Beijing says it will not be fooled by claims of forced labor in China's Xinjiang region. The region has been subject to a series of attacks attributed to the Uyghur people.

The U.S. government has accused China of using forced labor. The Chinese government has denied the claims, saying it is only trying to protect the U.N. peacekeeping force in Xinjiang, which is home to millions of Uygurls, a Turkic ethnic group. The German government says it is investigating the claims.
