BEIJING - China's State Council Information Office on Sunday issued a white paper on historical matters concerning the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region in north-west China.
However, in more recent times, hostile forces in and outside China, especially separatists, religious extremists and terrorists, have tried to split China and break it apart by distorting history and facts, the document, titled Historical Matters Concerning Xinjiang, said. The paper said different cultures and religions coexist in Xinjiang and ethnic cultures had been fostered and developed in the embrace of the Chinese civilisation.
But the surge in religious extremism around the world has caused a rise in religious extremism in Xinjiang and has resulted in an increasing number of incidents of terror and violence, it noted.
