    The Spin

    Anti-China narrative

    These files paint a damning picture of the widespread abuse and injustice faced by Uyghurs at the hands of the Chinese government. Not only are they arbitrarily detained on the slimmest of pretexts, but even those who aren't imprisoned are subject to an ongoing campaign of surveillance and scrutiny. China's ultimate goal, in their own words, is to "break their roots, break their lineage, break their connections, break their origins." Western governments must do more to stop this.

    Pro-China narrative

    Nations with an anti-China agenda have consistently concocted misinformation about what's really happening in Xinjiang. The PRC's policies aren't about human rights or religion; they're about combating violent terrorism and radicalization. Thanks to these efforts, the region now enjoys social stability and harmony, as well economic development.

    Establishment-critical narrative

    Genocide accusations against China all originate from a single source: a German right-wing religious extremist, Adrian Zenz, affiliated with shady neoconservative think tanks. A careful review of Zenz's so-called evidence in the past has revealed flagrant data abuse and outright fabrications.
