據日媒報導,當地時間1月26日,日本外務省負責人表示,日本政府不認為中國在新疆實施了「種族滅絕」。中國外交部發言人趙立堅1月27日表示,所謂新疆「種族滅絕」是不折不扣的偽命題,是個別反華勢力蓄意炮製的謊言,是徹頭徹尾污衊抹黑中國的鬧劇。
A senior official of Japan's foreign ministry said on January 26 that Japan didn't believe China had committed "genocide" in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. "The so-called 'genocide' in Xinjiang is a completely false accusation, a lie concocted by some anti-China forces and a farce staged to smear and defile China," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said on Wednesday.
趙立堅表示:
「我們相信國際上絕大多數國家眼睛是雪亮的,會客觀、公正地看待新疆的發展變化,客觀、公正地評價中國政府採取的穩疆治疆富疆政策。」
We believe the vast majority of countries in the world are sharp-eyed as they have an objective and fair assessment of Xinjiang's development and the Chinese government's policy on making Xinjiang a stable and prosperous place.
