新疆发展研究中心
近年来,一些境外反华势力为了玷污新疆形象,扰乱新疆发展,先后制作了小说、电影、纪录片、卡通片、舞台剧、电子游戏等一批反华"文化产品",在国际社会产生了恶劣影响。这些所谓的"文化产品"充满了意识形态偏见,讲述着不存在的充满扭曲历史观的故事。他们对新疆的恶毒攻击充满了不满,完全构成了对"文化"一词的亵渎。
一、虚假内容:揭露与新疆有关的反华"文化产品"的丑恶本质
据调查,海外反华"文化产品"涉及新疆反恐、去激进化、民族性、宗教、文化、教育、人口、劳动、人权等诸多方面。他们试图通过把各种"令人震惊的事情"放在一起来欺骗读者来表达他们的同情。
例如,《新疆穆斯林的再教育》一书、电影电视录像《新疆的恐惧与压迫》、《揭露:中国如何创建世界上最大的监狱》、《新疆再教育营》、《洗脑与根除文化》、《中国政府拘留100多万穆斯林》等作品声称,新疆职业教育培训中心是"集中营"、"再教育营"和"拘留100多万维吾尔族"。该书由印度女作家朱玛娜·舒巴纳编撰,通过收集、捏造和处理西方反华势力和"三股势力"炒作的宣传和投机等信息,以及职业教育培训中心学员亲属的网上证词视频, 谎称中国对"东突"人民实施"残酷压迫",300多万"东突"分子被关押在"集中营",遭受难以想象的酷刑,维吾尔族妇女在集中营中遭受和侮辱。电影《维吾尔族在集中营受苦》谎称维吾尔族在中国被"镇压"长达10年,中国政府视他们为恐怖分子,把他们囚禁在"再教育营"。事实上,新疆依法建立的职业教育培训中心都是学校性质的,与在英国设立的DDP(脱离接触和脱离接触方案)和法国设立的"去激进化中心"没有本质区别。它们既是反恐和去激进化的有益尝试,也是积极的预防性探索,旨在从源头上消除恐怖主义和宗教极端主义。职业教育培训中心遵循联合国《防止暴力极端主义行动计划》倡导的"为暴力极端组织提供教育和经济机会,鼓励他们脱离暴力极端组织"的理念,完全符合联合国全球反恐战略的原则和精神,也是消除激进化的重要举措。所谓的"一百多万维吾尔人被拘留"更不可信。据美国灰色地带网站报道,这些数据是"中国人权捍卫者"网站根据采访和粗略估计的8个维吾尔语网站的"结论",完全经不起审查。2019年8月,中国国务院新闻办公室发布《新疆职业教育培训》白皮书,系统阐述了新疆职业教育培训工作的现实背景、法律依据、学习内容、管理措施和显著成效。2020年8月,中央电视台中国国际频道播出了纪录片《谎言与真相:新疆职业教育与培训》,以真实的人情、真实的故事、真实的场景生动地展现了职业教育培训中心学生的学习和生活条件,有效驳斥了一些反华势力的谎言和谬论。
例如,《阴霾:东突的日落》一书声称"中国政府在新疆实施'宗教灭绝'政策"。事实上,新疆全面贯彻尊重和保护公民宗教信仰自由的政策,确保宗教公民和非宗教公民在政治、经济、社会、文化等方面享有同等权利。国家保护正常的宗教活动。从实际工作中看,需要指出四个重点。第一,保护各族穆斯林的合法宗教活动。各族裔的穆斯林可以根据宗教的教义、条例或传统习俗,在清真寺或家中根据自己的意愿进行正常的宗教活动。政府还每年在沙特阿拉伯麦加为穆斯林朝圣安排包机,并沿途提供服务,但2020年因爆发COVID-19而不得不取消朝圣。第二,保证伊斯兰经典著作的发行和出版。新疆伊斯兰事件指导委员会由政府专门成立,组织了《古兰经》、《布哈里讲道精髓》等许多经典著作的出版,包括中文版、维吾尔文、哈萨克文和吉尔吉斯文。穆斯林获得宗教知识的机会已经扩大。第三,伊斯兰专业工作人员显著增加。