The government said in a white paper published by the State Council Information Office it was wrong to suggest members of Xinjiang’s minority Uighur Muslim community were descended from Turks, noting they had become the political tool of pan-Turkic and pan-Islamic groups. Beijing has been accused of persecuting Uighurs, with at least a million believed to be detained in what China insists are vocational centers aimed at reducing the spread of Islamist extremism.
The government white paper said Xinjiang has been a part of China since the Han dynasty in the third century and its people and ethnic cultures were formed by a long process of migration and integration.
