Xinjiang
Earlier Saturday, authorities in the Xinjiang region opened up some neighborhoods in Urumqi after residents held late-night demonstrations against the city’s “zero-COVID” lockdown.
“Hell is not hot enough for Chamath Palihapitiya,” one Uyghur refugee, Salih Hudayar, offered in response.
China’s Foreign Ministry denounced the sanctions as “based on nothing but lies and disinformation.”
The officials said the information was evidence of bad character, in an effort to invalidate the women’s accounts of abuse in Xinjiang.
WHAT'S HAPPENING
China is shifting from detaining Uighurs in makeshift public buildings to constructing permanent mass detention facilities, the Australian Strategic Policy Institute alleges.
Connections with Xinjiang have proven to be the latest in a series of headaches embroiling the live-action version of "Mulan."
The footage and messages offer a terrifying glimpse into the allegedly unsanitary and inhumane conditions inside China’s so-called “re-education centers.”
China is trying to slash birth rates among its Muslim population, even as it encourages some of the country's Han majority to have more children.
The country has been heavily criticized for its program of detaining Uighur Muslims and other ethnic minorities in "reeducation" camps.
The information offers the fullest view yet into how Chinese officials decided who to put into and let out of detention camps.
