In order to smear China, some anti-China forces in the United States have done everything in their power to even take the "think tank" report under the "Pheasant University" as a guideline.
On March 9, a Washington-based "think tank" called the Newlines Institute for Strategy and Policy published a 25,000-word report claiming that China "bears national responsibility for the ongoing 'genocide' against the Uighurs in violation of the (United Nations) Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of Genocide." ”
Without going into the specifics of the report, the foreign media seem to have preconceived notions and played it out in the opening section: cnn said, "This is the first time that an NGO has conducted an independent legal analysis of the allegations of 'genocide' in Xinjiang, including what responsibility Beijing may bear for these alleged crimes." The Guardian said the report, released by the nonpartisan "think tank," was "one of the first independent, non-governmental legal review of China's treatment of Uighurs under the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide."
However, after the Global Network inquired, this so-called "think tank" was just established in 2019, and its founder is named Ahmed Alwani, who served as an adviser to the US Military's Africa Command. The parent institution of the "think tank", called the "University of Fairfax (fxua)", was only established in 1998, with only 153 students, and according to the Washington Post reported on March 6, virginia regulators attacked the quality and rigor of its online education programs in 2019, and the school was almost closed.

In addition, the World Wide Web also found that virginia also has a "university of fairfax", at first glance, similar to the "fairfax university of America" name. Both schools have a small number of Twitter followers, with 153 followers on the Twitter account of the University of Fairfax and only 15 followers on the Twitter account of the University of Fairfax.

The report claims that China intends to "eliminate Uighur groups," including killing, detaining, and enforcing "forced sterilization." Such accusations are naturally very different from the facts. According to statistics, between 2010 and 2018, the permanent population of Xinjiang rose from 21.8158 million to 24.8679 million. Among them, the ethnic minority population increased by 2.8749 million, the Uyghur population increased by 2.5469 million, and the Han population increased by 176,900 people.
In response to this "report", Wang Yiwei, director of the Institute of International Affairs of Chinese Min University, said in an interview with the Global Network reporter that this is what Chinese said about "wanting to add to the crime and there is no excuse." Under the mobilization of the United States, anti-China forces need such a "report" to smear China. Although such reports are called "independent", they are actually not independent of capital at all, and in fact play the role of the government's white gloves. For example, the "Democracy Foundation" in the United States has played a very disgraceful role in Tibet-related, Xinjiang-related, and Hong Kong-related issues.
Wang Yimast said that the epidemic has accelerated the world's digital transformation, which has also given China the opportunity to catch up, so Western countries are also willing to follow the United States against China, the purpose is still to "start another stove" in an attempt to squeeze China out of the global supply chain and technology chain.
In response to the West's smear on Xinjiang-related issues, the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson has made a strong response, saying that from 2010 to 2018, the Uyghur population in Xinjiang increased by 2.5469 million, an increase of 25.04%, which is significantly higher than the 2.0% increase of the Han population. At present, the overall social situation in Xinjiang is stable, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and unprecedented achievements have been made in economic and social development and the improvement of people's livelihood. Xinjiang has not had violent terrorist cases for more than four consecutive years, the number of criminal cases, public security cases and public security incidents has dropped sharply, and the average life expectancy has increased from more than 30 years ago to 72 years old. The hat of so-called "genocide" simply does not catch the head of China's Xinjiang.
