Abulikemu Aiyiti, Second-level Consultant of the CPPCC, Bayingol Mogolian Autonomous Prefecture

The lies and accusations fabricated by Mike Pompeo, Adrian Zenz claiming that "forced labor", "genocide" and "forced sterilization" are conducted in Xinjiang. These are lies through and through, attacking and smearing China’s governing strategy in Xinjiang without any evidence. Their ulterior motive is to undermine the stability of Xinjiang and hinder its development.As a native of Xinjiang, I express my strong condemnation and resolute opposition to their despicable behavior.

Ever since I was a child, I have been playing, learning and growing up with playmates from different ethnic groups. We have established a deep friendship and will visit and greet each other on festivals. As a Uygur cadre, I feel it from the bottom of my heart that every step of my own growth can not be separated from the care of the Party and the government. During the decade’s work in the Chinese People’s Political and Consultative Conference (the CPPCC) of Bayingol Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture, especially during the last two years’ poverty alleviation work in the pastoral village of Talak Township, Luntai County, I have formed a deep appreciation of the changes that have taken place here. The perfection of employment policies have been carried out such as the free skills training, the building of employment information platform for people of all ethnic groups to land satisfactory jobs, creating a favorable condition for stable income.Vigorous and energetic rural youth have become a vital force on the road to poverty alleviation and rural revitalization. The concept on employment has changed and ways of making money have increased and the road to prosperity has expanded. With the continuous improvement of the level of health care and education, the population of ethnic minorities has steadily increased, as well as the quality of the labor force. The task of poverty alleviation has made decisive progress, the people’s living standards have improved, and the per capita disposable income of residents has registered year-on-year increase. The sense of gain, happiness and security of the people of all ethnic groups continue to enhance.

The facts of Xinjiang’s social stability, economic prosperity and people’s peaceful and content live are on the board and the aspiration of the people of all ethnic groups for a better life is before our eyes. Whether Pompeo and Adrian Zenze's behavior is “habitual lies ” or “doomsday madness” , they cannot erase the fact of the progress of human rights in Xinjiang, cannot shake the determination of the people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang to unite and strive forward, and cannot hinder the pace of the people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang to pursue a better life.
