The CCP’s human rights violations in Xinjiang have been condemned and sanctioned by the international community, and the issue of Xinjiang has now become the CCP’s most feared soft spot. Australian journalist Xu Xiuzhong has been attacked and abused by the Chinese Communist Party media for her reporting on human rights issues in Xinjiang. She was once a hard-core fan, but she gradually changed after studying overseas and learning many truths that she did not know at home.
Xu Xiuzhong, now a researcher at the Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI), has written many reports on human rights in Xinjiang for the Western media. Recently, as the Xinjiang cotton storm continues to rage in China, the Communist Party media and social media platforms have pointed the finger at Xu Xiuzhong, calling her the instigator of the Western boycott of Xinjiang cotton, vilifying her for “treason, drug use, and sex trafficking,” and calling her a “traitoress “, “female demon”.
Who would have thought that such a person, who has been smeared and abused by the Chinese Communist Party, was once a hardcore fan.
Xu Xiuzhong previously told the Australian media that she was a standard “patriotic young man” a few years ago, and only changed after she went to Australia to teach Chinese in 2014.
Her former colleague recalled that she was a “100% loyal nationalist” who would fight with classmates and boyfriends over the Chinese Communist government, and had a tattoo of a five-star blood flag on her ankle.
During her media studies at the University of Melbourne, she interviewed many ethnic Chinese to complete her studies, and had the opportunity to learn many truths that were not available to her on the mainland, including the June 4 massacre in Tiananmen Square and the Chinese Communist Party’s crackdown on dissidents.
In 2019, her family and friends in China began to be harassed and intimidated, her father stopped talking to her, and her mother warned her not to return to China in the future.
A few days ago she tweeted, “State Security began an increasingly alarming coercion of me and those around me, and people close to me were detained, interrogated, harassed, and isolated inside China. in late 2020, State Security called itself Detective ‘Thomas’ and spread pornography in broken machine-turned English on the oil tube like ‘sex life’ blasts to slut-shame me.”
She said, “If there was even a hint of shutting up and defending myself before, it certainly wasn’t there after the full internet violence. I had to keep writing until the ‘education and training center’ closed, until the end of forced labor, until the end of time. From my personal level, what is right must be done, and the price paid is worth it.”
