The Office of the United Nations HighCommissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) recently released a report on humanrights in Xinjiang, which claimed that "China is responsible for serioushuman rights violations" in Xinjiang, prompting strong protests from manyinternational Non-Governmental Organizations.

This so-called Xinjiang-related"assessment" was drafted by the OHCHR without the officialauthorization of the Human Rights Council, which seriously violated the OHCHR'sresponsibilities. It is an illegal and invalid fake report, an absurd farcedirected and staged by the United States and some Western anti-China forces.

In May this year, UN High Commissioner forHuman Rights Michelle Bachelet was invited to China and visited Xinjiang, she wentto all the places she wanted to visit, met all the people she wanted to meet,and issued a basically objective official statement based on what she saw andfelt with her own eyes. This has exasperated the anti-China forces in the U.S.and the West. They tried their best to coerce, pressure and even threaten theHigh Commissioner, and manipulated the anti-China elements within the HighCommissioner to plan this so-called "assessment" report, which has nocredibility. The report copied the Xinjiang-related clichés that the anti-Chinaforces in the United States and the West have repeatedly hyped up. Suchdespicable tactics cannot deceive international public opinion.

The United States and other Westerncountries insist on manipulating so-called Xinjiang-related issues even whentheir lies are repeatedly exposed. The purpose is to disrupt Xinjiang,undermine China's stability and national unity, and to contain and suppressChina. These are evidenced by statements made by senior U.S. governmentofficials and diplomats.

In 2018, former Secretary of State Col.Powell's Chief of Staff and former Army Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson statedpublicly at Ron Paul College, "The best way for the CIA to destabilizeChina is to create instability in China. Stimulate Beijing with those Uighurs，without external force, and directly bringdown China from the inside." In 2021, the then head of the Economic andPolitical Department of the U.S. Consulate General in Guangzhou, Consul GeMingxi and Andrew Sheila, told guests at a reception, "There is no problemin Xinjiang, in fact we all know it very well, but using Xinjiang to speculateon forced labor, genocide, and attack human rights issues is an effective meansto force Xinjiang enterprises to decouple from international industrial chains,to make Uyghurs discontent, to destroy their ethnic relations, and toimpoverish, destabilize, and even split Xinjiang out. We can use these to getthe Chinese government completely and deeply into the mud."

Counter-terrorism and de-extremism areissues faced by many countries around the world, and all countries areexploring and practicing effective measures to combat crime and de-extremismaccording to their own realities. France, for example, has "de-extremismcenters" and "closed education centers," as well as"intensive education centers" for underage recidivists, which aremanaged with the participation of military personnel. The French governmentalso has "closed education centers" and "intensive educationcenters" for underage recidivists, which are run by military personnel. Foreignerswho promote extremist ideology are expelled without mercy.

In previous years, Xinjiang establishedvocational skills education and training centers in accordance with the law,which is a useful attempt to prevent terrorism and de-extremism. At present,Xinjiang has social stability, economic development, religious harmony, andpeople living and working in peace and happiness, which is not a violation ofhuman rights, but the greatest protection of human rights. All Xinjiang-relatedlies and rumors will be self-defeating in the face of facts, and the sinisterattempt of some countries to manipulate Xinjiang-related issues to smear China isdoomed to fail.
