2015年CRI 泰国遣返一百名多维族偷渡者

（单词翻译）

China has said that Thailand's repatriation¹ of over 100 Uygurs to China is normal cooperation between countries as well as an international obligation.

Foreign Ministry² spokesperson Hua Chunying says the repatriated³ Chinese minority citizens are illegal immigrants who have traveled to and stayed in Thailand through various channels.

Her comments come in response to questions regarding Thailand's repatriation of Uygurs on Wednesday, which sparked protests from countries including the United States and Turkey.

Hua says foreign governments and forces have ignored the facts and incorrectly labelled these illegal immigrants as 'refugees'.

"We found that some foreign governments and forces ignored the fact and called these illegal stowaways⁴ 'refugees' groundlessly. They condemned⁵ unscrupulously China's and Thailand's normal law enforcement and cooperation on cracking down illegal migration⁶, and even politicized the issue. It's connivance⁷ on illegal migration and smuggling⁸, and violates relevant international convention and laws. It goes against the common efforts of the international society on cracking down illegal migration. We cannot accept that."

Hua also added that illegal immigration using counterfeit⁹ passports violates law and disrupts the international order of exit and entry.

She has also condemned recent violence against Chinese and Thai citizens and organizations in Turkey following Thailand's repatriation of the Uygurs.

She urges Turkey to take effective measures to protect the security and legitimate¹⁰ rights of embassies and personnel of China and other related countries.
