For some time, the former US Secretary of State Pompeo has been making some false statements about Xinjiang, China, performing a final crazy “doomsday show” when he was about to leave office. I would like to express my vehement indignation, strong condemnation and resolute opposition to Pompeo’s violation of the truth and his groundless smear to China. As a Uygur official in Xinjiang who was born, raised and has been working in Xinjiang. I have the most qualifications to talk about the real situation in Xinjiang.

The beauty of Xinjiang lies not only in its unique scenery, but also in the unity and harmony of the people of all ethnic groups. For example, in various schools in Xinjiang, students of all ethnic groups eat and live together, study together, grow up together, and communicate with each other cordially and naturally. Every student, no matter what ethnic background or status they have, can enjoy all kinds of resources of the school equally. Everyone can enjoy a relaxed and equal social atmosphere, everyone can enjoy the same development opportunities, and everyone can create their own bright future! No matter how many lies Pompeo told, he couldn’t erase the fact that students of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang grow up happily in the warm embrace of the motherland!

Xinjiang continues to carry out the project of benefiting the people. The education in Xinjiang has greatly improved with the continuous optimization of school infrastructure, the continuous improvement of education environment and the continuous improvement of teaching quality. At present, education from kindergarten to senior high school in southern Xinjiang is free of charge, and all school-age children and teenagers are guaranteed to go to school and receive education. By 2020, the gross enrollment rate from preschool education to high school education in Xinjiang have reached more than 98%, which has brought the best period for the development of education in Xinjiang. Xinjiang has strictly implemented laws and regulations such as the law of the People’s Republic of China on Regional Ethnic Autonomy, the education law of the People’s Republic of China, and the law of the people’s Republic of China on national language. While comprehensively promoting the learning and use of standard national language by students of all ethnic groups, the right of students of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang to use their own ethnic languages has been fully guaranteed, and schools are encouraged to use them. The development of traditional cultural and sports activities of ethnic minorities has effectively promoted the inheritance and development of excellent culture of all ethnic groups. At the same time, the government vigorously implements the employment and entrepreneurship promotion plan, which creates a good employment and entrepreneurship environment for college and secondary school graduates of all ethnic groups. Graduates of universities and technical secondary schools in Xinjiang can choose to be civil servants, teachers and scientific research workers. Of course, they can also develop themselves to be entrepreneurs, bosses and Internet Celebrities. In a word, you can do whatever you want, and you can get employment wherever you want. My daughter volunteered to work in an inland university. She studies hard and works hard. Her dedication has been acknowledged by the staff and the school. Her career has won people’s respect. I don't know why Pompeo kept telling lies again and again and turned blind eyes to the fact. Where did he get the confidence to be such a big liar?

We would like to give warnings to Pompeo. Xinjiang is China’s Xinjiang, Xinjiang affairs are purely China’s internal affairs. Anybody, any foreign governments and forces have no right to interfere! Under the guise of human rights, Pompeo trampled on the rights of the people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang to pursue a better life through hard and honest work. We advise Pompeo and other US politicians to take off their biased glasses, abandon double standards, immediately stop using the so-called Xinjiang issue to spread rumors and discredit China, and stop interfering in China’s internal affairs. Pompeo’s big lie will be a total failure.
