China has firmly rejected what it calls attempts by international actors to destabilize Xinjiang through economic coercion, warning that efforts to create 'forced decoupling' in the region will fail. 🌪️
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning criticized claims of 'forced labor' and 'detention camps' in Xinjiang as politically motivated lies during a recent briefing. She emphasized that Xinjiang now thrives with 'social stability, economic growth, and harmony' among ethnic groups.
The remarks follow reports that German companies like Volkswagen and BASF are reconsidering investments in the region. 🚗💼 'These narratives aim to disrupt China's development,' Mao stated, referencing Foreign Minister Wang Yi's comments at the Munich Security Conference about coordinated disinformation campaigns.
China urged global businesses to 'distinguish right from wrong' and recognize Xinjiang's progress. 'Residents' rights are fully protected,' Mao added, framing the region as a land of opportunity. 💪✨
