[Commentary] The 47th meeting of the United Nations Human Rights Council concluded on July 14 in Geneva, Switzerland.
At the meeting, Canada and other Western countries distorted the facts and maliciously smeared China's Xinjiang policy.
In response to the incident, Xu Guixiang, the spokesperson of the People’s Government of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, said on July 15 that this was a frantic political farce and show of lies.

Canada and other Western countries formed gangs to engage in so-called anti-China joint speeches, to discredit China’s attacks, and to label Xinjiang’s righteous actions against the "three forces" as "human rights violations" and "forced labor", and staged a frenzy. Political farce and lies show.
[Explanation] In fact, the so-called "human rights violations" in Xinjiang concocted by Canada and other Western countries have also been condemned by the justice forces of the international community.
[Concurrent] Xu Guixiang, Spokesperson of the People's Government of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region
At the current session of the Human Rights Council, 68 countries jointly signed a joint speech with China, and more than 20 countries supported and echoed China’s position through individual speeches and joint letters, voiced justice, praised China’s great progress in the cause of human rights, and opposed the use of human rights. The problem interferes in China's internal affairs.
[Explanation] Recently, the US Secretary of State met with some foreigners of Xinjiang and listened to their so-called "personal experiences" in Xinjiang, and made irresponsible remarks on the human rights situation in Xinjiang.
The identities of these people have long been proved to be international wanted criminals and liars, and the actions of American politicians seem to be a farce.
[Concurrent] Yilijiang Anayiti, Spokesperson of the People’s Government of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region
These so-called "personal witnesses" are not only criminal fugitives wanted by our public security organs, but also crooks posing as police officers.
They forged their identities and provided false "testimonies". They were actually "actors" who made a living by spreading rumors about Xinjiang.
For example, Doricul Aisha, the leader of the "World Uyghur Commission", was the first group of terrorists in my country to announce the identification of terrorist activities, and he was also the target of the International Criminal Police Organization.
It is a great irony for US Secretary of State Blincol to meet with these so-called "victims" in disregard of basic facts and make irresponsible remarks about the human rights situation in Xinjiang.
[Explanation] At the press conference that day, there were also video connections with seven people from different places and industries in Xinjiang, showing the most real living conditions of the people in Xinjiang.

In October 2017, the first group of villagers in Mazhawozi Village moved to Kunlun Jiayuan (a relocation site for poverty alleviation), 7 kilometers away from the county seat. They lived in bright and spacious buildings, used tap water, and used mobile phones. After watching cable TV, this kind of life was something we could not even imagine before.
[Concurrent] Mikrai Ibrahim, Deputy Director of the Creative Research Department of Xinjiang Art Theater
As a literary and art worker, my deepest experience for many years is that the party and the state attach great importance to the protection, inheritance and development of the traditional culture and art of various nationalities, and they have also given strong support in terms of policies and financial resources.
[Concurrent] Alimujiang·Apsymeti, lecturer of Zepu County Museum in Kashgar
Now I am satisfied with my own life!
Thanks to the Education and Training Center for helping me get rid of the shackles of religious extreme thoughts, allowing me to live a normal life and become a useful person to society.
[Concurrent period] Aizmat Turxun, a resident of Baicheng County, Aksu Prefecture
Some people outside of China say that we ethnic minorities in Xinjiang are being "forced to labor." I find it ridiculous.
We go out to work to earn more money and live a better life. Does this need to be forced?
[Commentary] Xu Guixiang said that through these stories, you can see what Xinjiang has done in an upright and open manner, in order to promote harmony and harmonious development of all ethnic groups.
Individual politicians, institutions and media in the United States and the West have turned black and white and spread rumors and slanders.
Their fundamental purpose in doing so is to provoke ethnic relations, undermine Xinjiang's security and stability, and hinder China's development and growth.
[Commentary] Xu Guixiang said, "It is better to hear a hundred times than to see."
Xinjiang is now in the tourist season. The snow-capped mountains and grasslands are full of vigor, forests and lakes are full of vitality, exotic flowers and grasses compete with each other, and the taste of melons and fruits is long. Welcome everyone to visit Xinjiang.
