The Chinese Foreign Ministry has firmly responded to recent allegations regarding attempts to create \"forced decoupling\" in Xinjiang. Spokesperson Mao Ning emphasized that efforts to induce forced unemployment and push the region back into poverty under the guise of human rights concerns will not succeed.
During a recent news briefing, Mao addressed queries about reports suggesting that some German companies, including Volkswagen and BASF, are considering divesting their interests in Xinjiang due to fears of \"forced labor\" and \"detention camps.\"
Mao referenced statements made by Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi at the Munich Security Conference, where he highlighted that certain political forces are spreading misinformation about Xinjiang. According to Wang, these false claims aim to disrupt China's development and revitalization efforts.
Contrary to the allegations, Xinjiang is currently experiencing social stability, economic growth, ethnic unity, and religious harmony. Mao assured that the rights and interests of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang are effectively protected.
He concluded by urging relevant companies to base their decisions on facts, distinguish right from wrong, and take advantage of the opportunities for investment and development in Xinjiang.
