  "For a period of time, we have seen the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) spread too many lies and rumors on Xinjiang and China issues."

  At a regular press conference held on the 23rd, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin held a large photo with both hands to show Chinese and foreign reporters: "I only have two hands, but these lies spread by the BBC are too many to count. of."

  One of the photos he took to a regular press conference on February 4.

The Uyghur woman in the photo is called Sao Mure Dawuti. In an interview with the BBC, she lied about being forced to sterilize.

  The Uyghur woman in another photo is Tursunnayi Ziyaodeng. In an interview with the BBC, she claimed that the Xinjiang Education and Training Center had “systemic sexual assault” against women.

  "The truth of the matter is that this person is the same as Sao Muje Dawuti, but an'actor' who was used by some forces to discredit and attack China." Wang Wenbin said that Tursun Nayi came from Xinjiang in September 2019. Before leaving the country, before arriving in the United States, she had been interviewed by foreign media and organizations many times, but never mentioned that the Xinjiang Education and Training Center had "sexual assault", let alone that she was a victim of "sexual assault."

In addition, in an interview with CNN, she claimed that an IUD was implanted in Xinjiang. In fact, she herself is not fertile and has never undergone birth control operations in Xinjiang.

  Wang Wenbin said that Tursun Nayi's lie weaving skills are not very good, and it is not difficult for ordinary people to see through.

However, it is regrettable that well-known international media such as the BBC have been able to broadcast such fake news without verification, which has actually become a tool for spreading Xinjiang-related lies.

  "The BBC has also attributed the lack of verification to China's'strict restrictions' on journalists. This is purely a piggybacking guy-a slap. The facts are clearly laid out there. The BBC is a century-old shop, why not go Verification? It’s not impossible, it’s not." Wang Wenbin said.

  He pointed out that the so-called "forced labor" and "compulsory sterilization" related to Xinjiang are all rumors, lies and false information concocted by anti-China forces, without factual basis. Like a castle on a sand dune, it will sooner or later go bankrupt.

  After Wang Wenbin produced photos to refute the Xinjiang-related rumors, reporters from Canada, Japan, the United Kingdom and other countries asked questions about Xinjiang-related issues one after another.

A reporter from the Canadian Globe and Mail is concerned about whether China has dispatched a working group to investigate the issue of "systematic human rights violations" in Xinjiang, and how many Xinjiang people have been sent to what China calls education and training centers.

  Wang Wenbin replied that China, including the People's Government of the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, has clarified and refuted the so-called "systemic assault" in the Xinjiang Education and Training Center.

The trainees of Xinjiang Education and Training Center have already graduated, and now most of them are leading normal lives and integrating into society.

  A reporter from Kyodo News in Japan mentioned that it sometimes takes a long time for victims of sexual assault to disclose their own experiences to the public, and tried to explain the inconsistency of Tursunnai's statement by using various concerns about the victims.

  "What Tursonnayi said on more than one issue is inconsistent with the facts. It turns out that she lied and spread rumors on more than one issue." Wang Wenbin then asked: "For such a person, when she accused China When there is a'systemic sexual assault' against women in the training center of China, can we believe it? Why did the BBC broadcast it without verification? Isn't the reason thought-provoking?"

  "Do you think Xinjiang Uyghur women can freely and impunally disclose their experiences? If there are women who encounter problems in the education and training centers, are there enough channels for them to report these problems in China?" British Reuters reporter ask.

  Wang Wenbin said bluntly: "Of course Xinjiang women can tell about their experiences, their conditions, their thoughts and feelings without worry. If you have participated in the 4 press conferences held by the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region Government in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, you will It was discovered that there were also female trainees who had received training in the education and training center who gave presentations at the meeting."

  In the process of answering questions, Wang Wenbin also expressed on many occasions that he hoped that people of insight from all walks of life, especially friends from the media, could perform their due responsibilities for the media, verify the truth, don’t listen and believe, let alone spread and spread lies. A tool for rumors.
