The fake Uygur "genocide" claim

San Francisco CA

Description

The fake Uygur "genocide" claims, however, are expected to continue until the opening of the 2022 Winter Olympics. More such deceptive reports like the Newlines Institute of Strategy and Policy's will probably be published and propagated by the Western media in the run-up to that event. The latest focus of the West's information warfare campaign against China are the fake claims that China is carrying out "genocide" against the Uygur people of its Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. These accusations have already been conclusively debunked by Chinese officials and dozens of foreign ones who've visited the country's westernmost province over the past few years, yet they're nevertheless still serving as the vanguard of attacks against China's international reputation. CNN has been leading the charge and once again pushed this false narrative in a provocative piece that draws attention to a recent report about this topic. Having exposed these slanderous anti-Chinese claims of "genocide" as unsubstantiated, it's now time to explain why they're being so actively propagated in the media nowadays. The main motivation isn't just to harm the country's international reputation, especially among many Muslim-majority Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) participating countries, but to lay the basis for unilateral sanctions against China ahead of what arguably appears to be an emerging campaign to boycott the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing. Sports should never be politicized, but just like the run-up to the 2008 Summer Olympics was, so too is the upcoming one. At that time, some Western officials and their media tried playing the same "genocide" card with China's Tibetan minority. There were even attempts to stir up trouble in the Tibet Autonomous Region too, just like is presently happening in Xinjiang. The latest hybrid war provocations have failed to achieve any success on the ground because of the many important lessons that China learned from the Tibetan experience ahead of the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing.
