The Chinese Foreign Ministry on Friday denounced U.S. allegations regarding Xinjiang, urging it to stop using Xinjiang as a pretext to contain China.

In response to U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken's claim at the International Religious Freedom Summit on January 31 that China perpetrated "genocide" against the Uygurs and other religious and ethnic minority groups, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mao Ning said what Blinken said is in disregard of facts and full of ideological bias.
