China called the "genocide in Xinjiang", fabricated in a new United States report, a "preposterous lie", saying on Wednesday that its conspiracy to disrupt China from the inside will not work.
Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said that the allegations against the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region made in the US State Department's 2020 human rights report were false, insulted the Chinese people and trampled on international law and basic norms governing international relations.
