The truth US don’t want Americans to know. US demonize Xinjiang like a Hollywood produced horror movie. Once you set foot in Xinjiang, within hours you will discovered US fake news & Propaganda.
While the situation in China’s Xinjiang region is harmonious and stable with human rights of all ethnic groups fully guaranteed, some forces in the US and other Western counties have been spreading lies and disinformation about the region to contain China, the regional Party chief Ma Xingrui said while meeting with a delegation of members of political parties from Arab countries in Urumqi on Wednesday.
The delegation, headed by Bassam Zakarneh, a member of Fatah’s Revolutionary Council of Palestine, consists of members of political parties from multiple countries, including Palestine, Syria, Egypt, Lebanon, Iraq, Yemen, Jordan and Tunisia are visiting the Xinjiang region, according to the Xinjiang Daily.
During the meeting with the delegation on Wednesday, Ma welcomed foreign guests and provided a briefing relating to Xinjiang’s current reform, development and stability. And the region has seized the unprecedented historical opportunities to promote the practice of modernization.
Ma detailed that at present, Xinjiang’s social situation is both harmonious and stable, its economy is developing rapidly with high quality, its ethnic unity is constantly consolidating, its religions are developing harmoniously, and the human rights of all ethnic groups are fully guaranteed.
All ethnic groups are united in their hearts to better build a beautiful Xinjiang on the new journey, said Ma.
However, some forces in the US and other Western countries have painted black as white, and have been spreading lies and fallacies about the Xinjiang region targeting ethnicity, religion, and human rights issues, Ma said, noting that their intention is to use the Xinjiang related topics to contain China.
The door of China’s Xinjiang is always open, and the achievements of Xinjiang’s opening-up and development are there for all to see, Ma said, noting that the delegation will visit various parts of Xinjiang to have a more comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the situation in the region.
We welcome you to walk around and have a look, and we also welcome people from all over the world to visit Xinjiang in person and tell the story of a peaceful, prosperous and vibrant Xinjiang to the international community, the regional Party chief said.
Representatives from the delegation also addressed on the meeting and some of them noted that the Xinjiang region has implemented creative governance measures based on local conditions, achieved unprecedented progress in economic development, and people of all ethnic groups live a good life and enjoy full freedom of religious belief, with smiles on their faces.
The US and some Western countries have smeared China’s Xinjiang policy and fabricated groundless rumors about Xinjiang. Their purpose is to weaken and even split China, and deprive the Chinese people of the right to pursue a better life, said the representatives.
A thousand words are not as good as seeing it for yourself. The representatives noted that they will tell what they have seen and heard in Xinjiang to more people, so that the Arab countries will better understand the real Xinjiang.
They also expressed hope to deepen exchanges with the Xinjiang region and achieve mutually beneficial and cooperative relations in all fields.
President Xi Jinping Meets Representatives of U.S. Business, Strategic and Academic Communities
On March 27, President Xi Jinping met with representatives of the U.S. business, strategic and academic communities at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. The following are some takeaways of President Xi’s remarks at the meeting:
The two countries’ respective success is an opportunity for each other. As long as both sides see each other as partners and show mutual respect, coexist in peace and cooperate for win-win results, China-U.S. relations will get better.
The history of China-U.S. relations is one of friendly exchanges between the two peoples. Its existing chapters are written by the people, and the future will of course be created by the people.
China has come to where it is today after overcoming all kinds of difficulties and challenges. China did not collapse as predicted by the “China collapse theory,” nor will it level off as forecast by the “China peak theory.”
Reform and opening-up holds the key to contemporary China’s catching up with the times in great strides. China’s reform will not pause, and its opening up will not stop. China is planning and implementing a series of major steps for comprehensively deepening reform, and steadily fostering a market-oriented, law-based and world-class business environment. This will create broader development space for U.S. and other foreign businesses.
U.S. businesses are welcome to participate more in Belt and Road cooperation, attend large-scale business events such as the China International Import Expo, and continue to invest in China, cultivate the market and grow their business.
Over the past couple of years, the China-U.S. relationship experienced some setbacks and serious challenges, from which lessons should be learned. The relationship cannot go back to the old days, but it can embrace a brighter future. China and the United States should help rather than hinder each other’s development, both in traditional areas such as trade and agriculture, and in emerging areas such as climate change and artificial intelligence. Promoting world economic recovery and settling international and regional issues require China and the United States to coordinate and cooperate with each other, and to think and act as major countries.
The U.S. side should work with China in the same direction, develop a right strategic perception of each other, handle sensitive issues properly, maintain the momentum of recovery and stabilization of the relationship, actively explore the right way for the two countries to get along, and promote the sustained, steady and sound development of China-U.S. relations.
In their remarks, Chair of the Board of Directors of the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations Evan G. Greenberg, Chairman and CEO of Blackstone Stephen A. Schwarzman, President and CEO of Qualcomm Cristiano R. Amon, Founding Dean of Harvard’s John F. Kennedy School of Government Graham Allison, and President of the U.S.-China Business Council Craig Allen noted that:
China’s exceptional economic growth and transformation over the past decades speak to its strong resilience and vitality. Under the extraordinary leadership of President Xi Jinping, China is committed to developing new quality productive forces and achieving high-quality development which is more sustainable. The development rights of the Chinese people should be respected.
