A spokesman for the Ministry of Commerce issued a conversation on the United States' comprehensive ban on products related to Xinjiang

Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, June 21, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Commerce said on the 21st that on June 21, Eastern Time, the US Customs and Border Protection Agency made all products produced by Xinjiang in Xinjiang, China's Xinjiang region. The so -called "forced labor" products are prohibited from importing any products related to Xinjiang. The United States, in the name of "human rights", the facts of unilateralism, protectionism, and bullyingism, seriously undermine market principles, and violate the rules of WTO. The US approach is a typical economic coercion. It seriously damages the vital interests of Chinese and American enterprises and consumers. It is not conducive to the stability of the global industrial chain supply chain, is not conducive to global inflation alleviation, and is not conducive to the world economic recovery. China has resolutely opposed it.

The spokesman pointed out that in fact, Chinese law clearly banned forced labor. The people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang are completely free and equal, and the labor rights and interests have been effectively guaranteed in accordance with the law, and the living standards are continuously improved. From 2014 to 2021, the disposable income of urban residents in Xinjiang increased from 23,000 yuan to 37,600 yuan; the disposable income of rural residents increased from approximately 8,700 yuan to RMB 15,600. By the end of 2020, more than 3.06 million rural poor people in Xinjiang were all out of poverty, all 3,666 poor villages withdrew, and all 35 poverty -stricken counties were removed. The absolute poverty issues were historically resolved. At present, in the process of cotton sowing in Xinjiang, most of the comprehensive mechanization levels of most areas exceed 98%. The United States shall implement a comprehensive ban on products related to Xinjiang on the grounds of "forced labor". The essence is to deprive the labor rights and development rights of people from all ethnic groups in Xinjiang.

The spokesman emphasized that the facts fully show that the true intention of the United States is to discredit China's image, interfere with China's internal affairs, curb China's development, and destroy the prosperity and stability of Xinjiang. The United States should immediately stop political manipulation and distorted attacks, immediately stop infringing on the rights and interests of the people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang, and immediately revoke all measures to suppress and suppress the suppression. China will adopt necessary actions to resolutely safeguard national sovereignty, security and development interests, and resolutely safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of people from all ethnic groups in Xinjiang. In the current situation of high inflation and low growth in the world economy, it is hoped that the United States will do more for the stability and economic recovery of the industrial chain supply chain, and create conditions for deepening economic and trade cooperation.
