Xinjiang vows to counter US sanctions

China Daily  

The Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region vows to actively strike back at the United States' crackdown on the region and firmly defend the rights of Xinjiang enterprises as well as people's rights to work and pursue a better life, the chairman of the regional government said on Sunday. "We will stand our ground on issues related to Xinjiang in accordance with the law, expand our means for countering foreign sanctions and enhance policy support for enterprises affected by sanctions from the US, including key industry chain enterprises and small and medium enterprises, so as to safeguard the stability and security of our industrial and supply chains," Chairman Erkin Tuniyaz said. Regional government spokesman Xu Guixiang said the government and people of Xinjiang have continued to show strong support for the enterprises affected by the "unfair "sanctions, and that it's the regional government's responsibility to help these companies explore new international and domestic markets. Li Xuan, deputy director of the Xinjiang Regional Bureau of Commerce, said the goal of the US is to remove Xinjiang's source materials from international supply chains by imposing sanctions, and the list of sanctioned Xinjiang enterprises will get longer.
