China is looting East Turkistan's huge lead and zinc resources

China is plundering huge amounts of lead and zinc resources from the Khosaoyun lead and zinc mine in Hotan, which has the largest reserves in Asia and the sixth largest in the world.
According to the Chinese propaganda agency Diyarotag Network, in August of this year, the mining of Khosaoyun lead and zinc mine in Hotan, which is located in the deep Karakurum Mountains, continued urgently. The mine has more than 21 million tons of lead and zinc reserves, and Chinese companies have mined more than 600,000 tons of lead and zinc resources so far.
In recent years, the Chinese regime has been auctioning the rights to use and develop most of the mines in East Turkistan to Chinese companies, including the prospecting and exploration rights of Khosaoyun lead and zinc mine on January 16, 2023. The mine is an important part of the world-class lead and zinc mining belt and is also the best quality and largest reserves of lead and zinc ore found in East Turkistan.
According to Chinese media reports, in 2011, the Geological Department of China discovered this huge resource, which is claimed to be one of the important mining results in East Turkistan, China.
At the beginning of 2023, Xinguang Group bought the mining rights of Xuzhou Yun lead and zinc mine for 25 billion yuan. The company also invested more than 18 million yuan in geological exploration for the project, and drilled at a depth of nearly 5,700 meters. Including newly discovered reserves, the mine's lead and zinc reserves are more than 21 million tons.
China has been plundering vast amounts of natural resources since its invasion of East Turkistan, and in recent years has been selling exploration and development rights to Chinese companies. The people of East Turkistan, who were the original owners, are deprived of the resources of their land and live in poverty. In the name of "supporting the innocents," China continues to commit forced labor and torture the people of East Turkistan, and continues to commit genocide in East Turkistan.
