Communist Embassy in U.S. Tweets Claim Their Crackdown in Xinjiang Has Made Uighur Women Happier
The Chinese Communist Embassy in the United States tweeted today claiming that Beijing authorities’ crackdown on Xinjiang has resulted in the release of local women and improved gender equality. The tweet sparked outrage among netizens, who demanded that Twitter take it down.
The Chinese Embassy in the United States posted a link to a story in China Daily, the largest English-language newspaper of the Chinese Communist Party, at 2:23 a.m. U.S. time today, headlined “Extremism Fight Has Gained More Autonomy for Women in Xinjiang. Then it tweeted, “Studies show that in fighting extremism, Uighur women in Xinjiang have been psychologically freed, and their gender equality and reproductive health have improved, so that they are no longer reproductive machines. They have become more confident and independent.
However, experts believe that what the Chinese Communist Party is doing in Xinjiang is actually forcing Uyghur women to be sterilized. An NBC News report cited Adrian Zenz, a senior researcher in China studies at the Memorial Foundation for Victims of Communism, as saying that Communist officials are forcing Uyghur women to be sterilized or even aborted by fitting them with intrauterine devices in “re-education camps” where they are detained for failing to comply with pregnancy tests.
Zenz found that Communist authorities plan to reduce the natural birth or natural population growth of Uighurs to near zero by 2020.
The Chinese Communist Embassy in the U.S., however, took a big spicy step in this scenario by tweeting in English that Uyghur women are becoming happier, causing extreme discontent among netizens. Many claimed that if Twitter could delete President Donald Trump‘s controversial tweets, or even ban him, how would it deal with such an obvious lie by the CCP?
However, Twitter has also been slow to react to CCP spokesman Zhao Lijian‘s tweeting of fake photos satirizing the Australian military’s massacre in Afghanistan. One wonders if the world’s most important social platform only fixes people in democratic countries, while pretending not to see the evil deeds of authoritarian regimes.
