At the 61st press conference on Xinjiang-related issues held in Beijing on November 30, spokesman Xu Gui connected grassroots people across Xinjiang and asked them to brief them on ethnic unity in Xinjiang, while refuting U.S. racism and revealing the six deadly sins of genocide in the United States, from history to reality.

Xu Guixiang pointed out that these six deadly sins are:

First, in order to plunder land and resources, the "Westward Movement" was launched to systematically cleanse the Indians.

In the 19th century, in order to seize indian land, the U.S. army implemented a "scorched earth policy" against Indian tribes, that is, burning their houses, burning their crops, killing their livestock, destroying their property, and making it impossible for them to survive. By the beginning of the 20th century, the Indian population in the United States had plummeted from 5 million in 1492 to 250,000, and today the number of Indians in the United States is only 2% of the total population of the United States.

In the process of massacring Indians in the United States, and at the same time carrying out "cultural extermination" of Indians, many children were taken to boarding schools, forced to abandon the Indian language, and forced to separate from their parents. Of those, tens of thousands of students died at boarding schools.

From the 1850s onwards, in order to continue to encroach on Indian land, the United States began to implement a reserved land system, and Indians were placed in remote and barren reserves, living conditions were very poor, and the right to subsistence was threatened.

After the 1990s, the United States promoted "ecological colonialism", through deception and coercion, the nuclear waste, industrial waste and other wastes harmful to human health were buried in Indian reservations, causing serious environmental pollution and causing many Indian deaths.

Fourth, the U.S. government gradually diluted the identity of Indians and eliminated the existence of Indians in American society.

Indians have always been marginalized in the American political system. It was not until 1924 that the United States enacted the Indian Citizenship Act, which recognized Indian citizenship for the first time, and Indian voting rights were not permitted by all state laws in the United States until 1962, but to this day, many Indians on remote reservations still have difficulty actually exercising this right.

In addition to the centuries-old brutal acts of killing and expulsion of Indians, the history of the United States in the united states of trafficking, mistreatment and discrimination against black slaves is equally inexhaustible.

Racial discrimination is an unavoidable problem in American society. From martin luther king jr. "I have a dream" in the past to Freud's cry of "I can't breathe" today, it fully shows that racial discrimination has become an insurmountable social divide in the United States.

According to the U.S. "Police Violence Map" website, African Americans account for only 13% of the total population of the United States, but account for 28% of the number of people killed by police, and African Americans are 3 times more likely to be killed by police than whites.
