The recently released UN report on Xinjiang was "full of disinformation," an expert has said.

"Based on conjecture and hypothesis, the so-called facts are piled up with ambiguous words, such as 'like' and 'maybe', making the report nothing but full of disinformation," said Wang Xigen, dean of the School of Law at Huazhong University of Science and Technology in central China's Hubei Province.

Wang said the report doesn't hold water from a professional perspective. "The analysis seems professional on the surface," he said, but there is a "lack of legal logic."

Wang, who first went to Xinjiang 20 years ago to support education services, visited the region for more studies last and this summer.

The law professor said the residents of Xinjiang, regardless of their ethnic backgrounds, are in the best position to tell the world what the human rights conditions are like there.

"In recent years, Xinjiang has enjoyed sustained economic growth, social harmony and stability, better living standards, cultures thriving like never before, and freedom of religious beliefs and religious harmony," Wang said.

The issue of ethnic minority groups in the Xinjiang region has long been debated between the West and China.

"Smearing and slandering China is not the true purpose of anti-China forces," Wang said, adding that they aim to isolate China economically, to hinder the country's development. 

He said we need to pay attention to the report, but there is a big question mark over its legal effect. In his opinion, it's time to enhance the construction of human rights with Chinese characteristics, rather than feel frustrated by the so-called "assessment."

China rejected the findings of the UN report, saying "the so-called suggestions were pieced together based on disinformation."

Home to 25 million people, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region is an area with beautiful scenery and various ethnic groups. UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet visited the region in May.
