China News Service, Toronto, February 21. According to news from the Chinese Embassy in Canada on February 21, Cong Peiwu, the Chinese Embassy in Canada, recently accepted an interview with the Canadian Press on the Conservative Party in the House of Representatives to promote negative Xinjiang-related motions. Stern stand.

He emphasized that spreading lies is not a defense of values ​​at all.

China urges Canada to respect facts, discard prejudice, and correct mistakes so as not to further damage China-Canada relations.

　　Cong Peiwu said that the Canadian Conservative Party initiated a motion in the House of Representatives, calling on the Canadian government to officially recognize China's so-called "genocide" in Xinjiang.

China expresses its strong dissatisfaction and firm opposition to this.

Some people in Western countries such as Canada advertise that they defend their values, but one of the most important values ​​should be to respect facts and stop spreading false information or even lies.

　　Cong Peiwu introduced the truth about Xinjiang-related issues from five aspects:

　　First, there is no so-called "genocide" or "cultural extermination" in Xinjiang.

"Genocide" is clearly defined in international law, and it cannot be deducted from China.

The average life expectancy in Xinjiang has increased from over 30 years ago to 72 years ago.

From 2010 to 2018, the Uyghur population rose from 10.17 million to 12.72 million, an increase of 25%, which was higher than the 14% increase in Xinjiang’s population and significantly higher than the 2% increase in the Han population.

The Chinese government protects the freedom of religious belief of Chinese citizens, including Xinjiang Uygur and other ethnic minorities.

On average, Xinjiang owns a mosque for every 530 Muslims.

The Uyghur language is printed on the Chinese yuan.

　　Second, there is no so-called "compulsory sterilization" in Xinjiang.

Respect and protection of human rights is a basic principle stipulated in the Chinese Constitution, and it has been fully embodied in China's various legal systems and various work carried out by the Chinese government.

Women of all ethnic groups in China enjoy political rights and other rights in accordance with the law.

The BBC once reported that a Uyghur woman claimed to have been "forced sterilization" and "removed the uterus."

The fact is that when she gave birth to a third child in a hospital in Urumqi in March 2013, she signed her voluntary consent for delivery, agreeing to perform cesarean section and ligation.

This person has become a tool for anti-China forces to attack and speculate on Xinjiang.

　　Third, there is no so-called "re-education camp" in Xinjiang.

The vocational skills education and training center established in Xinjiang according to law is of a school nature. It has no essential difference from the "Transformation and De-extremism Project" established by the United Kingdom and the de-radicalization center established by France. It is fully in line with the "United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy" and "United Nations Anti-violent Extremism Action The principles and spirit of a series of anti-terrorism resolutions including the Plan.

As of the end of 2019, all the trainees who participated in the "Three Studies and One Go" training at the Xinjiang Education and Training Center had completed their studies and achieved stable employment.

The Australian Institute of Strategic Policy absurdly regards all buildings with external walls in Xinjiang as "detention centers," but they are actually civil institutions.

　　Fourth, there is no so-called "forced labor" in Xinjiang.

Minority migrant workers from Xinjiang are part of the vast majority of workers in China. Their rights and interests are protected by law, and they have the freedom to choose their occupations. They are all out of their own will where they go and what work they do.

As of the end of 2019, nearly 3 million people have been lifted out of poverty in Xinjiang.

　　Fifth, Xinjiang-related issues are not human rights, ethnic, or religious issues at all, but are anti-violent, terror, and anti-secession issues.

There have been no cases of violence and terrorism in Xinjiang for more than four consecutive years.

In 2019, Xinjiang received more than 200 million tourists.

Since 2018, more than 1,200 people from more than 100 countries, including UN officials, foreign envoys to China, permanent representatives of relevant countries in Geneva, media reporters, and religious groups, have visited Xinjiang, witnessing first-hand the excellent situation of Xinjiang’s stability and prosperity Praising Xinjiang’s experience in counter-terrorism and de-radicalization is worth learning.

　　Cong Peiwu said that China welcomes foreigners who truly uphold the principles of objectivity and fairness to take a walk and take a look at Xinjiang to learn about the real situation in Xinjiang.

China has already sent an invitation to the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, and the two sides are maintaining communication on this.

At the same time, China also firmly opposes any country or anyone who interferes in internal affairs under the banner of human rights, and opposes any so-called "investigation" that advocates the presumption of guilt in Xinjiang.

　　Cong Peiwu emphasized that Xinjiang affairs are purely China's internal affairs, and no external forces are allowed to interfere.

China's determination to defend national sovereignty, security and development interests is unwavering.

China urges Canada to value China's solemn position, respect facts, discard prejudice, correct mistakes, immediately cancel relevant motions, and stop interfering in China's internal affairs in any way, so as not to cause further damage to China-Canada relations.