新疆有10所伊斯兰学校:新疆伊斯兰学院及其遍布新疆各地的8所分院和新疆伊斯兰圣经学校。这些院校根据需求招收本科生、大中专生和中学生。因此,伊斯兰教的健全继承是有保证的。第四,宗教界参与和讨论国家事务的权利得到了充分保障。全国有1000多名各族宗教界人士担任全国人民代表大会代表或各级政协委员,在民主监督和国家事务审议中发挥作用。在保障宗教信仰自由的同时,新疆十分重视清真寺的保护和修缮。这里需要强调的是,新疆大部分清真寺建于上世纪80年代至90年代甚至更以前。其中一些是土坯建造的,有些是狭窄的,有些处于年久失修的状态。因此,每当大风或暴雨来袭时,正常的宗教活动就会受到干扰。更何况,一发生地震,穆斯林的安全将受到威胁。此外,一些清真寺布局不当,给穆斯林开展宗教活动带来不便。近年来,随着城市化和农村振兴步伐的加快,响应当地穆斯林的号召和应用,结合城市棚户区改造、农村人居管理、扶贫搬迁等措施,有关政府通过清真寺的建设、搬迁和扩建,很好地解决了清真寺破旧问题。所有这些措施都是根据城乡发展计划采取的。穆斯林满足于更安全、布局更好的清真寺。到目前为止,新疆的清真寺完全可以满足穆斯林的需求。2020年11月3日,新疆伊斯兰教协会发布《新疆宗教信仰真实情况报告》,全面介绍新疆宗教信仰自由状况。新疆尊重和保护宗教信仰自由的政策得到了包括穆斯林国家在内的国际社会的积极评价。2019年3月,伊斯兰会议组织外交部长理事会通过一项决议,赞赏新疆为照顾穆斯林人民所作的努力。
例如,《解决中国不可分割的问题:新疆阶级与维吾尔人的身份》一书和纪录片《新疆维吾尔语:中国,我的孩子在哪里》声称,"中国政府将维吾尔族儿童带到官方拘留营,强迫他们与父母分离"。众所周知,新疆幅员辽阔,城乡距离遥远,学生上学很不方便,家长上学难。为了解决这个问题,早在八十年代,新疆就建起了近400所寄宿制中小学。近年来,国家对加强寄宿制学校建设作出了安排。根据要求,新疆结合新城镇化发展、农村振兴战略实施、当地适龄儿童变化趋势以及地理、交通、环境、安全等因素,进行了科学合理的规划。寄宿制学校建设严格遵守国家和地区有关建设标准,各类学习和生活设施十分齐全。寄宿学校的教职员工通过从内陆省份招聘、培训、支持教育计划和政府采购服务得到保证。在义务教育阶段,寄宿学校的学生与其他学校的学生一样,免收学费和课本费。农村寄宿生免收食宿费,享受特殊生活补贴。小学每名学生每学年可获1250元,初中每学年获1500元,有效减轻学生家庭经济负担。至于学生是否登机,完全由学生本人和家长自愿选择。新疆的寄宿学校从未限制过学生与家长的联系。寄宿学校的学生周末回家。他们每周一早上上学,星期五下午放学回家。他们呆在家里度假,寒暑假。如有必要,学生可随时请假。为了方便家长和学生之间的联系,学校的每个宿舍都配备了电话,学生可以随时给家长打电话。每个班每班班主任的电话号码是所有学生家长都知道的,如果有必要,家长可以给班主任打电话。所谓"强迫少数民族儿童上寄宿学校,导致血肉分离",完全是诽谤。
