China Condemns US, UK, Germany Support for Uyghurs as "Pressure Tactic Against China"

On the 7th of last month (local time), Uyghurs held a protest in front of the Chinese Embassy in Istanbul, Turkey, holding the East Turkestan flag.

China openly expressed its discomfort with the Xinjiang Uyghur support event led by the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany.

Hua Chunying, spokesperson for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said at a regular briefing on the 10th in response to related questions, "This event is an attempt by the United States and some other countries to fabricate so-called Xinjiang human rights issues in order to suppress and oppress China."

The ambassadors of the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany to the United Nations are scheduled to speak at a UN event held via video conference on the 12th, along with the heads of international human rights organizations such as Human Rights Watch (HRW) and Amnesty International.

This event is intended to discuss the UN system, the roles of member states, and civil society in supporting and advocating for the human rights of ethnic minorities in the Xinjiang region.

Spokesperson Hua Chunying stated, "Using the UN's resources and platform to attack China and pursue one’s own political interests is an insult to the UN," and claimed, "Some Western countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany cannot represent the UN and the international community."

She continued, "The United States claims to care about the human rights of Muslims, but it is the country that has killed the most Muslims in the world," criticizing, "The United States has waged wars in more than 80 countries worldwide under the name of counterterrorism, resulting in over 800,000 deaths."

Hua quoted a Chinese proverb, "A weasel pays New Year's respects to a chicken" (?鼠狼??拜年, meaning approaching with bad intentions), and raised her voice, saying, "The United States is spreading lies about Xinjiang human rights by any means necessary."

Meanwhile, it is reported that over one million Islamic ethnic minorities, including Uyghurs, are detained in camps by the Chinese government in Xinjiang. The UN and Western countries have raised suspicions that these detainees suffer from torture and are forced into labor.
