The Xinjiang Genocide Determination As Agenda — Gordon Dumoulin, Jan Oberg and Thore Vestby

The purpose of this TFF analysis is to examine the status of the Newlines Institute and the circle of scholars and others who have produced and contributed to it and their connections. It also takes a closer look at The Report’s methods and content as well as the sources on which The Report bases its extremely serious conclusion, namely that the Chinese state is responsible for committing genocide and violates the central provisions of the said Convention in its policies in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR) intentionally.

TFF wants to make it very clear from the outset that we do not take a stand on whether or not what happens in Xinjiang is a genocide. As of principle, we would not state such an opinion unless we had also been on the ground in Xinjiang. The sole purpose is to examine what this first independent scholarly documentation – which was covered immediately by a wide range of Western mainstream media – is based on....
Most of what is in the report about the charge of genocide has been documented here already as not holding up to scrutiny and appears to be part of a propaganda campaign and information war against China. Here is a summary.

Morevoer, having engaged in this hybrid war aimed at regime change in China, the US finds itself embarrassed by China's publicizing actual genocide of Native Americans, slavery and the aftermath that persists today as systemic racism, and hate crimes against Asians, pictured against a pervasive background of imperialism and colonization that persists today as neo-imperialism and neocolonialism as foundational to neoliberalism and the so-called Western rules-based order under US leadership. The Global East and South are listening.

Today we are seeing the same strategies of disinformation being deployed to isolate and destroy an ascendant socialist China and leftists in the imperial core are once again being influenced by propaganda, uncritically, unthinkingly regurgitating Orientalist tropes about the barbarity of the Chinese regime. To defend the life of the mind against its debasement at the hands of imperialist propaganda, those on the left must put in the hard work of methodically, sceptically examining the articles of faith the establishment manipulates us into swallowing about China.

The lynchpin of the Western propaganda effort against China is the myth of the Uyghur genocide, a lie serving as justification for a long-planned war against China, which, as the biggest threat to US geostrategic hegemony, is a target for neutralization, and the propaganda is deeply, darkly manipulative, weaponising people’s innate sense of humanism against them....

Accusations by the United States government and its allies about genocide and forced labor in Xinjiang have brought China’s westernmost province into the gaze of the international media. This approach toward Xinjiang defines the information war prosecuted by Washington. In our conversations with Professor Li Bo and Professor Wang Yiwei, director of the Institute of International Affairs at Renmin University, as well as intellectuals from Kashgar and Ürümqi (Xinjiang’s capital), we developed a storyline that includes the dynamics of Xinjiang’s social development, the threats of extremism, and the enfolding of its problems into the wider hybrid war unleashed against China.

AS the BBC reports, "at recent press conferences, China's foreign ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin and Xinjiang official Xu Guixiang held up pictures of women who gave first-hand accounts of sexual abuse in detention camps and called them "liars"; said one was "morally depraved" and of "inferior character"; and accused another of adultery. One woman was branded a "bitch of bad moral quality" by a former husband in what appeared to be a staged video put out by state media; another was called a "scumbag" and "child abuser" by a Chinese official."

The BBC spoke with the Chinese Embassy, and reports the following: "The Chinese embassy in London told the BBC that China stood by its assertions that the women's accounts of rape and sexual abuse were lies, and said it was reasonable to publicise private medical records as evidence."

That last is a factual claim easily verified, and the BBC would not have made it if it could easily be falsified (whatever one thinks of the BBC).

One really has to conclude, if one is in any striving for objectivity, that the mistreatment of the Uighurs is very real.

“One really has to conclude, if one is in any striving for objectivity, that the mistreatment of the Uighurs is very real.”

Genocide based on that? One really has to conclude that there isn’t much evidence when THAT becomes the proof.

If you strive for objectivity you should listen to the other side too. You don’t ever do that.
