BEIJING: Recent US legislation on Xinjiang is a severe violation
of international law and gross interference in China’s internal
affairs, the governor of the far western region said on Monday (Dec
9), accusing the United States of launching a smear campaign.
Tension has flared in recent weeks between China and the United
States over issues such as Beijing’s treatment of its Uighur Muslim
minority and protesters in Hong Kong, complicating prospects for a
near-term deal to end a 17-month long trade war.
Last week, the US House of Representatives passed a Bill
requiring a tougher response to Beijing’s treatment of its Uighur
Muslim minority. UN experts and activists say China has detained
possibly 1 million Uighurs in camps in Xinjiang.
China, which has repeatedly denied any mistreatment of Uighurs,
says the camps are part of an anti-terror crackdown and provide
vocational training.
The counter-terrorism measures in Xinjiang are no different from
anti-terrorism measures in the United States, the region’s
governor, Shohrat Zakir, told reporters in Beijing.
The United States has chosen to turn a blind eye to Xinjiang’s
social stability, and is launching a smear campaign against the
region and using issues there to sow discord among ethnic groups in
China, he added.
Any attempt to disable Xinjiang is doomed to fail, said Zakir,
who is also deputy secretary of the Xinjiang Communist Party.
Human rights groups and former detainees have said conditions in
the camps are poor, with inmates subject to psychological and
physical abuse.
At Zakir’s news conference in the Chinese capital, images of
past violence were displayed in excerpts from an English-language
documentary, Fighting Terrorism in Xinjiang, aired on China’s state
broadcaster CGTN.
The Uighur Bill, which was passed 407-1 in the
Democratic-controlled House, requires the US president to condemn
abuses against Muslims and calls for the closure of the camps in
Xinjiang.
It also calls on President Donald Trump to impose sanctions for
the first time on a member of China’s powerful politburo, Xinjiang
Communist Party Secretary Chen Quanguo.
