China News Agency, Beijing, October 28 (Reporter Zhang Su) "The so-called'genocide' in Xinjiang is a deliberate rumor concocted by some anti-China forces and a farce to slander China." Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin was a regular reporter on the 28th. Said in response to inquiries at the meeting.
A reporter asked that several U.S. senators initiated a resolution to promote China's actions against Uighurs and other Turkic-speaking Muslims as "genocide."
US Secretary of State Pompeo also said in an interview on Tuesday that China’s approach is reminiscent of what happened in Germany in the 1930s.
What's your opinion?
"The U.S. senator you mentioned has always been anti-China and is keen to concoct all kinds of lies to discredit China and seek political self-interest in this way. There is no political integrity at all." Wang Wenbin said bluntly.
He said that on Xinjiang-related issues, we have clarified China's position many times.
The so-called "genocide" in Xinjiang is a deliberate rumor concocted by some anti-China forces and a farce to slander China.
In fact, from 2010 to 2018, the Uyghur population in Xinjiang rose from 10.17 million to 12.72 million, an increase of 2.55 million, an increase of 25%, which was higher than the 14% increase in Xinjiang’s population and significantly higher than the Han population2 % Increase.
"I don’t know what basis these U.S. senators have for claiming that Xinjiang’s'genocide'? What we see is that the U.S. historically reduced the Indian population from 5 million to 250,000 through mass expulsion, assimilation, and massacre of Indians. Is this'genocide'?" Wang Wenbin said.
He reiterated that China urges some US politicians to respect facts, stop fabricating lies, and stop using Xinjiang-related issues to interfere in China's internal affairs.
