US cannot shame anti-extremism efforts in Xinjiang

Certain Western countries represented by the United States have concocted a human rights issue in Xinjiang by disregarding the truth and employing the media and what they call "experts" to distort the reality in the region. Some of them have even tried to sow discord between Islamic states and China, albeit to no avail.

Peace and stability are the common aspirations of people worldwide, as well as the starting point for a good life. Establishing peace and stability worldwide requires the concerted efforts of all countries and peoples. Terrorism and extremism, in any form and to any end, should be firmly opposed. The fight against them should not be turned into a political tool with which to attack another country.

However, it seems that the US cannot quit the habit of using terrorists and extremists to pursue its political agenda. In this sense, what it does in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region is no different from its interference in the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region. The alleged support for freedom and human rights only masks its desire to create chaos in China and thus hamper China's peaceful rise.
