’China will not flinch’ Beijing rebukes US’ so-called report on Xinjiang, announces countermeasures

Q: The US issued an annual human rights report related to Xinjiang and sanctioned China’s two officials and three companies. China said it will take resolute countermeasures. What are these specific measures? Mao Ning: By issuing the report, the US once again spread false stories on Xinjiang and illegally sanctioned Chinese officials and companies citing so-called human rights issues. This move constitutes grave interference in China’s internal affairs and violates the international law and the basic norms of international relations. The move is designed to vilify China and harmful to the lawful rights and interests of relevant Chinese officials and companies. We firmly oppose and strongly condemn the move and have made serious démarches to the US over this.  In accordance with China’s Anti-Foreign Sanctions Law, we will take countermeasures against American intelligence data company Kharon. This company has long collected Xinjiang-related sensitive information and provided so-called evidence for America’s illegal sanctions related to Xinjiang, Edmund Xu, director of investigations of Kharon, and Nicole Morgret, former researcher of the Center for Advanced Defense Studies. The two persons will be prohibited from entering China (including China’s mainland, the Hong Kong SAR and the Macau SAR). China will freeze the property of Kharon and the two persons in China, including their movable and immovable property, and prohibit organizations and individuals in China from transactions and cooperation with them. We again urge the US to stop smearing China, cancel the illegal unilateral sanctions on Chinese officials and companies, and stop implementing wrongful acts such as the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act. If the US refuses to change course, China will not flinch and will respond in kind. __________________ ShanghaiEye focuses on producing top-quality contents. Nobody knows SHANGHAI better than us.
