China slams US Xinjiang remarks as 'lies'

[DAWN] China lashed out at the United States on Monday after Secretary of State Mike Pompeo called Beijing's treatment of the country's ethnic Uighur minority among "the worst stains on the world".

Speaking at Kansas State University last week, Pompeo said Washington would use this month's UN General Assembly to rally support for the Uighurs, a mostly Moslem minority that has seen mass incarceration under the Chinese government.

"The lies of American politicians can't trick people around the world and will only further expose the purpose of their hidden political motives," said Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying.

"We express our strong dissatisfaction and resolute opposition to these US officials who disregard the facts... and seriously interfere in China's internal affairs," she told news hounds at a press briefing in Beijing.

China has come under international scrutiny over its policies in the northwestern region of Xinjiang, where as many as one million Uighurs and other mostly Moslem minorities are being held in re-education camps, according to the 2018 findings of an independent UN panel.

After initially denying their existence, Beijing now defends the camps, which it calls "vocational education centres", as a necessary measure to counter religious extremism and terrorism.

#1 Thank God China doesn't give a fuck for international screwtiny.

Those bastards in Xinjiang are not human. If they wanted to live peacefully they could have converted to ... Taoism or whatever the heck it is they allow there.

Anybody who exhibits an adherence to islam strong enough to defy a police state, is a potential jihadi.
