China News Service, Beijing, May 7 (Reporter Zhang Su) The Foreign Affairs Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives recently held a video hearing entitled "Atrocities against Xinjiang Uyghurs and Other Minorities", the so-called "survivors" and American scholars, etc. Attend and testify.
At a regular press conference on the 7th, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin denounced it as "a botched anti-China performance."
Wang Wenbin first emphasized that Xinjiang-related issues are not issues of ethnicity, religion, and human rights, but of combating terrorism and separatism.
He pointed out that the Foreign Affairs Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives held a hearing on the subject of the so-called “atrocities against Xinjiang Uyghurs and other ethnic minorities” without any factual basis, deliberately engaging in “presumption of guilt” and carrying out a blatant view of China’s internal affairs put one's oar in.
The witnesses attending the hearing were either "Xinjiang independence" separatists, or so-called "survivors" who were full of lies and repeatedly exposed and made contradictory statements, or were people who were full of prejudice to China's Xinjiang policy.
"Such a hearing is not objective and fair. It will only be a botched anti-China performance." He said.
Wang Wenbin further pointed out that in order to help Americans understand the real situation in Xinjiang, the Chinese Embassy in the United States held a video conference "Xinjiang is a Good Place" on May 6. The person in charge of the Standing Committee of Xinjiang People’s Congress and the students who have participated in the learning program of the Education and Training Center Wait for the local people to personally talk about the local production and life situation, and have dialogues and exchanges with the US participants.
Wang Wenbin revealed that before that, China had extensively invited US congressmen and assistants to participate in the video conference.
They usually care about human rights in Xinjiang, but almost no one attended.
"This fully exposes the hypocrisy and ulterior motives of the relevant U.S. personnel on Xinjiang-related issues. They dare not face the local government officials and people in Xinjiang who know the local situation best. They only want to believe that a few organizations and individuals fabricated and attacked the human rights situation in Xinjiang. Lies," he said.
Wang Wenbin reiterated that China hopes that the United States will face up to the objective facts of Xinjiang's development and progress, not be blinded by lies and false information fabricated by anti-China forces, stop slandering China's ethnic and religious policies, and stop interfering in China's internal affairs under the pretext of the so-called Xinjiang human rights issue.
