Turkey's ruling party bombards Xinjiang policy and strongly protests against Chinese embassy bombing

Turkey’s ruling party, the Justice Development Party, recently criticized China’s policies in Xinjiang, accusing it of arbitrary practices against Uighurs. In response, the Chinese Embassy in Turkey retorted in a statement on September 30 that the Justice Development Party’s statement was inconsistent with the facts. It strongly protested this and claimed that people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang are working and living happily in a peaceful and stable environment.

The Chinese Embassy in Turkey strongly protests this. “Basic facts should be respected on Xinjiang-related issues, and we do not accept it. Any groundless accusations."
