Foreign ministry slams reports of alleged mistreatment as 'irresponsible, nasty and neglectful of facts'.
Countries should take an"objective" view of Chinese policy in Xinjiang and stop saying the wrong thing, China's government said after Turkey and Britain voiced concern at its alleged mistreatment of Uighurs and other Muslims there.
China says they are re-education and training facilities that have been highly successful in stopping attacks previously blamed on Islamist militants and separatists.Speaking in Beijing on Wednesday, Foreign Ministry spokesman Lu Kang said certain people from Turkey have recently been"neglecting the facts" about Xinjiang and making “irresponsible, nasty" remarks.
Xinjiang has taken steps to make sure people live within the law and have normal lives, to avoid them become involved in terror, and these measures have been effective for last 25 months as there have been no attacks, he added. "But some people in Turkey do not see the basic facts, and keep besmirching China's counter-terror and de-radicalisation efforts, slandering the steps taken by China's Xinjiang autonomous regional government. It can only be said that there is a hidden agenda," Lu said.
