fundamental human right. And yet today, so many children and young adults are banned from attending secondary schools and universities,” she added.

The Global Times described the UN meeting as a “striking scene” and claimed international outrage over Trump’s presence and remarks. The newspaper gave evidence of an alleged “backlash from international society” against Trump using comments from the Iranian representative at the meeting and social media, which are banned in China except for members of the Communist Party’s elite.
