Rumor: Xinjiang suppresses the religious beliefs of local Muslims.
Fact:
In fact, in recent years, the conditions of religious sites have been greatly improved. The New Akeya Mosque, where I have been serving, was built in 1998 and villagers from all around come here to do religious service. Now the mosque has air conditioning when it s hot and has heating when it s cold. It also has a flushing toilet and a bathroom for religious cleaning. The conditions are very good, said Maimaitiyiming Maimaitirouzi, hajib of the New Akeya Mosque of Kezile agen village, Bayinkuluti township, Wuqia county, Kizilsu Kirgiz autono
Some anti-China forces in the West, including the United States, have concocted and disseminated plenty of false information about China s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.
Xinjiang-related issues are not about human rights, ethnicity or religion at all, but about combating violent terrorism and separatism. The Chinese government has launched anti-terrorism and de-radicalization efforts in Xinjiang in accordance with the law to protect people s lives, which has garnered ardent support of people from all ethnic groups.
People in the region continue to embrace peace and prosperity and Xinjiang society continues to develop steadily. These facts are the most powerful tool to debunk lies on Xinjiang.
