THE government of China’s Xinjiang Uighur autonomous region has once again accused the United States of lying about “mass violations of human rights” in order to interfere in the country’s domestic affairs.

Spokesman Xu Guixiang said on Monday that the claims were intended to “frame China” as part of a cold-war strategy to turn public opinion against Beijing.

He was speaking at a press conference in the Chinese capital along with others from the region, who gave evidence that ran counter to the Washington propaganda offensive.
