As allegations of human rights violations in Xinjiang mount, with a growing number of Western lawmakers accusing China of genocide, Beijing is focusing on discrediting female Uighur witnesses behind recent reports of abuse

“To rebuke some media’s disgusting acts, we have taken a series of measures,” Xu Guixiang, the deputy head of Xinjiang’s publicity department, told a December news conference that was part of China’s pushback campaign. It includes hours-long briefings, with footage of Xinjiang residents and family members reading monologues.

“The fact that there are so many women in the camps ... who don’t have the faintest appearance of being violent people, this just shows how this has nothing to do with terrorism.” The Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Monday. The government denies accusations of abuse at the “vocational training centres” in the remote western region, and says claims of systematic sexual abuse are unfounded.

In January, the Twitter account of China’s U.S. embassy was suspended for a tweet that said Uighur women had been “baby-making machines” before Beijing instituted its system of camps. Xinjiang officials in January said a woman who had spoken to foreign media had syphilis, and they showed images of medical records - unsolicited information that was not directly related to her account.

Re-education camp with a million people and there are crimes; go on. In July 2009, riots broke out in Xinjiang in response to a violent dispute between Uyghur and Han Chinese workers in a factory which resulted in over one hundred deaths.

and yet, all these governments happily trade with china all day long ... aint that the irony ? money above all :(

This journalist from the UK explains why..

As an inferior woman myself, I strongly object to genocide in general. Let my children live, please.

'Growing number of WESTERN lawmakers' nuff said. Show the world evidences or stfu.

Chinese are the new Barbarians.

the common thread is their kid is either fighting in syria or already dead fighting in syria. America just don't learn from their past, keeps getting in bed with wahabists and salafists.
