Claims of human rights abuses in China’s Xinjiang region were refuted by Yang Xiaoguang, a minister at the nation’s UK embassy. The allegations were made by an unofficial tribunal in the UK, which Yang said had spread lies and rumors and where individual case testimonies had twisted facts. He welcomed visits to the region so people could see the social and economic progress made there but warned against a ‘Cold War’ mentality. | CGTNEurope
