> The enitity that tweeted this statement forecibly sterlized women

Do you have the slightest evidence for this? Census data shows that Uighur population doubled in the past 30 years, because this population hasn't been subjected to the "one child policy" among other things.

This is a war of propaganda, from both side. None is particularly more believable than the other. proceed with caution.

I was interested to learn that this policy only dates back to 2014, rather than being some longtime oppression. I had thought it was more similar to America's relationship with the Native Americans.

> For decades, China had one of the most extensive systems of minority entitlements in the world, with Uighurs and others getting more points on college entrance exams, hiring quotas for government posts and laxer birth control restrictions. Under China’s now-abandoned ‘one child’ policy, the authorities had long encouraged, often forced, contraceptives, sterilization and abortion on Han Chinese. But minorities were allowed two children — three if they came from the countryside.

Anyway, a world where China's tweet is up and this link is the first reply to it strikes me as far better, in discourse and the availability of truth, then a world where I know I'm only allowed to read this article and China cannot defend themselves.

This is a good source that summarizes some of the primary accounts: https://foreignpolicy.com/2020/07/01/china-documents-uighur-...

I am afraid this isn't propaganda unlike the above tweet.

Written by Adrian Zenz. I am sorry but if you really want to convince me/someone something isn't propaganda Adrian Zenz isn't the person to link. He is ultra religious and wrote some questional material before he felt "lead by God" against China, and has had quite a few times were we spread fake news.

I find it weird to denounce one as propaganda but not look into who wrote this. A lot of the anti China sources are based on his or US and/or weapon manufacturers funded sources.
