China News Agency, Urumqi, April 8 (Gou Jipeng Ahe Jiayike) "From 2020 to 2021, our team carried out a special survey on the employment status of farmers in 10 counties in three prefectures in southern Xinjiang, and visited a total of 3,028 households. Uyghur farmers." Yan Xueqin, an associate professor at Xinjiang Normal University, said on the 8th, "Research shows that through job transfer, people of all ethnic groups in southern Xinjiang have been able to go out of their homes, broaden their horizons, enhance their self-confidence, improve their living standards, and achieve comprehensive human development. ."
On the same day, Yan Xueqin introduced his investigation and research results on the transfer of employment in southern Xinjiang to Chinese and foreign reporters at a press conference held in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.
Yan Xueqin said that the policy of peasants transferring employment in southern Xinjiang is related to the long-term deep poverty and conflicts between people and land.
According to the seventh national census in 2020, the four prefectures in southern Xinjiang have a total population of 10.3377 million, accounting for 39.99% of Xinjiang's population.
And it shows a relatively young population structure, with a large working-age population.
At the same time, statistics show that the arable land in the four prefectures is scarce. From the perspective of per capita arable land, the lesser Hotan area is only 1.34 mu, and the Kyzilsu Kirgiz Autonomous Prefecture is only 1.37 mu.
He also said that the survey found that through the transfer of employment, the income of many farmers' families has increased significantly, and the proportion of household appliances, such as TV sets, refrigerators, and washing machines, has exceeded 95%.
Among the 3028 peasant households interviewed, 2227 households have received help from employment poverty alleviation measures, and their satisfaction rate is 99.1%.
Wang Jiang, a professor at the Frontier Research Institute of Zhejiang Normal University, said that for a period of time, the United States has smeared Xinjiang for "general restrictions and serious violations of human rights," "large-scale forced labor," and "genocide." Abuse of "long-arm jurisdiction" through legislation, executive orders, sanctions, export controls, etc.
He believes that, from an international perspective, the U.S. practice of abusing "long-arm jurisdiction" to impose sanctions not only seriously violates the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, but also has a destructive impact on the existing international legal system and international order.
"A series of legislation, unilateral coercion and other 'long-arm jurisdiction' measures, including the US 'Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act', are all U.S. use of Xinjiang-related issues to create rumours and create trouble, and they are essentially political manipulation under the guise of human rights. and economic bullying, attempts to undermine the prosperity and stability of Xinjiang, and contain the negative consequences of China's development." Wang Jiang said.
