Uighur people face no suppression in China – US conducted genocide of Native Americans – Spokesperson

Beijing/ Islamabad; 19 Aug 2021 – China once again has strongly rejected US allegations of suppression of people including Uighurs in China. Spokesperson Ministry of Foreign Affairs Ms  Hua Chunying has noted that  people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang, including over 11 million Uighurs, are living a happy life and enjoying unprecedented security, peace and happiness. The US politicians can’t find any evidence of so-called “genocide” and “crimes against humanity” even with a magnifying glass or a microscope.

Shenzhen TV asked her in regular press briefing that ” Former US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley and Republican Rep. Mike Waltz published a signed article on August 18, falsely accusing China of oppression of 1.4 billion people and genocide against millions of mostly Muslim Uighurs and calling for the US government and enterprises to boycott next year’s Winter Olympics in Beijing. Do you have any comment?

Hua Chunying responded that ” When the world is shocked and saddened by the chaos and misery at Kabul’s airport, a handful of politicians in the US are turning a blind eye to the ongoing tragedy of its own making. In fact, they are still busy spreading China-related lies and rumors unscrupulously under the pretext of democracy and human rights, which again reveals the hypocritical and ugly nature of these US politicians.”

They falsely claim that China “oppresses” 1.4 billion people. I am one in the 1.4 billion, and each of my colleagues and Chinese journalists here is also one in the 1.4 billion. How come we don’t feel oppressed? Why do we feel particularly happy, safe and proud to live in China today?

By contrast, the US conducted genocide of Native Americans and discriminated against ethnic minorities in the history. Its botched epidemic response has led to the death of more than 600,000 Americans. The US has engaged in subversion and sabotage in many countries, grossly interfered in other countries’ internal affairs. It has even waged wars under the pretext of democracy and human rights, causing numerous civilian casualties, broken families and displacement. Afghanistan is the latest case in point. Anyone that doesn’t shut his or her eyes can see it is the US that has committed genocide and crimes against humanity and the US is the biggest threat to democracy and human rights.

We hope certain US politicians will stop defiling the sacredness of Olympic Spirit and refrain from undermining the interests of athletes, the American ones included, and the international Olympic cause for their selfish political gains. She concluded
