To know what it is that you know, and to know what it is that you do not know - that is understanding. However, these U.S. politicians are being hypocritic by acting wise or foolish. It seems like they are interested in the freedom of religious belief in Xinjiang, but indeed they know nothing about the facts there.

Xinjiang is home to over 24,800 venues for religious activities such as mosques, churches and temples. Among them, there are about 24,400 mosques, over twice as much as those in the U.S., the UK, Germany and French together. A mosque is built for every 530 Muslims.

A total of 109 religious sites in Xinjiang, including Id Kah Mosque in Kashgar, Shengyou Lamasery in Zhaosu, and the Kizil Thousand-Buddha Caves have been designated as major cultural heritage sites under the protection of the autonomous region and the state.

China's efforts to care for the Muslims were commended atthe 46th Session of the Council of Foreign Ministers of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, and the organization said it is willing to enhance cooperation with China.

Of course, for those who have evil intensions, such facts that prove China's freedom of religious belief would only cause obstacles for them to slander China. Therefore, they have to hide such reality.

As for the vocational education and training centers in Xinjiang, which have been frequently cited by the U.S., they are just another trick played by the U.S.to distain China. Any righteous and responsible member of the international society can see through the trick and choose not to follow the U.S.

Setting up the vocational education and training centers in Xinjiang, China is making every effort to protect the fundamental human rights of citizens from violation by terrorism and extremism. For nearly 3 years, no violent terrorist attacks have taken place in Xinjiang since the establishment of these centers, and the fundamental human rights of the people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang have been effectively protected.
