"It's not like some have been saying, that there are several million people in the centres," he said.Mr Zakir's reply to Sky News was the first time a senior Xinjiang official has answered a question from a Western news organisation.
The news conference, at the Great Hall of the People next to Tiananmen Square in Beijing, was tightly controlled.Mr Zakir appeared to refer to a script for much of his 15-minute reply.The region, in the far west of the country, is home to the Uighur people, a Muslim minority, who make up 45% of the population.
The UN previously said it had"credible reports" that around a million Muslim prisoners had been detained in the centres. Last year, Amnesty International spoke of an"intensifying government campaign of mass internment, intrusive surveillance, political indoctrination and forced cultural assimilation against the region's Uighurs, Kazakhs and other predominantly Muslim ethnic groups".

Those slanty eyed bastards I can’t get a read on them to know if they are telling the truth so I assume they’re lying.
Xi is a liar.
🙄
Nations that want to be respected by the International Community let trusted people from various nations visit in your nation and facilities. What do you have to hide?
Like they deny what they do to Falun Gong supporters.
I wouldn't be surprised
They are correction camps..... with a concentration of undesirable people in their eyes...
Every communist must be erradicated from this planet
Well obviously they’re telling the truth
Think the Nazi denied it too?

Xinjiang camps will 'gradually' disappear: ChinaBeijing officials say people are attending 'vocational education centres' to rid them of any extremist thoughts in a region that was hit by deadly riots and attacks in recent years. Every country needs one Why is that a warning? Sounds like China is trying to help these people be accepted into Chinese culture and society. While preserving China culture. Not the Muslim culture. They could eject them out of the country though.

China builds a second 'artificial sun' to find limitless green energyThe cutting-edge device is expected to hit temperatures above 100 million degrees Celsius, or more than six times hotter than the core of our closest star, according to a project leader. Twilight Zone do-do-do-do...🎼🎼🎶🎶 Terrible 'dumbing down' in this article to suit what the DM think its stupid readers are capable of understanding! It's not an artificial sun, it's a fusion reactor, which takes about 100 times more energy input for each unit of energy output, i.e. it's extremely inefficient. The Chinese really know how to take the innovation of other countries a step forward and into practicle use. If only they could amicably resolve the Uighurs issue then it would be the most advance country in the world.

China warns US of 'all necessary measures' to protect HuaweiForeign minister suggests recent actions against Chinese firms are ‘deliberate political suppression’ translation: 'China warns US not to mess with their secret spy agency' Considering how much China is defending Huawei... kinda feels it's actually a weapon. It wouldn't surprise me if they'd declare Apple to be a danger to China's national security and instate a boycott. That's about the same magnitude.
