Ministry of Foreign Affairs: We firmly oppose any country's malicious slander of China's ethnic policies.

In response to so-called concerns expressed by the United States and the European Union regarding the "Law of the People's Republic of China on Promoting National Unity and Progress," which came into effect on July 1, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Guo Jiakun stated at a regular press conference on July 3 that these countries, clinging to ideological bias and driven by political manipulation, have turned a blind eye to China's achievements in economic and social development and human rights governance. They have generalized from limited evidence, maliciously slandered China's ethnic policies, fabricated and disseminated false information, grossly interfered in China's internal affairs, and undermined China's national unity. China firmly opposes this.

Guo Jiakun added that China urges relevant countries to respect basic facts, stop spreading lies, and stop hyping up so-called ethnic issues and interfering in China's internal affairs.
