May 12 (EIRNS)—China very appropriately has labeled as \u00abweasel policy\u00bb U.S. policy toward Xinjiang. Today at the United Nations, the permanent missions of the U.S., the U.K, Germany and an array of NGOs are holding an event on Xinjiang and \u00abthe repression of Uighur Muslims.\u00bb The spokesman for China\u2019s UN mission issued a hard-hitting statement<\/a><\/strong> in response to this insult, while the semi-official Global Times<\/em> titled its article on the subject: \u00abU.S. `weasel diplomacy\u2019 will not function in Xinjiang.\u00bb During the May 10 Foreign Ministry briefing, spokeswoman Hua Chunying also asserted that U.S. behavior on Xinjiang was \u00abjust like the weasel paying respect to the hen, without the best of intentions.\u00bb Global Times<\/em> quotes professor Li Haidong, from the Institute of International Relations at the China Foreign Affairs University, who warned that the purpose of this \u201cweasel diplomacy\u201d is to turn Xinjiang into another Afghanistan. The proverb quoted by Hua, he said, is that a weasel may put on a friendly face, but will always find the opportunity to catch the hen and eat it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Global Times<\/em> adds that this weasel diplomacy has brought war to many countries, pointing to how the U.S. \u00abruthlessly and barbarically inflamed turmoil in Afghanistan for its own interests,\u00bb yet now pretends to care about Xinjiang’s Muslims. It won’t work in Xinjiang, GT<\/em> admonishes, because Xinjiang \u00abis neither Ukraine nor Afghanistan–China has strong national power, rich resources and powerful strategies.\u00bb Li pointedly warns, \u00abIf the U.S. tends to believe it could stir up internal chaos in China, it must have overestimated its own strength and underestimated China\u2019s ability to resist external pressures.\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chinese UN mission’s statement points to the \u00absheer lies and political bias\u00bb of today’s UN event, and particularly attacks the fact that in the middle of a global pandemic, and when nations should be acting in solidarity to face the challenge of defeating the pandemic, the co-sponsors of this event are obsessed with undermining the unity and collaboration of Member States–violating the purposes and principles of the UN Charter. The spokesman slams the U.S.\u2019s sanctimonious claims of defending Uighur Muslims, when its perpetual wars have slaughtered Muslims in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria–killing civilians and displacing tens of millions. The U.S. doesn\u2019t care about the deaths of almost one million Muslims in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria but is \u00abvery keen\u00bb on Uighur Muslims in China, he says. Today’s event, he intones, is \u00aboutright political farce.\u00bb The full Global Times<\/em> article is here<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
