Britain is trying to discredit China's policy in the northwestern Xinjiang region, a spokesperson at China's embassy in London said.

British Foreign Secretary David Lammy on Thursday expressed strong disagreement over the repatriation of 40 Uyghurs to China from Thailand.

The remarks are "hype by the UK side". They disregard facts and are "nothing but despicable political manipulation".
