China News Agency, Beijing, May 22 (Reporter Yang Chengchen) The chief writers of several independent research reports on Xinjiang said at a seminar on the 22nd, combined with their investigations, that there is no so-called "forced labor" in Xinjiang. Logical and out of touch with reality.

The rights and interests of workers in Xinjiang's cotton industry are guaranteed.

　　In recent years, the United States and the West have been using Xinjiang-related issues to smear China in an attempt to "use Xinjiang to control China."

In order to truly show the development of Xinjiang, Xinjiang University, Lanzhou University, Southwest University of Political Science and Law, Jinan University, etc. have successively released more than 10 independent research reports since 2019.

In response to issues such as labor and employment in Xinjiang, a seminar on "Labor and Employment in Xinjiang" hosted by the Institute of Communication and Frontier Governance and the School of Journalism and Communication of Jinan University was held on the 22nd. way to discuss.

　　Li Jie, a professor at the Institute of Central Asian Studies at Lanzhou University and the chief editor of "The Political Conspiracy and Path of the U.S. "Using Xinjiang to Control China", said in his speech that the U.S. ignores the effectiveness of Xinjiang's counter-terrorism and de-radicalization work in maintaining social stability and protecting human rights. Intentionally provoking contradictions and creating confrontation; denying the demands of people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang to improve their skills, expand employment and increase their income.

The US's hegemonic human rights narrative, combined with its China strategy, eventually became a tool strategy of "using Xinjiang to control China".

　　Li Jie said that the more sinister conspiracy is that the United States is trying to stifle Xinjiang's economy at the industrial and supply chain levels in the name of "forced labor" and "human rights violations", and block the modernization process of Xinjiang's economy and society.

In the process of stigmatizing Xinjiang in an all-round way, the Xinjiang-related issues in Western discourses led by the United States have been separated from the reality of Xinjiang's own development and stability.

　　Shang Haiming, associate professor of the Human Rights Research Institute of Southwest University of Political Science and Law, and the chief editor of "Xinjiang Cotton Can't Be Smeared--An Investigation Report on Whether There Is "Forced Labor" in Xinjiang Cotton Production", pointed out that the Western accusations about cotton picking in Xinjiang lacked factual basis, and Xinjiang cotton production was seriously lacking in fact. There is no sign of "forced labor" in every link of the process.

The survey found that compared with other occupations, the high income of cotton picking is very attractive to people in southern Xinjiang.

Especially with the massive increase in mechanized picking, cotton picking jobs have become increasingly scarce and sought-after.

The malicious interpretation of the cotton picking work in Xinjiang by the West is illogical, and it is a false statement that lacks a true understanding of Xinjiang.

　　Li Hua, a special researcher of the Institute of Communication and Frontier Governance of Jinan University and the chief editor of "Hindering Transactions, Increasing Costs and Destroying the Industrial Chain - The Impact of U.S. Xinjiang-related Sanctions on the Global Cotton Industrial Chain", said that through the cotton industry, the living standards of growers have greatly improved. The living standard has improved significantly.

Under the transmission effect of the US sanctions, Xinjiang cotton farmers are most likely to be directly impacted; but under the escort of the Chinese government, related enterprises and cooperatives, the rights and interests of the farmers have been guaranteed, "they hardly felt the US sanctions. Impact".

　　In response to the migrant youth group in Xinjiang, Tan Luanyu, the chief editor of the "Investigation Report on the Migrant Work Situation of Young People of All Ethnic Groups in Xinjiang" from the Human Rights Research Institute of Southwest University of Political Science and Law, said that Xinjiang employees not only broadened their horizons, increased their economic income, improved their Improve the quality of family life, but also made friends in the process of working.

Xinjiang employees and other workers' associations often exchange stories about their growth, ethnic customs, etc., and deepen their understanding of each other.

Xinjiang employees have plans for their own development.
