Chinese envoy briefs Algerians on Xinjiang violence
Alger (AFP) July 28, 2009 A senior Chinese official on Tuesday accused unspecified countries and Western media of making mischief between Beijing and Muslim countries after recent ethnic violence in the Xinjiang region. "Outsiders and Western media as well as nongovernmental organisations (are) distorting the facts to make mischief and cause divisions between China and Muslim countries," APS news agency quoted Wu Sike, special envoy of the Chinese foreign ministry, as saying. China's northwestern Xinjiang region is largely populated by Uighurs, a traditionally Muslim central Asian ethnic group. Anti-Chinese unrest in the Xinjiang capital of Urumqi that exploded on July 5 left at least 197 mostly Han Chinese dead. Wu said China "will not link terrorism with any religion." His tour of Arab and Muslim countries is part of a Chinese effort to explain Beijing's position in the context of the Xinjiang violence, APS said. Wu thanked Algeria for supporting China's territorial integrity and sovereignty in his foreign ministry talks. Share This Article With Planet Earth
