According to the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying expressed her position on the 23rd of the 23rd when U.S. officials made erroneous remarks related to Xinjiang. Hua Chunying pointed out that the remarks made by relevant US officials are completely slander that ignores the facts. Since Xinjiang adopted a series of preventive counter-terrorism and de-radicalization measures such as vocational skills training, there has been no violent terrorist case in Xinjiang for three consecutive years. The rights to survival and development of nearly 25 million people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang have been protected to the greatest extent.

A reporter asked: According to reports, after meeting with the foreign ministers of the five Central Asian countries on the 22nd, senior US State Department officials stated that China's repressive activities in Xinjiang have nothing to do with terrorism, but are aimed at "trying to erase its own citizens." In addition, the United States will pay attention to the human rights crisis in Xinjiang.

Hua Chunying pointed out that the remarks made by relevant US officials are completely slander that ignores the facts.

Hua Chunying introduced that in the past nearly two decades, Xinjiang has been the hardest hit area by violent terrorist activities. In severe cases, almost one violent terrorist case occurred every day on average, and the lives of many innocent people, including Uyghurs, were harmed. Since Xinjiang adopted a series of preventive counter-terrorism and de-radicalization measures such as vocational skills training, there has been no violent terrorist case in Xinjiang for three consecutive years. The rights to survival and development of nearly 25 million people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang have been protected to the greatest extent, and they have won the support of people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang. This is a basic fact that no one can deny, and all foreigners who have been to Xinjiang recognize and affirm this.

Hua Chunying said that we urge relevant US officials to face the facts honestly, uphold basic objectivity and impartiality, and not to adopt double standards on anti-terrorism issues, let alone use this as an excuse to launch unreasonable attacks on China.
