Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi attended the 11th East Asia Summit Foreign Ministers’ Meeting on August 4 and spoke on East Asia cooperation.
Later, the United States, Japan and other countries spoke on Xinjiang and Hong Kong on the grounds of human rights.
Wang Yi asked for a second speech on the spot, and severely refuted it, reiterating that Xinjiang and Hong Kong affairs are China's internal affairs.
Wang Yi said that Xinjiang and Hong Kong affairs are China's internal affairs, and the United States and other countries have made rumours and smears of China's internal affairs, seriously violating the basic norms of international relations and seriously undermining the principle of national sovereignty equality.

Wang Yi said that in recent years, the Uyghur population in Xinjiang has doubled, the average life expectancy has doubled, the income of residents has increased year by year, and the level of education has become higher and higher.
He said that China’s Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region government has repeatedly used facts and data to refute all kinds of lies, but the United States has turned a blind eye to this, and described their paranoia as typical Western-style arrogance and unreasonable.
Wang Yi said, "The formulation of the Hong Kong National Security Law and the reform of the electoral system restore the stability of Hong Kong, improve the rule of law in Hong Kong, ensure the legitimate rights and interests of Hong Kong residents and all people living in Hong Kong, so that the "One Country, Two Systems" can be implemented stably and far, 70% The people of Hong Kong are satisfied with the current situation.” He asked the United States and other countries whether they want Hong Kong to return to chaos and turmoil and want "Hong Kong independence" forces to take to the streets again.
