Beijing slams Washington as having double standards on Xinjiang issue
BEIJING : China slammed the United States on Tuesday over the latter's poor human rights conditions for Muslims, and said Washington is telling lies about China's policies in the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region.
"Some people in the US have shown unusual care for the Uygur ethnic group in China's Xinjiang, but they seem to forget that the US is the only country in the world that has issued a 'Muslim ban' that targeted Muslim groups," said Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying. Citing a survey by the Pew Research Center issued in July 2017, the spokeswoman said that 75% of US Muslim adults said there is a lot of discrimination against Muslims in the US, and that 69% of people in the US in general share the view.
The spokeswoman also cited a report issued in April 2018 by the Council on American-Islamic Relations, a US-based organisation, saying,"More than a third of anti-Muslim incidents in 2017 were instigated by federal government agencies".
