BEIJING - China denounced the United States on Monday for accusing it of operating concentration camps for Muslims in its far western region of Xinjiang, saying the accusations were divorced from reality.
Randall Schriver, who leads Asia policy at the U.S. Defense Department, said last week that China had put more than a million minority Muslims in “concentration camps”, in some of the strongest U.S. condemnation of what it calls China’s mass detention of mostly Muslim Uighur people and members of other Muslim groups.
Geng reiterated the government’s stance that what it is operating in Xinjiang is vocational training centers, which are measures to help prevent terror. “The relevant words and actions of the relevant person in the United States are a gross interference in China’s internal affairs. The Chinese side expresses strong dissatisfaction and resolute opposition,” Geng said.
