China on U.S. Xinjiang bill: 'Attempt to contain China doomed to fail'
Updated 20:11, 04-Dec-2019

China Wednesday reiterated its strong condemnation to the U.S. House's approval of a bill targeting its far west Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, clarifying that Xinjiang's problems are related to terrorism and separatism rather than human rights or ethnic minorities. While accusation from the U.S. exposed its double standard and its attempt to contain China which will never succeed.

The act would tighten export controls on technology that could be used to "suppress individual privacy, freedom of movement and other basic human rights."

The Uygur Intervention and Global Humanitarian Unified Response Act (UIGHUR Act) of 2019 was passed on Tuesday local time, which serves as a revamped version of a bill in September by the upper chamber of Congress in September. The U.S.'s latest move on Xinjiang came just a week after U.S. President Donald Trump has decided to sign Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act of 2019 into law.

'Attempt to contain China will never succeed'

Hua Chunying, spokesperson for the Chinese Foreign Ministry, blasted the groundless accusation made by some U.S. politicians on Xinjiang's vocational training centers, stressing the move was welcomed by people in Xinjiang and well recognized by the international community.

According to Hua, conducting education and training centers in Xinjiang is a response to UN's Plan of Action to Prevent Violent Extremism which proposes to provide education and opportunities to those who are influenced by violent groups and extremism.

Hua blasted the U.S. of playing double standard by denigrating China's great contribution to counterterrorism and positive comments on Xinjiang's development from the international community while turning a blind eye on its own human rights problem.

She referred to the U.S. government adopting forced cultural assimilation of Native Americans and slaughtered Native Americans in its past 200 years of history, saying the U.S. politicians have "no conscience" and their attempt to contain China's rapid development will never succeed.

Hua warned that "for all wrong actions and words that harm China's national interests, the proper price must be paid," reiterating that China has the capability to defend it national sovereignty and interests.

Hua made similar remarks earlier on Wednesday shortly after the passage of the U.S. bill, saying it is a "a malicious attack on the Chinese government's policy towards Xinjiang" which deliberately denigrates China's human rights situation and wantonly smears China's efforts to eliminate terrorism and combat extremism.

"This is not only a serious violation of international law and basic rules of international relations, but also a grave interference in China's internal affairs. We deliver our strong indignation and firm opposition against the bill," said Hua.

'Xinjiang has no human rights issues'

The problems in Xinjiang has nothing to do with human rights, ethnic groups or religion, but anti-terrorism and anti-separatism, Hua pointed out.

"There was a time when Xinjiang was disturbed by extreme acts and terrorist activities, yet the Xinjiang local government has been combating such behaviors in accordance with the law since."

According to a white paper released in March by China's State Council Information Office, Xinjiang has destroyed 1,588 violent and terrorist gangs, arrested 12,995 terrorists, seized 2,052 explosive devices, punished 30,645 people for 4,858 illegal religious activities, and confiscated 345,229 copies of illegal religious materials since 2014.

People's religious freedom is also protected. Based on data released by the government, there are roughly 200 million believers in the country, among whom over 20 million are Muslims, 380,000 clergy, 5,500 registered religious groups, and 140,000 registry offices. Xinjiang alone has 24,400 mosques.

The Foreign Ministry spokesperson also cited comments from the international community. According to the official, over 1,000 people from different countries and countries, international organizations, religious groups or just independent scholars have visited Xinjiang since the end of last year, whom praised the region's efforts in anti-terrorism and anti-terrorism.

'Training centers, not camps'

A senior anti-terrorism official also slammed "re-education camps" allegations by the U.S., stressing that those are "vocational training centers" that are in response to the threat of religious extremism.

"Those training centers were designed to help with employment while eliminating extremism," Liu Yuejin, head of China's national anti-terrorism leading group office.

Calling the efforts "China's exploration in anti-terrorism and anti-extremism," Liu said the anti-extremism measures they've put forth both for "combating and for preventing"

Officials have made clear that the government has gradually downsized the training programs starting from the beginning of this year, "as the counter-terrorism situation improves."

'Xinjiang issues are our internal affairs'

China urged the U.S. to stay out from its internal issues.

"We state our position clearly to the U.S. that as Xinjiang is part of China, its affairs are purely domestic affairs that allow no foreign interference," Hua said, adding that the bill smears China's efforts in counter-terrorism and de-radicalization, which only reveals America's double standards on counter-terrorism and further exposes to the Chinese people its hypocrisy and malicious intentions.

Hua said the Chinese government and people are determined to safeguard national sovereignty, security and development interests. "We urge the U.S. to correct its mistakes at once, prevent this bill from becoming law, and stop using Xinjiang-related issues to interfere in China's internal affairs. China will take further actions according to how the situation develops."

Several other departments including the Foreign Affairs Committee of the National People's Congress, the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, China's National Ethnic Affairs Commission, as well as Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region government have also denounced the act.

Agreed; Communists are hell bent on their destruction. For what it is worth, I am 200% behind US in putting China on this in front of the world. This is cultural genocide.
But US believes Xinjiang is part of China, so you 200% behind US is a joke. and US also passed many bills about Tibet, did they win the fight over Tibet?

xinjiang is not part of china, the sooner you realize the better.

Yea sure ..... now, when are you going and Liberating it from China you keyboard warrior?? Or you going to keep scratching that arse of yours while typing? :omghaha:

The Chinese people inherited Tibet and Xinjiang from the Mongol-Manchu Qing Dynasty, they are the individuals who conquered both. Not the Han Chinese. In today's political climate, do you think any Han Chinese would be in favor of independence for Tibet and Xinjiang for US military to set up 50 military bases on the border of China, the West needs to have their heads re-examined. Chinese are among the smartest people in the world. The Western Territories belong to China, it is not like the natives were kicked off their homeland and put in concentration camps like the American Indians were removed from their homes to be put on postage stamp concentration camp reservations far from home where they still live in poverty today with higher mortality rates than those who stole the land and got rich off of theft and genocide.

China is a far better caretaker of the Western provinces than NATO by no comparison. The former are peaceful people, the latter are serial genociders.

US solution to their muslim problem, bomb the shit out middle east to keep the terrorism there.

Here is how the West views the movement of Muslim expats in the world:


To trump, Muslims have to stay in their bombed out cities, bombed out by NATO and other European nations. There would be millions of Syrians dead from the Washington created civil war if Syrians stayed in the cities waiting to be bombed. But they left and neo-nazis don't want Muslim expats in their country. But the West feels they can go to any country and be migrants there. Syrian expats in Europe deserve to stay in Europe and can decide to go back to Syria once the civil war is over. Western unwanted European migrants should return to their place of origin. They bring intolerance where they go.

NATO members are trying to turn Xinjiang into another Afghanistan, a disaster and failed state, and China is doing what they can to prevent radicalism in their own country and bring prosperity and peace to Uighur Muslims. Big difference.

The PRC inherited jack sh*t from the Qing Dynasty.

The People's Liberation Army entered Xinjiang in 1949 and the Kuomintang commander Tao Zhiyue surrendered the province to them.

PLA invaded and annexed Tibet in October 1950.

The PRC under Chairman Mao had to fight tooth and nail for every inch of territory, and I'll be DAMN if we give up this territory without a fight.

Btw, how the hell do you think the US acquired the American Southwest? You think these territories held a democratic election to join the US?:lol:
