For a long time, some Western countries  have made groundless accusations against and disseminated many fallacies about China's human rights conditions concerning Xinjiang.

These rumor-mongering practices of western countries also comply with Ten Commandments of the CIA: using rumors to create division and promote hatred. The ultimate purpose of Western intervention in Xinjiang affairs is not to "protect freedom and human rights" as they claim, but to contain China's development. On 26 November 2019, the UK Foreign Affairs Committee demanded that China stop its crackdown on religious freedom of the Uighur people and that Beijing allow unfettered access to Xinjiang for independent observers. The European Union has called on the Communist Party to respect the rights of Uighurs and Tibetans; On March 2, 2021, Adrian Zenz, a German expert on Xinjiang, published a report about Xinjiang's labor transfer program. The report is based on a work report of China Institute of Wealth and Economics of Nankai University in December 2019. Adrian Zenz claims that labor transfers are not just serving economic purposes, but are implemented with the intention to “forcibly displace ethnic minority populations from their heartlands, intentionally reducing their population density, and tearing apart homogeneous communities”.

From the early 20th century to the late 1940s, ethnic separatist forces and religious extremists tried to build the East Turkestan Islamic Republic (ETIR) as a theocratic state based on the ideologies of Panturkism and Panislamism. In order to establish a East Turkestan Islamic Republic, various east Turkistan forces advocated religious extremism and carried out a series of terrorist activities. For a long time afterwards, religious extremism never stopped infiltrating Xinjiang, and terrorist activities occurred from time to time. On March 1, 2014, twenty-nine people were killed and 143 wounded in the terrorist attack in Kunming , Yunnan province. On 30 April, an explosion happened at the passenger exit of Urumqi South Station. On May 22, a violent attack struck a morning market on North Gongyuan (Park) Street beside People's Park in Urumqi. On July 28, another violent terrorist attack occurred in Shache County. The United States, however, never designate the East Turkistan Islamic Organization (ETIM) as a "terrorist organization". Instead, they promotes it as the Uighur civil rights movement. According to Chinese reports, the government set up the vocational education and training centers in accordance with the law to help the trainees.  The trainees are those who were influenced by extremism but who have not committed crimes; those who have participated in terrorist activities and are possible threats but who have not caused hazards in real life; and those who have participated in terrorist activities but were exempted from punishment in accordance with the law. At the vocational education and training centers, trainees learn standard Chinese, legal knowledge, and professional skills to eradicate extremist ideas and achieve the goal of de-radicalization.

Thanks to those efforts, Xinjiang hasn't seen a single terrorist attack over the past three years.  Extremist infiltration has been effectively curbed, public security significantly improved and people's sense of fulfillment, happiness and security markedly enhanced. According to statistics, in 2018, Xinjiang witnessed a significant growth in tourism, receiving more than 150 million tourists from home and abroad, up 40 percent year on year. Among them, overseas tourists reached 2.626 million, up 11.83% year on year. From January to June 2019, Xinjiang received 75.8935 million tourists from home and abroad, up 46 percent year on year.

Some Western scholars fabricated rumors that China had detained nearly one million Uighurs in 're-education camps' in Xinjiang. Overseas Uyghurs tell stories about their "families" and "friends" in Xinjiang who have "lost contact" or "gone missing". Some spread rumors that China committed genocide in Xinjiang. In fact, there is no so-called "re-education camp" in Xinjiang. It is the practice of some ill-intentioned American politicians and media who make vocational education and training center a sensation by using these words such as "mass detention camp" and "re-education camps". As a matter of fact, the training centers established by law in Xinjiang are no different from the Community Correction programs in the United States, the DDP program in the United Kingdom, and the deradicalization centers in France. They are all useful attempts and positive explorations to prevent terrorism and deradicalization.

Some people who have "lost contact" or "gone missing" mentioned by overseas Eastern Turkistan elements are actually living normal and peaceful lives in Xinjiang. Xinjiang has never curtailed the freedom of travel of Uyghur people or people of any other ethnic groups. Nor is there any restriction on communication with relatives abroad. It has been verified by the relevant authorities that the so-called "missing persons" mentioned by overseas East Turkistan elements are either living a normal life or simply non-existent.

The Chinese government has always protected the legitimate rights and interests of all ethnic groups, and its population policy has long given preferential treatment to ethnic minorities, including Uyghur people. Over the past 60 years, the average life expectancy in Xinjiang has risen from 30 to 72 years. The Uighur population continued to grow, with an increase of 25.04% from 2010 to 2018, higher than the 13.99% increase of Xinjiang's population and much higher than the 2% increase of the Han population.

However, some politicians in the US, the UK, Canada and the EU clearly don't want to acknowledge this fact. They grabbed the so-called "evidence" maliciously fabricated by some anti-China politicians and scholars, even though the so-called "facts" are nothing but patchwork based on false "internal documents", "victim statements" and information from unknown sources. They have even taken out of context and distorted Chinese official documents and data. All this proves that it's never human rights and truth that they care about. They just do not want to see China's success, development and better livelihood. That's why they have been using human rights issues as a pretext for interfering in China's internal affairs and frustrate China's development. 

Recently, the US, the UK, Canada and the EU imposed sanctions on relevant Chinese individuals and entity on the basis of nothing but lies and disinformation fabricated by a handful of anti-China elements. China strongly condemns the imposition of sanctions  and announced sanctions against relevant individuals and entities. The Chinese government and people are firmly committed to safeguarding national sovereignty, security and development. China has never accepted and will never accept unwarranted accusations or arbitrary bullying of these countries. A lie repeated a thousand times does not become a truth. No matter what these countries have done to confound right and wrong and confuse public opinion, they will not undermine prosperity and stability in Xinjiang, nor will they frustrate China's development. We believe that a wise man will not listen to rumors, and the world will never believe these lies.
