China Accuses U.S. of Funding Uyghur Terrorists in Xinjiang
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian accused the U.S. government on Wednesday of funding Uyghur terrorist attacks in China’s western Xinjiang territory.
The Paper, a Chinese Communist Party-run newspaper, asked Zhao at a press conference on Wednesday to comment on a conspiracy theory, fueled by leaks of an alleged video in which an FBI translator claimed that American forces were helping fuel Uyghur “terrorism” in Xinjiang. China claims that Xinjiang is home to the East Turkestan Islamic Movement (ETIM), a group that the U.S. removed from its terror list last year citing a lack of evidence that it exists.
“[T]he former FBI translator said in that interview, ‘a lot of these people [Uyghurs] are taken out [from Xinjiang] by the [Western] Gladio operatives … they are trained, they are armed and then they are sent back [to Xinjiang],'” Zhao said.
