(Essential Questions) Short Comment: Fairness and Freedom, International Public Opinion and Rational Voices Increased in Xinjiang
China News Service, Beijing, May 14th, title: Fairness and freedom, more and more rational voices of international public opinion in Xinjiang
China News Agency reporter Zheng Qiao
In recent years, Western anti-China forces have spread rumors and lies on Xinjiang-related issues, and slander China has once flooded the international public opinion field.
What should not be overlooked is that in recent times, there have been more and more objective and rational voices on Xinjiang-related issues in the world, which can be described as fair and free.
The Swedish Foundation for Peace and Future Research recently published a special report entitled "Determining Xinjiang's "Genocide" with Utilitarian Intentions"," exposing the shady behind the U.S. and Western concocting the fallacy of "genocide" related to Xinjiang.
This report directly pointed out that the publishing agency and writers of the so-called Xinjiang-related "genocide" report by the US think tank have obvious political inclination, and the evidence base for accusing China of "genocide" is surprisingly weak.

The American independent website Counterpunch published an article entitled "Reflections on the Ultimate Crime "Genocide"" in April. The two authors are human rights experts and well-known international law professors. They analyzed from a professional perspective that the United States was involved in Xinjiang "genocide." The allegations are driven by ideology and have no evidence to support them.
And the German economist Uwe Behrens published in the "New Deutsche Zeitung" entitled "The "Genocide" of Uyghurs?"
"The article argued that what happened in Xinjiang was not "genocide" and that the disputes surrounding Xinjiang were part of a strategy to stop or slow down China's rise.
In addition to think tanks and experts, some ordinary people also bravely voiced their own voices.
Singaporean education consultant Gong Yucheng recently published a commentary article "The Thing About Xinjiang Cotton" in Lianhe Zaobao.
Having worked and lived in Xinjiang for more than 10 years, he introduced Xinjiang’s cotton production through personal experience and said that the so-called “forced labor” in Xinjiang is baseless, not only absurd, but also ignorant.

After sorting out, we find that these views coincide with those of experts, scholars, and journalists from Australia, India, Turkey, Norway and other countries.
Against the background that the Western media is flooded with smearing speeches in Xinjiang, more and more people are beginning to explore the truth and make an objective and rational voice, which is gratifying and especially precious.
It is conceivable that the anti-China forces in the West did not give up easily.
On May 12, the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany and other countries and "Human Rights Watch" "Amnesty International" and other non-governmental organizations held a video conference on the human rights situation in Xinjiang in New York, continuing to hype the so-called "genocide" issue in Xinjiang.
On the same day, the U.S. State Department issued the so-called "2020 International Religious Freedom Report," which vilified China's religious policies and continued to spread false information on Xinjiang-related issues.
Defamation and slander won't stop easily, but when the light advances by a point, the darkness retreats by a point.
It is hoped that more international people will understand the nature of the so-called Xinjiang issue concocted by Western anti-China forces. In the future, there will be more facts, fewer rumors and lies, more exchanges and cooperation, and less political manipulation on Xinjiang-related issues.

The door to Xinjiang is always open. The Secretary-General of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, Vladimir Norov, and more than 30 envoys and diplomats from 21 countries to China visited Xinjiang a few days ago.
I also hope that more people can put aside their prejudices, walk into Damei Xinjiang, understand the truth, and make more rational voices, so that rumors and lies have nowhere to hide.
