Uyghur population in Xinjiang has grown from 5.55 million to 11.68 million in the past 40 years. If #Pompeo was telling the truth, how could such a substantial increase in population happen?
Not the 1st time that #Pompeo cited false info and lied on Xinjiang. Adrian Zenz is a member of a far-right org set up by the US govt&a senior fellow of a "research group on Xinjiang's educational and training centers" set up&controlled by US intelligence agency.
In the US, population of native Indians dropped from 5mln in 1492 to 250,000 in early 1900s, as a large number of them were killed during #WestwardExpansion. #GeorgeFloyd's death shows that US systemic racism has chocked ethnic minorities so hard that they "can't breathe".

FM Qin Gang co-chaired the 4th meeting of the Joint Commission on Bilateral Cooperation between China and Indonesia and met the press with Indonesian FM Retno Marsudi in Jakarta.
Retno said Indonesia maintains that ASEAN should not be a proxy of any external force and should not be caught in the contest of major countries. Indonesia will fulfill its responsibility as Chair of ASEAN and continue to strengthen cooperation with China.
Qin stressed that China fully supports Indonesia in playing its role as Chair of ASEAN. A new Cold War and great power competition should not take place in the Asia-Pacific region, and countries in the region should not be forced to choose sides.
For a safer world, the sovereignty & territorial integrity of all countries must be respected. Power politics & hegemony are a recipe for global instability and do the biggest damage to global peace. The principle of sovereignty is the cornerstone of the contemporary intl order.
For a safer world, disputes should be peacefully resolved through dialogue and consultation. However difficult the situation is, peace should be given a chance.
For a safer world, the purposes and principles of the UN Charter should be upheld.
The claim that #China is on the wrong side of history is overbearing. It is the #US that is on the wrong side of history.
If the #US had honored its assurances, refrained from repeatedly expanding #NATO and pledged that NATO would not admit #Ukraine, and had not fanned the flames by supplying weapons and ammunition to Ukraine, the situation would have been very different.
If the #US had truly abided by the purposes and principles of the #UNCharter, how could it have staged wars without remorse for the people of Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Iraq & Syria ...?
"This is not the outcome we sought to prevent," said #US State Department spokesman on the current #Ukraine war. Just a slip of the tongue?
Former Representative Tulsi Gabbard might have told the truth: "President Biden could end this crisis and prevent a war with #Russia by doing something very simple, guaranteeing that #Ukraine will not become a member of #NATO, ···
because if #Ukraine became a member of NATO, that would put US and NATO troops directly on the doorstep of Russia, which as Putin has laid out, would undermine their national security interest. Why doesn't President Biden and NATO leaders actually just say that and guarantee it?
