The NPC deputy, also head of the general office of the Xinjiang regional people's congress standing committee, said that the "East Turkistan" terrorist forces have since the 1990s schemed and organized a series of explosions, assassinations, arsons, poisoning and other terrorist activities in China's Xinjiang and other countries, "seriously threatening not only the lives and property of the Chinese people and social stability but also the safety and stability of other related countries."

"We shall resolutely safeguard national unity and stability in minorities areas while doing everything to protect the normal religious activities of minorities," the official said.
