BEIJING: Chinese President Xi Jinping visited Xinjiang this week, making his first trip in eight years to the once-restive northwestern frontier region.

The United States bans cotton imports from Xinjiang over concerns about the use of forced labour. China has repeatedly denied any mistreatment of Uyghurs. Xi urged Xinjiang officials to listen to the people so as to win their hearts and keep them united. He also stressed that security measures aimed at maintaining social stability should become regular.

Xinjiang had been the scene of sporadic anti-government and anti-Han Chinese violence before a incident that the United Nations said in 2018 had put 1 million Uyghurs into"massive internment camps" set up for political indoctrination.
