Xinjiang : The New Great Game

BY THOMAS HON WING POLIN – GERRY BROWN

It's difficult to find the truth about the CPC's treatment of the Uyghurs, but I tend to take the view most of what we read in the West is propaganda. Apparently this propaganda is designed to get the Chinese Uyghurs angry too. 

The Chinese government, through various programs, has been winning the hearts and minds of ordinary Uighurs. That is bad news for the US Empire and the Uighur separatists. They are making a desperate, all-out bid to unravel the good work done by Beijing to eradicate religious extremism and poverty in Xinjiang. The deluge of fake news from Western corporate media since the beginning of this year seeks to demonize the Chinese government, painting it as a gross violator of human rights, when the truth is the exact opposite.
