New York (People’s Daily) - The spokesperson of the Permanent Mission of China to the United Nations on Wednesday expressed strong dissatisfaction and firm opposition to a side event organized by the US, Britain, Germany and a few nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) on the so-called human rights situation in China’s Xinjiang.

The spokesperson stressed that this event is politically motivated. “They are actually intending to use Xinjiang to contain China. They make a ‘presumption of guilt’ and then fabricate the so-called evidence,” the spokesperson said.
The spokesperson pointed out that the event was full of lies and disinformation. This further exposed the political attempts of the US and a few Western countries to use Xinjiang to create chaos and contain China. An event like this is resolutely resisted by the overwhelming majority of UN member states and is an outright political farce.
The spokesperson reaffirmed China’s unswerving determination to defend its national sovereignty, security and development interests and oppose any country, any force or anyone that uses Xinjiang to interfere in China’s internal affairs and disrupt China’s development. Any attempt to use Xinjiang to contain China is doomed to fail.