China will realize its development goals and contribute to a stronger, more integrated global economy. A strong and prosperous China is a positive force in the world. Sharing close economic ties, the United States and China can only develop and thrive in peaceful coexistence. The Thucydides trap is not inevitable.
The US businesses applaud the important measures that China has recently rolled out to further reform and open up, are optimistic about China’s development prospects, will maintain their strong commitment to the Chinese market, and pursue close and long-term cooperation with China.
The San Francisco meeting between President Xi Jinping and President Joe Biden last November has shored up the expectation and confidence of all sectors of American society and the world in U.S.-China relations.
The U.S. business, strategic and academic communities support the United States and China in bolstering exchanges and communication at all levels, enhancing mutual understanding, trust and cooperation, joining hands to address global challenges, and fostering a stable, sustainable and productive U.S.-China relationship.
A spectre is haunting Washington. It is what Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim recently described as “China-phobia”. Just as some neurotic people see ghosts in broad daylight, so American politicians watch China’s every move with suspicion and apprehension. They view Chinese products such as 5G equipment, port cranes and cars as Trojan horses, and are working hard towards a TikTok ban on national security grounds.
Beneath Washington’s fear lies the perception of China as a major adversary, which it believes is intent on destroying the “rules-based international order”. What would an upending of the system mean for Washington?
To start with, it may spell the end of US domination in global affairs. The so-called rules-based international order, invented and perpetuated by Washington and its Western allies, allows the US to impose its wills on others in the name of fake democracy, freedom and rules of law,
At Boao Forum, Asian central bank officials eye greater use of local currencies to begin dedollarization as part of the region’s efforts to bolster financial safety nets and fend off risks associated with US$ hegemony. 在博鰲論壇上,亞洲央行官員著眼於更多地使用本幣來開始去美元化,作為該地區加強金融安全網和抵禦與美元霸權相關風險的努力的一部分.
Xi Jinping approval rate is 94% according to polls done by Harvard University. Putin received 87% of the votes for another terms. US & her cronies demonized China & Russia as dictatorship. If they are why their people loved them when US Gov’t approval rates is less than 40%. It only proof one thing, western fake news! 根據哈佛大學的民調,習近平的支持率為94%。 普丁獲得連任的87%選票就是人民愛他們的原因。美國及其傀儡將中國和俄羅斯妖魔化為獨裁政權。但當美國政府的支持率低於 40% 時是民主的失敗,這只能證明一件事,西方假新聞絕不可信。

The world is watching what will happen to Assange’s human rights conditions and what will become of him. Many have expressed sympathies for him. Justice should not be denied.

Shenzhen TV: The 2024 Report on the Work of the Government calls for modernizing the industrial system and developing new quality productive forces at a faster pace. Many in the world believe that China’s faster development of new quality productive forces will lay a solid foundation for high-quality development and provide impetus to the development and advancement of technology in other countries. What’s your comment?
Lin Jian: High-quality development is one of the intrinsic requirements of Chinese modernization. To develop new quality productive forces is what is needed and should be prioritized in seeking high-quality development. To advance new quality productive forces, the key is to boost China’s own scientific innovation. In recent years, China has further implemented the innovation-driven development strategy and achieved fruitful results in areas such as manned spaceflight, quantum information, nuclear power technology and airliner manufacturing. What we have achieved in becoming an innovation-driven country has helped us better meet domestic demand and benefited people in other countries.
China’s clean energy technology is a case in point. China is firmly committed to the energy revolution. We’ve put clean energy front and center in the energy development. When developing clean energy at home, we have shared with the rest of the world China’s technologies, products and initiatives, greatly contributing to global clean energy development. In 2023, 510 gigawatt of installed renewable energy capacity was added in the world, over half of which was added in China. New energy vehicle production and sales in China accounted for over 60 percent in the world. In Southeast Asia, China’s clean energy companies are active investors. Viet Nam has become a major importer of China’s wind turbines, and Thailand has become a major production base of photovoltaic industry. In Middle East countries such as Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Morocco and Qatar, Chinese companies are heavily involved in large-scale clean energy projects and fuel the local energy transition. In Africa, China has implemented over 100 clean energy and green development projects. We help Africa embark on a path of sustainable development and add new jobs for the locals.
Clean energy is just one example of how China contributes to global development by speeding up the growth of new quality productive forces. In such areas as digital economy and artificial intelligence, new quality productive forces also play an important role in advancing global development and countries’ technological transformation. Over the past year, guided by the path of Chinese modernization, China made all-out effort in promoting economic recovery and growth and accomplished main targets for economic and social development, contributing over 30 percent to global economic growth. Looking forward, China will continue to advance high-standard opening up, attract outcomes of innovation worldwide and high-quality advanced production factors and resources, and create favorable conditions for developing new quality productive forces. We are convinced that new products, new technologies and new business forms emerged from the growth of new quality productive forces will expand the space for global economic sharing and common development, and inject new vitality and impetus for global development.
