Gao Feng pointed out that the U.S. is ignoring the facts and intends to pass legislation to prohibit the import of Chinese Xinjiang-related products. This is in the name of so-called "human rights", and it practices unilateralism, protectionism, and bullying. It completely violates the principles of the World Trade Organization. Serious damage to the economic and trade order and free trade rules will inevitably seriously damage the vital interests of the companies and consumers of the two countries. It will seriously damage the basic human rights of the people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang, China, such as the right to subsistence and development, and will also intensify the global supply chain. Tension affects the recovery of the global economy.
Gao Feng emphasized that China firmly opposes this.
The US should immediately stop its wrongdoing.
China will take necessary measures to resolutely safeguard China's legitimate rights and interests.
