Beijing is emphasizing again that Xinjiang is an inseparable part of Chinese territory. This comes as the Chinese government releases a white paper regarding the region's historical development. It also dispels what it calls misleading facts regarding Xinjiang that have been used by separatists to justify their activities. Earlier, CGTN spoke to Yan Shuai, an analyst from the Center for Counter-Terrorism Studies at the China Institute of Contemporary International Relations. He says that counter-terrorism efforts in Xinjiang have contributed to the wider security of the international community.
