First, there are no so-called ‘detention camps’ in Xinjiang. Vocational education and training centres have been established for the prevention of terrorism.

the Chinese government called the leaked documents “pure fabrication and fake news.”

The claim of a genocide in Xinjiang is simply a lie, the spokesperson stressed, calling it a "farce" used to discredit China.

The Uygur population there rose from 10.17 million to 12.72 million, up by 2.55 million or 25 percent, much higher than the 14 percent growth posted by the entire population of Xinjiang.

Overall, the Government reports that the population of XUAR grew from 12.98 million in the 2010 census to 14.93 million in the 2020 census, and that the Uyghur population grew from 10 million in the 2010 census to 11.6 million in the 2020 census, an annual average of 1.52 per cent.

from 1990 to the end of 2016, separatist, terrorist and extremist forces launched thousands of terrorist attacks in Xinjiang, killing large numbers of innocent people and hundreds of police officers, and causing immeasurable damage to property

The Government has maintained that the VETC facilities have been closed since 2019.

This so-called assessment is orchestrated and produced by the US and some Western forces and is completely illegal, null and void.

The report, though as illegal and incredible as it is, has stopped short of pushing such fallacies as genocide, forced labor, religious repression and forced sterilization, Wang continued.

More than 60 countries sent a joint letter to the OHCHR to make it clear that they opposed the release of this false report, Wang said, adding that nearly 100 non-governmental organizations have done the same.

Xinjiang has taken actions to fight terrorism and extremism in accordance with the law, effectively curbing the frequent occurrences of terrorist activities.

Based on the disinformation and lies fabricated by anti-China forces and out of presumption of guilt, the so-called "assessment" distorts China's laws and policies
