  A reporter asked questions. The U.S. State Department released the latest Xinjiang-related content, accusing China on issues such as human rights, religion, and "forced labor" and "compulsory birth control" in Xinjiang.

How does China respond to this?

  Hua Chunying said that the United States has repeatedly talked about the old tune and turned black and white on Xinjiang-related issues.

China has repeatedly exposed those baseless malicious lies with facts.

I would like to emphasize once again that Xinjiang-related issues are definitely not ethnic, religious, or human rights issues, but are anti-violent, terror, and anti-separatism issues.

  She said that in the past few years, Xinjiang has suffered from terrorism and religious extremism, and people’s lives have been seriously threatened.

Xinjiang has carried out preventive counter-terrorism through vocational skills education and training to achieve de-radicalization, effectively curbing the trend of frequent terrorist activities, and protecting the rights to life, health and development of all ethnic groups to the greatest extent.

There has not been another terrorist attack in Xinjiang in the past four years.

  As for the various slanders from the US, such as "forced labor" and "compulsory birth control," Hua Chunying pointed out that the facts lie there.

Xinjiang migrant workers are part of the vast majority of workers in China, and their rights and interests are protected by the Labor Law of the People’s Republic of China and the Labor Contract Law of the People’s Republic of China. How can there be any “forced labor”?

In the past 40 years, the Uyghur population in Xinjiang has grown from 5.55 million to more than 12 million.

From 2010 to 2018, the population of ethnic minorities in Xinjiang grew by more than 22%, which was much higher than the 13.9% increase in the entire Xinjiang population. Where did "compulsory birth control" come from?

On average, Xinjiang owns a mosque for every 530 Muslims. This ratio exceeds that of many Muslim countries. How can it “suppress religious freedom”?

  Hua Chunying emphasized that the U.S. continues to make vicious lies on Xinjiang-related issues. It is nothing more than an attempt to contain China's development and undermine China's stability.

The vicious lies concocted by some American politicians and their ulterior political attempts can be clearly seen by anyone who has been to Xinjiang and has a little basic rationality and independent judgment.

  "We urge the U.S. to stop political manipulation, to stop fabricating Xinjiang-related lies, and to stop interfering in China's internal affairs through Xinjiang-related issues. No matter how the U.S. fabricates lies, China's determination to firmly defend national sovereignty, security and development interests will not waver, and the U.S. will undermine Xinjiang's prosperity and stability. , The attempt to contain China's development and progress will not succeed." Hua Chunying said. (Finish)