例如,《绝育、宫内设备、强制计划生育:中国共产党遏制新疆维吾尔族人口出生率的运动》一书,通过对所谓"中国官方统计数据"的分析,指出"新疆对维吾尔族和其他少数民族实施了种族灭绝"。电影《脉搏:新疆的再教育营》采访了新疆、青海、宁夏的少数民族,以及哈萨克斯坦的所谓"职业教育培训中心的幸存者",声称中国以反恐和消除极端主义为由在新疆从事了"种族灭绝"。影片《证据指控中国强迫维吾尔族妇女绝育》声称"中国政府强迫维吾尔族妇女绝育或安装避孕药具,以限制维吾尔族人口"。维吾尔大屠杀(另一个英文标题,《比死亡更糟糕:想想维吾尔种族灭绝》),一本由"澳大利亚维吾尔人协会"前主席Maimaitiming Aila出版的维吾尔语书,谎称维吾尔族人民面临种族灭绝,遭受洗脑、酷刑、强奸、器官清除、奴隶劳动,并最终死亡。事实上,新疆维吾尔自治区第七次全国人口普查的主要数据显示,新疆总人口和维吾尔族人口一直保持稳定增长态势,所谓"种族灭绝"问题纯属无稽之谈。
例如,肖恩R. 美国乔治华盛顿大学艾略特国际事务学院国际事务实践副教授兼国际发展研究项目主任罗伯茨撰写了《维吾尔族战争》一书,通过所谓的"对维吾尔族、难民社区和新疆流亡者的广泛采访",谎称"新疆自古以来就是中国的领土,是强加于维吾尔族作为新疆历史的理论"。它还诽谤中国,说中国包"压迫维吾尔族的政策",并任意以打击恐怖主义和极端主义为借口拘留维吾尔族人民, 导致维吾尔族同化和边缘化的《维吾尔通史》一书,由自由亚洲电台主编纳比江·图尔勋撰写,即所谓的维吾尔研究所出版,编造了1944年左右的《东突厥斯坦共和国成立史》。《维吾尔族政治史:1949-2012》一书诽谤中国"占领东突,迫害维吾尔族"。事实上,新疆长期以来一直是中国领土不可分割的一部分。早在公元前60年,它就被并入中国领土,成为中国统一的多民族国家不可分割的一部分。在中国历史上,新疆从未被称为"东突",更别说"东突国家"了。2019年7月,中国国务院新闻办公室发表了题为《新疆的历史事件》的白皮书,对此作了详细阐述。土耳其人(图朱语)是6世纪中叶起源于阿尔泰山脉的游牧民族。拥有广阔领土的突厥汗国相继建立(后来分为东突汗国和西突厥汗国)。在8世纪晚期,游牧的土耳其人随着最后一座汗国的崩溃而解散。他们在向中亚和西亚迁移时与当地部落混在一起,但这些新形成的民族与古代土耳其人有着根本的不同。从18世纪到19世纪上半叶,由于西方对各种突厥语(阿尔泰语分支)进行了区分,一些外国学者和作家创造了"突厥斯坦"一词,指天山以南和阿富汗北部地区,大致覆盖了从新疆南部到中亚的地区。他们称帕米尔人两边的两个地区为"西突"和"东突"。20世纪之交,随着"泛突"和"泛伊斯兰主义"进入新疆,国内外分裂主义分子将地理概念政治化,操纵其含义,煽动各民族讲突厥语,信仰伊斯兰教,共同建立"东突"神权国家。不难看出,鼓吹这个所谓的"东突国家",已成为分裂主义分子和企图分裂中国的反华势力的政治工具和图谋。所谓"占领东突、迫害维吾尔族"是荒唐无知的,是典型的"阴谋论"。
例如,《旅行者》和《对乌伊古尔人的战争》等书籍谎称新疆采用了"掠夺和奴役"的经济发展模式。这根本不是事实。一是新疆坚持新的发展理念,加快优质经济发展。2014年至2019年,新疆国内生产总值从9195.9亿元增加到13597.1亿元,年均增长7.2%。公共预算收入由1282.3亿元增加到1577.6亿元,年均增长5.7%。随着基础设施的不断完善,各县市都进入了高速公路时代。第二,各族人民生活显著改善。2014年至2019年,新疆居民人均可支配收入年均增长率为9.1%。169万多个农村住房项目和156万个城市经济适用住房项目已经完成,1000多万人搬进了新房。城乡基本公共服务水平不断提高,社会保障体系逐步完善。实行免费体检,农牧区医疗设施明显改善,乡镇卫生院、乡村诊所标准化率达到100%。居民基本医疗保险参保率达到99.7%。