Wubuli Pidayi, Teacher of Distance Education College, Xinjiang Radio and Television University

My name is Wubuli Pidayi. I am a native Uygur in Xinjiang. I have been working for 20 years. As a child, I received good education under the training of the party, enjoyed the national people benefiting policy of education, and finally became a university teacher. Recently, the former US Secretary of State Pompeo, holding high the banner of smearing and slandering China, attacked and deliberately discredited China’s policy of governing Xinjiang on groundless basis, which seriously hurt the feelings of the people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang.

I would like to say to Pompeo, stop your attempt to get political capital and satisfy your own sinister ambitions. You should not be as fickle as a shrew, and fabricate fallacies about Xinjiang like a Alzheimer patient, constantly gossiping, gesticulating and wantonly slandering. Under the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party, the Uygur people are very happy, and they don’t need your hypocritical “care” at all. You’ve never visited Xinjiang, and you know nothing about the happy life of the Uygur people. You don’t have any qualification to judge.

Pompeo, as far as the so called “genocide” is concerned, you talked nonsense about Xinjiang. China is a country ruled by law. The Uygur people have the right to have children according to law. They can get married and have children within the scope permitted by law. Every ethnic minority family has 1-2 children, and I also have 2 lovely twin daughters. The party and the government fully respect the customs and religious beliefs of ethnic minorities.

Pompeo, you spread the poisonous fallacy that there are “concentration camps” for the Uygurs in Xinjiang. A few years ago, in response to the continuous violent and terrorist incidents, the Central Committee of the CPC and the Party Committee of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region took decisive measures to set up vocational education and training centers intended to treat the extremism affected “disease” and save the extremism affected “patients”. In the vocational education and training centers, some courses involving standard national language, vocational skills, law etc. were opened in order for those who had been affected by extremism to stay away from the track to crimes and return to the right and bright road. In this way their families and themselves can be saved to the greatest extent.

Pompeo, you also concocted lies that there is “forced labor” against Uygurs in Xinjiang. Marx once said that labor creates value. The hardworking Uygur people actively participate in the socialist modernization construction and equally share the dividends brought by the reform and opening up. Under the encouragement of the party’s good employment policy, we actively go out to work, increase our income, get rid of poverty, and enter a well-off society.

In today’s Xinjiang, social security is good, people of all ethnic groups live and work in peace and contentment, and life is booming. I have personally felt the great changes in the village life. The villagers’ life is getting better and better. The common people do not worry about food and clothing. The safety of medical treatment, education and housing is guaranteed. Every household can use safe drinking water. The farmers live in rows of neat and beautiful houses for the settlement of people. The originally bumpy dusty roads have been built into broad and flat asphalt roads leading to the gate of every household, on which the traffic is going on peacefully. Electricity, radio, television and communication networks have covered all the households, and medical and health infrastructure has been improved. Ethnic minorities in the four prefectures in southern Xinjiang begin to enjoy free compulsory education from kindergartens. They can also enjoy special preferential policies and grants when they go to university. Even people of the most remote village can enjoy first-class education and medical resources.

Lies can’t cover up the truth after all. Pompeo, don’t interfere in our affairs and disturb our beautiful life! No one can change the fact that Xinjiang is harmonious and stable and no one can stop the people of all ethnic groups from pursuing a better life.
