Chinese official criticizes a U.S. bill condemning the mass detention of Uighur Muslims in China
BEIJING - People held in camps in China’s Xinjiang region have now “graduated” and new trainees will have the freedom to come and go, the regional governor said on Monday.
China has repeatedly denied any mistreatment of Uighurs and says the camps provide vocational training. It describes the detainees as students. China has not provided any official figures on how many people have been held in the camps but Zakhir said foreign estimates were “pure fabrication”. He gave no details.
“The U.S. is getting restless and has launched a smear campaign against Xinjiang,” Zakir said. “But no force can stop Xinjiang’s progress toward stability and development.” “Because the number of people participating in these training centers is dynamic, there’s coming and going, so it’s very difficult to give an exact number,” Hua told reporters at a separate briefing.
Hua expressed disappointment at the lack of foreign media coverage of the documentary despite the intense concern over the Xinjiang issue.

Peugeot rescue pays better for China than carsDongfeng has made some $2 bln from its 2014 rescue of Peugeot, which aims to merge with Fiat Chrysler. The state-owned car giant can cash out and euthanise its stalled JV with Peugeot too. Both moves would be financially wise, if strategically embarrassing, for China and France.
