China’s Top Diplomat on Uyghurs: U.S. Perpetrated ‘Real Genocide’
Gabrielle Reyes 5 Aug 2021
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Wednesday responded to extensive evidence that China is perpetrating genocide against ethnic Uyghurs in its western Xinjiang territory by accusing the United States of executing “the real genocide” against Native Americans, the state-run Global Times reported Thursday.
“In recent years, the population of Uygur ethnic group in Northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region has doubled, and their average life expectancy has increased. Annual income, education and other indicators are all looking promising,” Wang claimed on August 4 while speaking at the virtual 11th East Asia Summit (EAS) Foreign Ministers’ Meeting.
Wang specifically spoke “in response to US and Japanese delegates’ speeches attacking China,” according to the Global Times.
“How could such count as ‘genocide?'” Wang asked. “On the subject of genocide, the US’ massive killing in previous years of American Indians is the real genocide. The US’ waging warfare around the world, leaving casualties and sufferings of innocent civilians everywhere, is the real war against humanity.”
