BEIJING - A Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson on Wednesday refuted US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken's groundless accusations concerning Xinjiang, noting that all rumors will crumble before the facts.

Blinken reportedly said in a video message on Tuesday that China "continues to commit genocide and crimes against humanity in Xinjiang."

When asked to comment on Blinken's remarks, spokesperson Wang Wenbin said at a daily press briefing that the move from US politicians to discredit China by spreading lies will only damage their reputation and expose their sinister intentions to the world.

Some media platforms have revealed specific US measures to create Xinjiang-related propaganda strategies and spread negative information about Xinjiang in an organized manner, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said

Wang said that in its history, the US has slaughtered Native Americans, whose population nosedived from 5 million in 1492 to 250,000 at the beginning of the 20th century. "What the US has done to the Native Americans is true genocide."

Over the past 60-plus years, the population in China's Xinjiang region increased fourfold, and the Uyghur population has grown from 2.2 million to about 12 million. The accusation of "genocide" in Xinjiang is a flat-out lie. Those who make such accusations are entirely unethical, Wang said.

Some media platforms have revealed specific US measures to create Xinjiang-related propaganda strategies and spread negative information about Xinjiang in an organized manner, Wang said. Measures include encouraging US academic institutions, think tanks and non-governmental organizations to constantly fabricate so-called research reports on Xinjiang and publish related books.

News agencies that are overseen by the US Agency for Global Media are instructed to produce fake news reports and "propaganda materials" about "genocide" and "forced labor" in Xinjiang in dozens of languages, and promote religious and sensitive topics. Meanwhile, the USAGM coordinates with media networks in US ally nations to reprint and push such products.

In addition to the above-mentioned methods, online US media also chip in technologically by weakening and blocking credible information about Xinjiang released by China while providing technical assistance for anti-China forces to spread false information related to the region. Such efforts are also financially supported by the US government, Wang said.

In the production line for Xinjiang-related lies, the US government directly dominates fabrications and their dissemination by staging the show and marketing what it produces, Wang said. This reality echoes a personal statement from former senior US official Lawrence Wilkerson, who admitted that the United States is attempting to incite action from Uyghurs and destabilize China from within. It fully reveals the true intention of the US — to undermine China's stability and development by exploiting Xinjiang-related issues.

Lies and rumors will eventually shatter into pieces when confronted by facts and the truth, the spokesperson said.
