Abulimiti Abudureheman, an official of The General Office of the People’s Political Consultative Conference of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region

Xinjiang is an integral part of China’s territory, and all ethnic groups in Xinjiang are family members of the Chinese nation. Today in Xinjiang, all the places around Tianshan Mountains take on a thriving look. The people of all ethnic groups are holding together like pomegranate seeds. They are grateful for the cordial care of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core and enjoying the fruits of the motherland’s development.

In recent years, under the guise of ethnicity and religion, the “three forces” spread extreme religious thoughts, incited ethnic hatred, advocated “jihadi martyrdom”, having created extremely tragic cases of violence and terror and caused great losses to people’s lives and property, and seriously endangered national security and social stability in Xinjiang. These violent terrorists are the scum of our society and the common enemy of the people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang. What’s more ridiculous is that recently, a “mad dog” named Pompeo issued a statement saying that Xinjiang carried out “genocide” against the Uygurs and other ethnic minorities. This is a maddening and wanton attack to Xinjiang. It’s a sheer nonsense. As a native of Xinjiang, I strongly condemn and resolutely reject it.

In the environment in which we three brothers and sisters grew up, studied, worked and lived, we went to school and played together with our Han, Uygur, Hui and other ethnic buddies, bathing in the kinship warmth among all ethnic groups and growing up together. We have many good brothers and sisters with strong feelings with each other, who have become top students of the big family because of the good policies of the party and the state. At present, their work is very stable and the their families are harmonious. In my work and life, I get along well with my classmates, colleagues, neighbors and friends of all ethnic groups. We help each other and work hard side by side. We have already formed a brotherly tie with each other like family members. The older ones call me “Xiao A”, the elder peers of mine call me “A Bao”, and the younger ones call me “A Ge”(brother). We are completely blended together. We have a lot of contacts with each other at daily life and this brings a lot of warmth to me. The most unforgettable thing for me is the warmth of the big family with ethnic groups.

Since I graduated from university, I have been working for more than four years. During this period, I worked as a member of the village working team sent by the People’s Political Consultative Conference of Xinnjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Looking back on the three-year stay in the village, I can see that the village has changed a lot. There are no more terrorist cases in Xinjiang, the safety of the people’s lives has been guaranteed, the people enjoy the people benefiting policy of the party and the state, and the young villagers go out to work and start their own businesses. The employment of one person in a family can help the whole family out of poverty. So far the goal has been achieved. Now the parents pay attention to their children’s academic performance and the school enrollment rate in the village is increasing. Unprecedented achievements have been made in the economic and social development, improvement of people’s livelihood and protection of human rights in the village. The problem of poverty has been solved historically. This is also a scene of great changes in Xinjiang. In my hometown, there is a good situation of social stability, economic prosperity and people’s living and working in peace and contentment. All of these can not be wiped out by such a rogue and clown as Pompeo.

It can be said that my life experience reflects the process of all ethnic groups living, growing, learning, communicating, working and making progress together. I believe that all kinds of lies and poison spread by Pompeo will be swept into the garbage heap of history together with him. Pompeo will be brought to a just and fair historical trial!
