1. Press briefing in progress
2. SOUNDBITE (Chinese) Zhao Lijian, spokesman, Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs:
"Xinjiang-related issues are not about human rights, ethnicity or religion, but about combating violent terrorism and separatism. The documentary on anti-terrorism fight in Xinjiang shines a light on the necessity of fighting terrorism and deradicalization in Xinjiang and China's enormous efforts on this front with specific cases and plain facts. The anti-terrorism and deradicalization efforts by the government of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region are lawful and legitimate, which have effectively reined in the trend of frequent and growing terrorist activities. Xinjiang hasn't seen a single violent, terrorist incident over the past three years. People's right to life, health and development and other basic rights have been effectively safeguarded. Chinese government's Xinjiang policy has been widely commended by the international community."

4. SOUNDBITE (Chinese) Zhao Lijian, spokesman, Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs:
"However, U.S. relevant Act ignores facts and maliciously attacks the Chinese government's Xinjiang policy and Xinjiang human rights situation in an attempt to stigmatize Xinjiang's measures to fight terrorism, separatism and radicalism, which is outright double standards on the issue of anti-terrorism. China firmly opposes that."

6. SOUNDBITE (Chinese) Zhao Lijian, spokesman, Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs:
"Xinjiang is part of the Chinese territory. Xinjiang affairs are purely China's internal affairs. We are resolute in safeguarding China's sovereignty, security and development interests, as well as upholding Xinjiang's development, stability and ethnic solidarity. The US plot to interfere in China's internal affairs, smear China and contain its development under the pretext of Xinjiang-related issues is doomed to fail."

The US plot to interfere in China's internal affairs, smear China and contain its development under the pretext of Xinjiang-related issues is doomed to fail, said Zhao Lijian, spokesman of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Beijing on Friday.
The China Global Television Network (CGTN) Friday aired an English documentary on the anti-terrorism fight in China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region titled Tianshan Still Standing: Memories of Fighting Terrorism in Xinjiang. On Wednesday, the US leader signed into law the "Uyghur Human Rights Policy Act".
Zhao said that the documentary was released at this particular time because Xinjiang-related issues are not about human rights, ethnicity or religion, but about combating violent terrorism and separatism.
