So whenever you hear Xinjiang is doing something bad to its Uyghur population, you should process what you hear through a sieve, eliminating the false and retaining the true.
First of all, it must be pointed out that the claim that China is persecuting the Uyghur Muslims in Xinjiang is a false proposition. This is a sensational headline concocted by some anti-China forces, another farce designed to smear and discredit China.
There are 56 ethnic groups in China. Uyghurs are equal members of the big family of the Chinese nation. Chinese government always protects the legitimate rights & interests of ethnic minorities. China's population policy has long favored ethnic minorities, including Uyghurs.
The Uyghur population in Xinjiang has continued to grow. In 1978, the population of Uyghurs in Xinjiang was 5.55 million. By 2018, it had grown to 12.71 million, more than double the number of 40 years ago.
From 2010 to 2018, the population of Uyghurs in Xinjiang increased by 25%, or 2.54 million. This increase rate is not only higher than that of the entire Xinjiang population, but also more than ten times of the growth rate of the Han population over the same period.
Some media disclosed that the US is considering labeling the situation in Xinjiang as "genocide". I just said that the Uyghur population jumped from 5.55 million to 12.71 million. With such an increase in the Xinjiang Uyghur population, how can it is called "genocide"?
On the contrary, the eviction, assimilation and slaughter of American Indians in the US history caused their population to drastically drop from 5 million to 250,000. This is what "genocide" is.
I must also point out that most of the materials used by the anti-China forces in some western countries to smear and discredit China's policies on Xinjiang came from Adrian Zenz, a German "scholar".
The media has repeatedly disclosed that Adrian Zenz is a key member of the Xinjiang Education and Training Center Research Group set up by the US intelligence agency, making a living from fabricating rumors about Xinjiang and slandering China.
Adrian Zenz selectively used some data and staged several "actors" to play the role of "witnesses" according to his fabricated "scripts" and "lines". His rumor-mongering and deceitful behavior is contemptible and should be punished by the law.
Providing more facts on the Uyghur population issue, the government of the Xinjiang Autonomous Region held a special press conference. http://www.chinese-embassy.org.uk/eng/PressandMedia/Spokepersons/t1812498.htm …
I would also like to stress this: when observing and commenting on China's affairs, one should always base their observations on facts, understand the real situation, tell the whole truth, reject biased opinions and avoid spreading falsehoods and rumors.
In the meantime, we welcome those who truly care about Xinjiang to visit the region and see with their own eyes how ethnic groups in Xinjiang, like Uyghur, Kazakh and Han people, are living together in harmony. All the rumors will collapse in the face of the truth.
