The Chinese government has released a white paper on counterterrorism, justifying its policies toward the Uyghur people, which the West has accused of human rights violations, and saying, ``Some countries are interfering in the internal affairs of other countries using human rights as an excuse.'' as a check on Europe and America.
On the 23rd, the Chinese government released a white paper titled ``China's Anti-Terrorism Legal System and Practice.''
The statement states that ``China is a victim of terrorism and has faced threats for many years,'' and emphasizes that China has advanced counterterrorism efforts under the leadership of Xi Jinping.
In particular, the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, where there have been a series of protests and explosions by the Uighur ethnic minority due to the repressive religious policies of the Chinese authorities, is said to be the ``main battleground in the fight against terrorism'' and calls for eradication of terrorist activities. As a result of these efforts, the government justifies that ``the residents' income has doubled, resulting in safety and stability.''
Regarding the autonomous region, Europe and the United States have repeatedly accused large numbers of Uyghurs of being unfairly detained in detention facilities under the pretext of counter-terrorism measures and forced to undergo ideological education, but the white paper states that ``education has led to radicalization of the majority of the population.'' The United States and Europe have been saved from sectarian ideology,'' and that ``some countries are interfering in the internal affairs of other countries under the pretext of the rule of law and human rights, weakening the foundations of international cooperation in counter-terrorism efforts.''

China has emphasized that its efforts in the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region are counter-terrorism measures, and reiterated its stance that it will not tolerate interference based on human rights issues.
