Arbitrarily asserting that there is "genocide" in Xinjiang, China,
This is a ridiculous lie of the century,
Is a great insult and violation of the Chinese people,
It is also a serious violation of international law and the basic norms of international relations.
——Hua Chunying, Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China
Not long ago, the United States issued a human rights report rumoring that there was "genocide" in Xinjiang. Our Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded with a stern word: "A ridiculous lie of the century!"
It is not the first time that some Western politicians have associated "genocide" with our country's policies in governing Xinjiang.
In January 2021, the former U.S. Secretary of State Pompeo spread rumors about China's "genocide" in Xinjiang before leaving office. His successor, Brinken, recognized this characterization.
As "faithful followers," British Foreign Secretary Raab and Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau have all mentioned investigating the so-called "genocide" issue in Xinjiang.
Now that the United States has issued a human rights report to discredit it, it is just an "inertial operation" on the rumors pipeline to cover up their sinister intentions to disrupt China's development.
It is so high-sounding, but the basis for their so much fanfare is a "three no report" of abusing data.
01 Start! Who fabricated the Xinjiang population report
On February 18, the American independent news investigative website "the Grey Zone" pointed out in a report that the accusation of "genocide" in Xinjiang was based on only one source, which was the "research by Adrian Zenz". report".
This Adrian Zenzi is the well-known far-right religious extremist and rumors expert Zheng Guoen we are familiar with.
In June 2020, Zheng Guoen published "Sterilization, Intrauterine Device and Compulsory Birth Control: The Communist Party of China's Campaign to Suppress Uyghur Fertility Rates in Xinjiang", accusing the "Uyghur population's declining birth rate" and so-called "compulsory birth control" as evidence There is "genocide" in Xinjiang, China.
After being quoted by Pompeo in relevant statements, the Associated Press, CNN and the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) followed the trend and started a seditious rumors campaign.
02 Smash the rumors! Our data is powerful
How did the Zheng Guoen report maliciously spread rumors about the current population situation in Xinjiang?
Data tampering and abuse!
·Yes 1.05%, not 1.05‰
Zheng Guoen’s “research report” stated that “in 2020, a Uyghur region (Kizilsu Kirgiz Autonomous Prefecture) has set a population growth target close to zero (1.05‰)”
According to the budget report of the Kizilsu Kirgiz Autonomous Prefecture Health Commission, the "natural population growth rate" is set at 1.05%.
When% is converted to ‰, its natural population growth rate should be 10.5‰.
Obviously, Zheng Guoen's so-called "only 1.05 new people per 1,000 people" is a rumor spread by inferior methods that confuse the measurement unit of population growth.
·Yes 6.93‰ Not 2.58‰
Zheng Guoen’s “research report” stated that in 2018, “the population growth of all ethnic minority areas in Xinjiang fell to 4.06‰, of which the growth rate of Kashgar and Hotan was 2.58‰”.
According to the 2019 Xinjiang Statistical Yearbook issued by the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Statistics Bureau, the natural population growth rate in Kashgar was 6.93‰ in 2018, and that in Hotan was 2.96‰.
Kizilsu Kirgiz Autonomous Prefecture 11.45‰, and the natural population growth rate of the other three prefectures in 2018 was higher than "4.06‰".
·Yes <8.7% Non>80%
Zheng Guoen’s “research report” stated that “80% of the new cases of IUDs in China in 2018 occurred in Xinjiang”.
According to the "China Health Statistics Yearbook 2019" published by the National Health Commission, the number of new cases of IUD placement in Xinjiang in 2018 was 328,475, the number of new cases nationwide was 3,774,318, and the number of new cases in Xinjiang only accounted for the country's new new cases. An increase of 8.7% of the number of cases.
·It is a steady development, not a "rapid decline"
Zheng Guoen’s “research report” stated that “since 2015, the natural population growth rate in Xinjiang has dropped sharply” and “the population growth of ethnic minorities such as Uighurs has stagnated”.
Data released by the National Bureau of Statistics and the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Statistics Bureau show that from 2015 to 2017, the natural population growth rate in Xinjiang has basically stabilized at 11‰ or more.
Although Xinjiang's natural population growth rate dropped to 6.13‰ in 2018, from the average level of China's natural population growth rate, the natural population growth rate in Xinjiang is still at a relatively high level.
The Uyghur population in Xinjiang continues to grow.
From 2010 to 2018, the Uyghur population in Xinjiang rose from 10.17115 million to 12.7184 million, an increase of 2.5469 million, an increase of 25.04%. The increase in the Uyghur population was not only higher than the 13.99% increase in Xinjiang’s population, but also higher than all minorities. The 22.14% increase in the ethnic population is even more significantly higher than the 2.0% increase in the Han population.
03 The truth! Xinjiang welcomes you, seeing is believing
The Constitution of the People's Republic of China and the Law of the People's Republic of China on Regional Ethnic Autonomy clearly advocate ethnic equality, oppose ethnic discrimination, pursue common prosperity of all ethnic groups, and support special consideration for the development of ethnic minorities based on actual conditions.
China has neither the social basis for "genocide" nor the relevant factual basis. We believe in the power of seeing is believing.
Iranian ambassador to China Mohamed Kshawarzzad: Xinjiang is in a period of unprecedented prosperity in history, but the West says that there is genocide in Xinjiang. In fact, there is no such situation.