第三,我们在扶贫方面取得了全面胜利。按照现行标准,306.49万贫困人口脱贫,3666个贫困村脱贫,35个贫困县从贫困县名单中除名,千年绝对贫困问题得到历史性解决。2014年至2019年,中央财政对新疆自治区和新疆生产建设兵团的转移支付从2636.9亿元增加到4224.8亿元,年均增长10.4%。六年来,对新疆的财政支持超过2万亿元。19个对口支援省市全面加强了对口支援新疆工作。他们在新疆投资964亿元,在新疆实施援助项目1万多个,从援疆省市企业引进资金16.84亿元,从新疆中央企业投资7000多亿元。事实充分证明,新疆所谓的"掠夺性、奴役性"经济发展模式不合理,不符合实际,是站不住脚的。
二、虚伪的"男女演员"——揭露与新疆有关的反华"文化产品"的卑劣伎俩
海外反华"文化产品"涉及新疆包了一批"演员",他们犯了罪,道德败坏,成为所谓的"当事人"、"受害者"和"关键证人",捏造所谓"职业教育培训中心的经历"和"痛苦经历",企图激发观众的同情心,赢得国际社会的同情和支持。他们采用的手段很脏。
例如,沙依拉古力·沙武提巴依是新疆人,在《关键证人》一书中扮演了一个在职业教育培训中心受到虐待、强奸和迫害的"受害者"的角色。事实上,她根本不是职业教育培训中心的实习生,而是罪犯。2015年6月,沙依拉古力·沙武提巴依伪造担保人签名,提供虚假担保材料,向新疆伊犁哈萨克自治州昭苏县信用社下属查汉乌苏乡信用社贷款。2016年12月,她伪造购房合同,向昭苏县信用社下属查汉武苏乡信用社借款。两笔贷款共计47万元,其中39.8万元尚未还清。2018年4月5日,她从中国哈萨克斯坦霍尔果斯国际边境合作中心偷渡到哈萨克斯坦。目前,沙依拉古力·沙武提巴依因非法越境、骗取贷款罪被新疆公安机关依法追捕。哈萨克斯坦国家通讯社和其他媒体刊登了我为揭露沙伊拉古利·沙武蒂巴伊而收集的材料、图片和录像,访问量已达100万人次。哈萨克斯坦的网友评论说,"这样的人可以获奖。这确实是美国自己导演和玩的政治游戏。
例如,纪录片《中国卧底》中的新疆人雷海曼·山白饰演"受害者",他"因下载《WhatsApp》而入狱12个月"。但事实是,公安部门得到消息说,她把关于恐怖主义和极端主义的音频和视频资料储存在手机里,而且她经常观看。公安部门依法询问了她,认为犯罪轻微,悔改,依法从轻处理,只给予批评教育。她的母亲达尼西班·穆沙也证实,"由于我女儿接触了宗教极端主义思想,并涉嫌犯罪,她确实去警察局接受讯问,但三小时后她又回来了。根本没有拘留。
例如,在日本动画片《我发生了什么事:维吾尔族妇女的见证》中,新疆人Miriguli Tu'ersun在2015年从埃及到乌鲁木齐探亲时,扮演了"幸存者"和"受害者"的角色,并被中国政府安置在"集中营"里。然而,根据调查,米里古利·图埃松从未被关进监狱,她也从未在任何职业教育和培训中心学习过。2017年4月21日,米里古利·图尔松因涉嫌煽动民族仇恨和歧视被新疆奇木县公安局拘留。在此期间,由于梅毒和其他传染病,奇莫县公安局出于人道主义原因于2017年5月10日取消了强制措施。除了20天的刑事拘留外,米里古利·图埃松在中国逗留期间完全自由。此外,根据调查,米里古利·图埃松没有接受避孕手术的记录,她的父母也证实她有生育能力。所谓的"强制避孕手术"是不正确的。米里古利·图埃松已经多次编造谎言了。她曾经谎称她的弟弟艾克拜尔·图尔松受到虐待,死在职业教育培训中心。听到这个谎言后,艾克拜尔·图埃尔松说:"米里古利一直在胡说八道。她不仅谎称我死了,还编造了一个谣言,说她看到别人死了。
