  China News Agency, Urumqi, March 24th: Wang Hongli: Why is Xinjiang's prosperity and development the most powerful counterattack to smash the US political plan of "using Xinjiang to control China"?

  On December 23, 2021, the United States signed the so-called "Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act" into law. Under the guise of human rights, it banned all Xinjiang products from being imported into the United States under the pretext of "forced labor".

  This "Act" has become law. It is one of the more and more China-related and Xinjiang-related bills in the United States. It is another realistic example of the United States' implementation of hegemonism and power politics. Another concrete action of the rise.

  The truth is always the "shredder" of lies.

In fact, Xinjiang has always adhered to the people-centered development philosophy, and continued to promote the people-benefiting projects focusing on employment, medical care, and education, so that the results of development can better benefit the people.

Xinjiang presents a picture of a stable and peaceful society in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, a booming economy, and a continuous improvement in people's lives.

Long-arm jurisdiction is the consistent bullying method of the United States

  The United States is a country that is used to sanctions. It has long used its global financial hegemony and scientific and technological level advantages to frequently use the name of "democracy", "human rights" and "national security" to override its own domestic law over international law, arbitrarily sanctioning, suppressing the A country that it regards as an enemy or adversary.

Due to the long-term implementation of sanctions against other countries by the United States, a systematic and complete sanctions system has already been formed, and rich experience in sanctions has been accumulated.

  The United States uses three means of finance, technology and law to suppress its competitors to maintain its economic hegemony, political hegemony and world dominance.

In terms of financial means, the United States has put relevant companies on the sanctions list, excluding them from the "dollar settlement system"; in terms of technical means, the United States has implemented export control bans, curbed the lifeline of enterprises, and controlled the global military, high-tech, and US dollars. Leading hegemony; legally, above international law, using domestic legal procedures, using different combinations of various policy tools such as long-arm jurisdiction and entity lists, and finally developed a habit of using "national security issues" and "human rights issues". "Anti-corruption" and other disposal methods with legal sources are obviously subjective, arbitrary, and political. There is no doubt that "the interests of the United States come first", but it is just that the United States strengthens its hegemonic position and does not tolerate any competition and transcendence. Potential support tool only.

  U.S. customary sanctions are too numerous to list.

In his 2019 book, The American Trap, Frederic Pierucci, a former executive of French Alstom Group, pointed out: "Since 2008, 26 companies have been fined more than $100 million in the United States, of which 14 European companies (5 French companies) and only 5 US companies. The total fines paid by European companies to date are about to exceed 6 billion US dollars, of which only French companies have paid nearly 2 billion US dollars in fines, and 6 I am one of the top corporate executives indicted by the U.S. Department of Justice."

The political plot of "using Xinjiang to control China" is obvious

  In recent years, the United States has continuously created Xinjiang issues, using the so-called "Xinjiang issue" to smear China's human rights situation and attack China's Xinjiang policy. The intention is to undermine the great achievements of Xinjiang's anti-separatist, anti-violence, terrorism and de-radicalization cause, and to undermine the stability and harmony of Xinjiang. The social development of all ethnic groups and the happy life of stability and unity of the people of all ethnic groups, and then contain the rise of China.

The political purpose of the United States is obvious, and various sanctions are various.

This is the case with the signing of the so-called "Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act", which is just one of many Xinjiang-related anti-China bills.

In June 2021, the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region held a press conference in Beijing on the so-called "forced labor" issue in Xinjiang hyped by the United States and the West.

  According to incomplete statistics for 2021 alone, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection has issued 7 temporary detention orders for goods exported to the United States involving "forced labor", including cotton products such as clothing and textiles produced in Xinjiang, tomato seeds, canned tomatoes, and tomato products. Soy sauce and its tomato products, silicon-based products, electronic products, etc., detained and confiscated goods with a total value of about 485 million US dollars, and unreasonably prohibited Xinjiang cotton, tomatoes, photovoltaics and other advantageous industrial products from being imported into the United States.

The United States signed the "Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act" into law, arbitrarily determined that all goods produced in Xinjiang involve forced labor, and declared that it "uses all the powers the U.S. government has", including bilateral and multilateral mechanisms, visa and financial sanctions, export restrictions and Import Control to "Lead the International Community in Ending the Practice of Forced Labor".

  This is a comprehensive suppression of enterprises and commodities in Xinjiang. It is a naked deprivation of the rights of people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang to pursue a better life through labor and employment, an attempt to stifle the rights of enterprises in Xinjiang to survive and develop, and a delusional act of disrupting other countries and leaving The usual trick, how naked the plot of "using Xinjiang to control China" does not need to be covered up.

The prosperity and development of Xinjiang is the most powerful counterattack

  A happy life for the people is the greatest human right.

Xinjiang spends more than 70% of the general public budget expenditure on safeguarding and improving people's livelihood every year.

In 2021, Xinjiang will achieve a regional GDP of 1.6 trillion yuan (RMB, the same below), an increase of 7%. The per capita disposable income of urban and rural residents will increase by 8% and 10.8%, respectively. The income and welfare of people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang will be greatly improved. The income structure was continuously optimized.

  Xinjiang has always regarded respecting the wishes of workers as an important basis for formulating employment policies, expanding employment channels, developing employment positions, conducting employment training, and providing employment services, ensuring that the majority of workers can choose the form of labor voluntarily and maintain continuous and stable employment.

In the past five years, 2.3486 million new jobs have been created in cities and towns in Xinjiang, 14.333 million rural surplus laborers have been employed, and the total number of employed persons has exceeded 13 million.

  The level of basic public services such as education, medical care, culture and social security in Xinjiang has been significantly improved, and the ecological environment has been improving day by day.

Xinjiang has built a grass-roots medical and health service network covering urban and rural areas, and the standardization rate of township health centers and village clinics has reached 100%.

Since 2016, the government has invested a total of 8.18 billion yuan in medical examinations, and urban and rural residents can enjoy a free medical examination every year.

Xinjiang has achieved full coverage of nine-year compulsory education, and four prefectures in southern Xinjiang have achieved full coverage of 15-year free education.

Xinjiang has established a wide-coverage, basic and multi-level social security system.

The national insurance plan was implemented, and the basic endowment insurance participation rate for urban and rural residents was stabilized at 95%.

  Contrasting the two, the United States' strategic conspiracy to create the so-called Xinjiang issue and human rights issue in an attempt to "mess up and contain China from the inside for a long time" is absurd and ridiculous.

How can people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang ignore the "noisy voice" made by the United States?

  Xinjiang's development achievements are universally recognized, and people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang live and work in peace and contentment for all to see.

The high-quality economic and social development of Xinjiang and the peaceful, united, prosperous and prosperous days of the people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang will be the most powerful counterattack to smash the American-style hegemony.
