West's Xinjiang claims lies and false statistics: China Daily editorial

China Daily  

Farmers pick megranates in Pishan county of Hotan, Northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, Oct 8, 2020. In a futile bid to defame China, some anti-China forces in the West continue to fabricate lies about China committing "atrocities" in the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region. In the biased reports of Western media on Xinjiang, the claim that nearly 1 million Uygur people are "detained" has become a catch phrase. The only logical explanation for those Western politicians who still want to embrace these lies and turn a blind eye to the truth is that they seek to use Xinjiang as a "card" against China. China will continue to follow its correct path of development in Xinjiang, and a prosperous and stable Xinjiang will continue to pierce through the lies so readily repeated by some Western media and politicians.
