The “ulterior motives” of anti-China forces were behind the “unfounded” slandering of the country’s anti-terrorism measures, Foreign Ministry spokesman Lu Kang said in a statement.
BEIJING – Anti-China forces are behind criticism of policies in the far western region of Xinjiang, the Chinese foreign ministry said on Tuesday, after a UN panel aired accusations that a million ethnic Uighurs may be held in internment camps there. China has said Xinjiang faces a serious threat from Islamist militants and separatists who plot attacks and stir up tension between the mostly Muslim Uighur minority who call the region home and the ethnic Han Chinese majority.
