(
) A new state media report claims that the Chinese government is no longer holding Uyghur women in internment camps. The Uyghur women have been “emancipated” and are “no longer baby-making machines,” according to a tweet posted by the Chinese Embassy in the U.S.Related When Should Voters Expect to Hear Results from Battleground States?

Uyghurs are Muslims who are ethnically Turkic. They are a minority population.
“In the process of eradicating extremism, the minds of Uyghur women were emancipated and gender equality and reproductive health were promoted, making them no longer baby-making machines,” the report said. “Women have since been striving to become healthy, confident and independent.”
The report received backlash, with many saying that the Chinese government was admitting to the persecution of the Uyghur population in China.
CCP propaganda in full force.
Forced labour & sterilisations, organ harvesting & denouncement of religion are not signs of emancipation.
These are the signs of genocide.
Uyghur Muslims are being persecuted & stripped of their rights. https://t.co/QBxfcRuItl

This is sickening. Forcibly sterilising Uyghur Muslim women in internment camps and then boasting about how you have promoted “gender equality” as they are no longer “baby-making machines”.
How has Twitter allowed this AWFUL tweet to stay up? https://t.co/3wbO2CEHxM

In a research report released last year, Adrian Zenz, a German scholar, discovered that the Chinese government disguised these internment camps as “re-education camps” but according to Zenz’s research, were used as a form of threat and punishment. Officials detain women and families who fail to comply with pregnancy checks, forced contraception, sterilizations or abortions.
Chilling nonsense tweet from the Chinese government. An attempt to explain away the dramatic drop in Uyghur birth rates, which actually stem from forced abortion and sterilization. The use of negative stereotypes about large families to call this violence ‘emancipation’. #cdnpoli https://t.co/KmDfgxXCS3

Zenz said there had been a significant drop in the natural population growth rate in southern Xinjiang (Northwest China) in 2018 and claimed that China was trying to control the size of the Uyghur population.
Zenz said that the Chinese government had a plan to reduce natural birth or natural population growth to near zero by 2020.
The state media report denied that the decrease in birth rate and natural population growth was due to forced sterilization. The Chinese government attributed the decrease in population growth to family planning programs and increased education.
The state media report claims that safe, effective and appropriate contraceptive measures were available to couples of childbearing age in Xinjiang, and it is their personal decisions on whether to use those measures. As a result, the birthrate in Xinjiang decreased.
“An increasing number of people in southern Xinjiang were deciding to marry and have children later in life, seeing the benefits of fewer but better births, and the change was due more to personal choice than government policy.”
China denies any claims of forced sterilization, however, experts continue to believe Uighur women in Xinjiang are being sterilized.