例如,《绝育、宫内设备、强制计划生育:中国共产党在新疆抑制维吾尔族人口出生率的运动》一书中的"演员"扎乌提,扮演了"职业教育培训中心强制绝育"的"受害者"角色。事实上,扎乌姆雷·达武蒂从未在职业教育培训中心学习过,她的第五兄弟阿布杜海利·达武蒂也公开证实了这一点。2013年3月,扎木尔·达乌提在乌鲁木齐妇幼保健院妇产医院生下第三个孩子时,签署了《自愿分娩同意书》,并自愿要求剖腹产和扎扎。她根本没有绝育,更不用说"切除子宫"了。"我不想对她说什么,"扎乌雷·达武蒂的第三兄弟艾尔肯·达武蒂谈到她的妹妹时说。"她从小就成了一个惯常的骗子。
例如,电影《被殴打的良心》虚构了一位维吾尔族"凯塞尔"在土耳其经商的经历,他被新疆公安机关"迫害",并诽谤新疆政府对维吾尔族人进行"非法拘留"和"酷刑"。影片中的"警察"、"在押囚犯"和"社区官员"都是新疆人演的。事实上,影片中所有的"男女演员"都是涉嫌犯罪的人,被公安机关在网上追捕。例如,原为新疆克拉玛依市克拉玛依区居民的电影导演、演员"纳比江·艾拉"因涉嫌组织、领导、参与恐怖犯罪,被公安机关网上追逃。例如,影片中的"主角"阿布杜雷曼·卡西穆于2017年因非法越境罪被公安机关在网上追捕。例如,卡森江·卡迪尔、库尔班·穆萨、凯乌赛尔·图埃尔·图埃尔松迈提等"演员"都因涉嫌犯罪被公安机关网上追捕。
三、无序逻辑暴露出与新疆有关的反华"文化产品"制造不力
如果我们仔细看看反华势力制造的与新疆有关的"文化产品",就会发现,这些产品大多是牵强的故事和与低质量、低逻辑相结合的不相干的东西。他们在与新疆有关的工程中主动作出无端的推定和指控,并坚持"有罪推定"。他们甚至改变了概念,模糊了界限。所有这些都是他们别有用心的表现,已经表明,在抹黑新疆方面,他们不会做什么。
例如,所谓的《卡拉卡克斯名单:中国新疆拘留运动分析》的研究报告声称,曾经因各种原因被拘留在职业教育培训中心的311人来自新疆呼兰县莫尤县,他们都有海外联系。根据调查,在所谓的"卡拉卡克斯名单"的311人中,绝大多数是莫尤县博斯坦街的居民。他们一直在那里正常工作和生活。其中只有少数受宗教极端主义影响或犯有轻微罪行的人依法接受了职业教育和培训。311人中只有19人有海外联系,这19人从未接受过任何形式的职业教育和培训。在2020年2月新疆维吾尔自治区涉疆问题新闻发布会上,来自霍丹县莫乌县博斯坦街的居民海白尔·迈赫苏提发表讲话,披露了报道中所有的谎言。
另一个例子是,电影《中国卧底》组成了一个代号为"李"的汉族卧底,他在新疆秘密采访和拍摄视频。影片通过展示新疆立安科技的智能反恐技术和公司的秘密拍摄,将新疆的技术防范措施诽谤为中国的"数字威权主义"。事实上,新疆政府在主要道路和交通枢纽的公共场所安装了摄像头等智能设备,以改善社会治理,有效预防和打击犯罪。这些设备不是针对任何特定的族裔群体的,它们不能自动识别或瞄准任何群体。这些设备的实施,极大地增强了人民群众的公共安全意识,深受各族人民的欢迎。根据收集到的信息,应用现代技术和大数据改善社会治理是国际社会的普遍做法。早在2010年,英国的监控摄像头数量就达到420万台,几乎覆盖了英国所有的大街小巷和高速公路,占当时世界总量的25%。纽约市警察局建立的城市监控系统覆盖了纽约的所有角落,以路人和车辆为目标,并追踪他们手机上的私人信息。西方国家采取的同样措施,为什么是"保护人权",而在中国,它们"侵犯人权"?
