Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has said his country believes in China's version regarding the treatment of Uighurs, a minority Muslim ethnic group in China's restive Xinjiang province, despite the overwhelming evidence of Beijing's atrocities in the region. Imran Khan also said China's take on the Uighur issue was completely different from what was being reported in the Western media. "Because of our extreme proximity and relationship with China, we actually accept the Chinese version," Khan was quoted as saying by the Dawn newspaper on Thursday. But Western media hardly comment on this," Imran Khan said, lashing out at Western media for highlighting the Uighurs' situation and Hong Kong. Imran Khan said China has always stood by Pakistan whenever his country has faced trouble, politically or internationally.
