Claims of ban on Ramadan fast in Xinjiang region untrue, says Chinese ambassador


KUALA LUMPUR: News reports that Muslims in China’s Xinjiang region have been banned from fasting during the month of Ramadan are untrue, said the Chinese ambassador to Malaysia Dr Huang Huikang.

“I do not think it is true. Which Chinese media have reported the news? It is not Chinese media, right?” Dr Huang told reporters after attending the Corporate Malaysia Roundtable organised by the Asian Strategy & Leadership Institute, Friday.