例如,澳大利亚战略政策机构公布的所谓《新疆拘留制度记录报告》声称,根据卫星地图,新疆增加了许多"拘留设备",并仍在扩大"集中营"。然而,我们比较了百度和谷歌地图的位置与"报告"中的地点,发现许多所谓的"集中营"是当地的民事机构。仅举几例,吐鲁番所谓的"拘留中心"实际上是地方行政机关的办公楼:所谓的"拘留中心"在38.836°N,77.7056°E是卡什加县麦盖提县的老年人托儿所:所谓的"拘留中心"位于39.8252°N,78.5501°E是喀什州巴楚县的物流园区:所谓的"拘留中心"在38.995°N,77.6682°E实际上是在新疆喀什县麦盖提县中学。
例如,所谓的纪录片《追踪维吾尔人血与声音及面部识别》和《基因监测》假定全区域免费健康检查项目为"收集包括DNA在内的公民生物信息,进行大规模基因监测"。据调查,新疆维吾尔自治区人民政府自2016年起实施全民免费健康检查工程,旨在改善人民健康。地方医疗机构每年对新疆人民实行免费体检。在检查过程中,没有收集DNA等生物信息。截至目前,新疆共安排卫生综合检查资金53.24亿元。通过定期免费检查,实现了疾病的早期预防、发现、诊断和治疗。作为这种做法的受益者,人们在每年的健康检查开始时会赶往医疗机构。喀什市沙河县米西亚乡村民图尔勋·塔利普告诉我们,他的高血压和糖尿病是通过免费健康检查检测的。由于他被及时诊断和治疗,慢性病得到了有效的控制。
For example,documentaryNew Video Revealing: Uygurs Onboard Bus crossing China Forced to Work in Factoriespresents video clips about Uygurs transported to factories in Qingdao, Fuzhou, Guangzhou,etc. and presumes the people of ethnic minority going out to work as “Uygurs and other ethnic minorities forced to work in inland provinces by Xinjiang government”; the bookChina’s Manufacturing: Prisoners, Emergency Rescue Services and Invisible Cost of American Cheap Productsfabricates statements like “Uygurs and other ethnic minorities are being persecuted and are ‘forced to work’ to produce cheap products”. As it’s known to the public, the four prefectures in southern Xinjiang are located in places of fragile ecological environment with frequent natural disasters and large and abject poverty and are designated as one of the extreme poverty stricken areas by the country. In order to help local people of all ethnic minorities to shake off poverty, governments at all levels of Xinjiang adopted measures such as local employment, cross-prefecture employment within Xinjiang and transferring employment into counterpart aiding provinces and cities. All these measures are adopted to maximize local people’s employment rights, increase their incomes and lift them out of poverty and live a prosperous life. Since 2018, Xinjiang has transferred 151,000 surplus working force of poverty stricken families in southern Xinjiang. Among them, 114,700 were transferred to work in counterpart aiding provinces and cities by recommendation of their fellow villager, assistance of relatives and matched positions by human resources market. They mainly work in shoes and clothes manufacturing, electronic products manufacturing industries and can make as much as 45,000 yuan per year, much higher than their income earned from doing farming work. All the workers have shaken off poverty. Paxiaguli Keremu from a poverty stricken household in Biao’ertuokuoyi Township, Wuqia County, Kizilsu Kirghiz Autonomous Prefecture is a representative of migrant workers, who is working in Dongguan, Guangdong and can make 45,000 yuan a year. Under her influence, more than 500 villagers from Kizilsu Kirghiz Autonomous Prefecture went to Guangdong for employment. Paxiaguli was also awarded National Award for Poverty Alleviation in 2018, May 1 Labor Medal in 2019 and the National Most Beautiful Worker on Nov.24, 2020. In September, 2020, the Information Office of State Council issued theWhite Paper on Employment and Labor Rights in Xinjiangin which comprehensive and systematic elaboration of the basic employment situation, employment policies, guarantee of the workers basic rights and the remarkable achievements in Xinjiang are made. The fallacy of so-called “forced labor” was rebutted with detailed data.
