China News Service, December 18th. According to the WeChat official account of the Chinese mission to the European Union, the spokesperson of the mission to the European Union responded to reporters’ questions about the European Parliament’s resolution on Xinjiang, saying that he urges relevant members of the European Parliament to respect facts, abandon prejudice, and respect. People of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang, China, pursue the right to a better life through labor, and stop using Xinjiang-related issues to engage in political manipulation and interfere in China's internal affairs.

  A reporter asked that on December 17, the European Parliament passed a resolution accusing the Chinese government of implementing "forced labor" against ethnic minorities such as Xinjiang Uighurs.

What is China's comment?

  The spokesperson of the mission to the European Union said that Chinese citizens, in accordance with the "Labor Law", "Labor Contract Law" and other laws and relevant administrative regulations, on the basis of equality, voluntariness, and consensus, freely sign labor contracts with employers and obtain corresponding They also enjoy complete freedom in choosing their place of employment.

This is true throughout China and Xinjiang in China.

Workers of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang choose occupations according to their own wishes, sign labor contracts with enterprises in accordance with the law on the principle of equality and voluntariness, and will not suffer any discrimination due to differences in ethnicity, gender, and religious beliefs.

In Europe, there are also laborers from their own country or other European countries, as well as foreign countries who work or engage in seasonal labor, and there must be similar laws, regulations and practices.

  The spokesperson pointed out that the so-called "forced labor" and other issues are entirely lies fabricated out of thin air by some anti-China activists.

The "trader" and habitual methods behind those people are no longer a secret.

The EU has always expressed its vigilance against false information.

This is exactly false information.

Some members of the European Parliament ignore the fact that the people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang live and work in peace and stability, and blindly listen to and spread false information created by those who have no credibility and integrity, and distorted the will of the people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang to pursue a better life through legal labor. It has become the "violence" of the Chinese government, maliciously attacked the Chinese government's ethnic policies and people's livelihood measures, passed resolutions to grossly interfere in China's internal affairs, and seriously violated the basic norms of international relations. We express our strong dissatisfaction and firm opposition to this.

  The spokesman said that we urge the relevant members of the European Parliament to respect facts, abandon prejudice, respect the right of people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang to pursue a better life through labor, and stop using Xinjiang-related issues to engage in political manipulation and interfere in China's internal affairs.
