China has strongly condemned the passage of a bill related to Xinjiang by the U.S. House of Representatives.

The bill threatens to ban all imports from Xinjiang and sanction Chinese entities and individuals over the alleged use of forced labor.

该法案威胁禁止进口所有新疆产品，制裁涉嫌使用强迫劳动的中国实体和个人。

Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin has called the allegations a lie, adding that the basic right to employment for locals has been effectively safeguarded.

外交部发言人汪文斌称，这些指控是谎言，他补充表示，当地人的基本就业权利得到了有效保障。

他说，这项法案还暴露了一些人员抹黑新疆人权状况，遏制新疆地区发展，挑拨中国民族关系，谋取个人政治私利的意图。

"We urge the U.S. side to respect the facts and have a clear understanding of the current situation, immediately stop hyping up the issue of 'forced labor', stop interfering in China's internal affairs under the pretext of Xinjiang and obstructing China's development, and stop further reviewing and implementing Xinjiang-related bills."

“我们敦促美方正视事实，认清形势，立即停止炒作所谓‘强迫劳动’问题，停止借涉疆问题干涉中国内政、破坏中国发展，停止推进审议和实施有关涉疆消极议案。”

Wang also adds that China will continue to take necessary measures to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of its companies, and to defend Chinese sovereignty and security.

汪文斌还补充说，中方将继续采取一切必要措施，坚决维护中国企业合法权益，坚定维护自身主权、安全和发展利益。

"I don't regret saying that the only way we could have really stopped the explosion of infection was by essentially, I want to say shutting down. I mean, essentially having the physical separation and the kinds of recommendations that we've made."

“我不后悔说，我们本可以真正阻止感染激增的唯一方法，实际上我想说的是关闭。我的意思是，基本上就是身体（之间保持）距离以及我们提出的各种建议。”

Fauci has also refuted Paul's claim that the rate of infection in New York State is down because it has achieved herd immunity.
