China rebuked on Monday CNN's latest report on the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region as being based on inaccuracies, and it asked Western media to honor their reputation and stop citing false sources in their reports.

"Accuracy is the lifeblood of news reporting," Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said at a regular news conference in Beijing.

In the CNN piece on Monday, a Uygur woman, Mihrigul Tursun, claimed that one of her sons died in a hospital in Urumqi, Xinjiang, in 2015, and she claimed she had been detained by local officials for three months in that year.
