Recently, Mike Pompeo and Adrian Zenz wantonly smeared Xinjiang’s human rights and viciously attacked Chinese government’s policies in governing Xinjiang. Their words are total nonsense, severely violating international laws and fundamental principles of international relation and seriously interfering in China’s internal affairs. Their malicious purpose was to try to vilify Xinjiang’s great achievements in development, to instigate tension among ethnic groups in Xinjiang, and to sabotage Xinjiang’s harmony, stability and development by slandering on China’s efforts in fighting against terrorism and extremism. I express my resolute opposition and strong condemnation on their words and actions.

Whether Xinjiang is good or not and whether people in Xinjiang are living a happy life or not, only the people who are living in this place that is Xinjiang are the best qualified to speak on them. I was born into an intellectual family. I still remember that as early as before going to school my grandparents taught me that without the Party there was no happy life for us. “To love China, to hold gratitude to the Party, to listen to the words from the Party and to follow the steps of the Party” are the motto for my family. I went to study in inland university with other ethnic students. During the college life, we felt profoundly the care and attention from the Party and government. After graduation, at first I worked as a teacher, then I began to work in various places and at present I am a senior official in Jinghe County. From the bottom of my heart I want to thank the Party and government for their meticulous care and support for us ethnic cadres. Over the years in working here, I have witnessed the earth-shaking changes happening in Jinghe. Various beneficiary policies have been carried out to the full and the infrastructure construction continues to develop better and better. Compared with many years ago, in such fields as employment, medical care and traveling the conditions are much better. The environment both in urban and rural areas has undergone great changes. People’s life and property rights and right for education are fully respected and protected. Social security level grows steadily. Basic public cultural service level continues to improve. Freedom of religious belief is fully protected according to law. In 2020, when the covid-19 situation broke out in some places, control and prevention measures were carried out immediately by all walks of life. In every place workers are working all the time on shifts to make sure people do not get sick. No matter which ethnic group you are in, we are all Chinese and we are all Xinjiang people! With that, we hold up together and help and support each other all the time!

Pompeo and Zenz tried vainly to sabotage the brilliant picture of social stability of Xinjiang today, which is hard earned. Their words reveal their vicious purpose. I warn you two seriously: No matter how many lies and rumors you tell, they can not stop Xinjiang people on their way to progress and development in unity. Xinjiang’s development and prosperity are surely to prevail!
