US bill on Xinjiang sabotages fight against terrorism and extremism

CHINA DAILY | Updated: 2019-12-05 00:00

The so-called Uyghur Act of 2019 passed by the United States House of Representatives on Tuesday is not just a vicious misrepresentation of China's legitimate fight against extremism, it is gross interference in its domestic affairs, and a naked attempt to disrupt China's national rejuvenation.

Passed with a 407 to 1 vote, the Act links the China-US relationship to the alleged "mass internment" of Uygurs in the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, and seeks to punish Chinese institutions and officials the US assumes responsible.

As the Chinese Foreign Ministry said when expressing China's strong indignation and resolute opposition to the move, the bill is intended as a "malicious assault on the Chinese government's governance of Xinjiang", and is the latest manifestation of the attempts by the US to interfere in China's internal affairs, as it seeks to put "maximum pressure" on the country, which it regards as a threat to the hegemonic privileges it has become accustomed to.
