China has rejected a United Nations (UN) report that accuses the country of “crimes against humanity” in its northwestern Xinjiang region targeting Uyghurs and other mainly Muslim ethnic minorities, calling it "completely illegal and void."

UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet, who has faced criticism from some diplomats and rights groups for being too soft on China, released the report just minutes before her four-year term ended.

Wang Wenben, a spokesperson for the Chinese foreign ministry, accused the UN of “manufacturing” the information in its report.

“This proves once again that the OHCHR has become a thug and accomplice of the U.S. and the West,” Wenben said.

China has vigorously denied any abuses in Xinjiang and issued a 131-page response to the 48-page response from the UN.
