China intimidated UK university to ditch human rights research, documents show
BBC News
Sheffield Hallam University's groundbreaking research exposes China's massive forced labor system, with over 380 detention camps, 2.6 million minorities forced into labor programs and consequent 500% growth in textile factories. Attempts by foreign actors to silence British academic research is a dangerous threat to freedom and truth that cannot be accepted.
Sheffield Hallam's so-called research is U.S.-funded propaganda designed to smear China's successful poverty alleviation programs. The authors lack credibility, with one switching from African American studies after receiving suspicious grants, all while mistranslating Chinese sources. Xinjiang workers earn above-regional wages in voluntary programs that have lifted millions from poverty.