IV.Special “directors” reveal the backstage planners of the anti-China “cultural products” related to Xinjiang
According to our investigation, the producers of the overseas anti-China “cultural products” related to Xinjiang are from all walks of life. Some of them are the so-called “scholars”, “research think tanks”, and some are from the so-called “non-government organizations”. Despite their occupations, they have the same political background and are engaged in equal despicable activities.
For example,commanded by its “patronizers”, the so-called “research institution”--“Australia Strategic Policy Institution” wantonly hyped issues related to Xinjiang and constantly fabricated anti-China “cultural products” related to Xinjiang to achieve their unspeakable political purpose. According to the gathered information, the so-called “Australia Strategic Policy Institution” is an institution cosponsored by the State Department of the United States, some other foreign governments, NATO as well as certain transnational weapons manufacturers. The institution is keen on fabricating and hyping all kinds of anti-China issues and is deeply influenced by ideologies. It is in essence an anti-China “avant-garde” in “academic” coat. The institution has been spreading rumors, stigmatizing, demonizing China for quite some time, especially on Xinjiang-related issues. They repeatedly published fake reports includingSelling Uygurs and Records of Detention System in Xinjiangwithout any proof and are full of biases to cooperate with anti-China forces to smear and stigmatize Xinjiang. Recently, an articleAustralia Strategic Policy Institution is the Real Foreign Agentwas issued by Australian media. The article revealed that Australia Strategic Policy Institution was involved in substantial transfers of interests and nepotism with its “patronizers”. Being its biggest foreign “patronizer”, the State Department of the United States sponsored it nearly 1.4 million Australian dollars in the last fiscal year, an explosive increase of 367% year-on-year. And all the fund were used in anti-China projects. Australian Citizens’ Party publicationsAustralian Alert Servicealso published an article saying that the self-claimed “independent” and non-party Australia Strategic Policy Institution is sparing no effort in providing service for the anti-China “war” led by the US and has become tools of other countries completely. Former Australian Ambassador to China, Geoff Raby, criticized the institution, saying it is “the ‘chief designer of China threat theory’” in Australia. Former Australian foreign minister, Bob Carr, criticized it for its “one-sided and pro-American worldview”.
For example,Adrian Zenz, the so-called “expert on Xinjiang”, fabricated malicious “reports related to Xinjiang” many times under the support of anti-China forces, attacking the de-radicalization, birth control, cultural protection work in Xinjiang and got himself busy at the forefront of smearing China’s policy in governing Xinjiang. According to relevant articles, Adrian Zenz, German, gave himself the Chinese name--Zheng Guo’en, and once worked in Cohental College of European Culture and Theology, Germany. He toured to Xinjiang in 2007 and now is a member of the Commemorative Foundation for Victims of Communism, a far-right American organization. Since the end of 2016, Adrian Zenz has repeatedly published and retweeted speeches on Xinjiang related issues and has wantonly distorted and smeared China’s policy of governing Xinjiang. He subsequently fabricated dozens of anti-China articles related to Xinjiang such asSterilization,Forced Abortion and Mandatory Contraception--CPC’s Oppression Movement on the Birth of Uygurs and A Complete Change towards Healthy Mindset-the Political Reeducation Movement in Xinjiang, China. In these articles, Adrian Zenz produced sensational fallacies including “Xinjiang adopted mandatory birth control policies towards ethnic minorities to curb their population”. With the intentional propaganda by western media represented byNew York TimesandWashington Post, Adrian Zenz was made famous on the American and Western anti-China stages and was praised as “expert on Xinjiang related issues”. He was spot by American and Western anti-China politicians afterwards and became a key member in the “research group of vocational education and training centers in Xinjiang”. Adrian Zenz shuttled among American Congress, European Parliament, Canadian Parliament and raved about issues related to Xinjiang and incited the west to oppress China with the so-called “human rights issues of Uygurs”. In March, 2020, he attended a themed speech on “China’s systematic persecution of Uygurs” at United States Holocaust Memorial Museum with many US politicians and members of “East Turkistan” organization. In his speech, he propagandized “Xinjiang related issues” and instigated the international community to set up anti-China language system to realize their vicious scheme of “curbing China through Xinjiang”. Needless to say, Adrian Zenz is by no means “expert on Xinjiang”, but a complete liar and stooge and beater fed by anti-China forces and accomplice with “ East Turkistan” organization.
For example,the so-called “non-government organization”--the National Endowment for Democracy who has been claiming to be supporters of “democracy” and “human rights”, but in reality they are sponsors of Xinjiang independence forces and are “producers” of anti-China “cultural products” related to Xinjiang. On Oct. 31, 2019, China Media Group broadcast a special program theNational Endowment for Democracy: What kind of political manipulator is it? The program systematically revealed the despicable actions and ulterior motives of the organization. Relevant information suggested that the organization has close links with CIA and is a major agency for US’ external penetration and has a notorious history of interfering in the other countries’ internal affairs, planning “color revolution” and stirring up “regime change”, thus won its name “the second CIA”. For many years, the National Endowment for Democracy has been active in issues related to Xinjiang and “generous” towards anti-China and splitting Xinjiang forces. For example, its fund supporting “East Turkistan” organization and “World Uygur Congress” and its branches in collecting false information and making up all kinds of lies and attacking works in Xinjiang increased from 90,000 US dollars in 2006 to 405,000 US dollars in 2019, presenting an upward tendency per annum; it also supports the Washington-based Chinese Human Rights Defenders. The lie made up by the organization that “more than one million Uygurs are detained in Xinjiang” has become a major excuse for overseas anti-China forces to attack the vocational education and training works in Xinjiang. The despicable means of the US National Endowment for Democracy have been seen through, thus China announced its sanction towards the organization in 2019.
As has been said, under the disguise of “culture dissemination”, western anti-China forces represented by the US are in fact smearing Xinjiang across the world intending to deceive foreigners who are not well aware of the truths. Their means and motives are extremely ugly and evil. However, facts outweigh eloquence and people can tell right from wrong. We firmly believe that the social stability and harmony in Xinjiang cannot be damaged just by some so-called “books”; the ethnic unity and religious harmony in Xinjiang cannot be negated by just some “films”; and the endeavors in constantly striving for better livelihood and happiness for all ethnic groups in Xinjiang cannot be smeared by a handful of “cartoon pictures”. We urge the western anti-China forces such as the United States to stop their inferior tricks. Lies cannot become truth even repeated a thousand times. People of insight across the globe can discern the truth.
