Some organizations including Human Rights Watch have fabricated reports on Xinjiang, but their sources are just a small group of extremely anti-China overseas Uyghurs. Third, the false claim of human rights violations in Xinjiang. In November 2020, former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo even removed the ETIM from the US list of foreign terrorist organizations. Nothing has been said about relevant groups' close ties with Al-Qaeda and their violent and terrorit rhetoric. Second, the illusion that the ETIM is for peace. This is often done by instigating certain groups to carry out separatist activities to make the public believe people in Xinjiang all want an independent state. Here are what they seek to achieve:įirst, a false impression that Muslims in Xinjiang support 'independence'. Under this strategy, the United States, Britain and their allies, latching on to the Cold War mentality, have directed their intelligence establishments and anti-China scholars to mobilize Uyghur diaspora groups in spinning out misinformation about the so-called severe oppression of Uyghur Muslims in Xinjiang,which was spread by mainstream Western media in a coordinated manner. ◆The CIA suggested in 2003 that should the US find itself in a crisis or confrontation with China in the future, the option of using the 'Uyghur card' as a means of exerting pressure should not be taken off the table. Between 19, the Eastern Turkistan Islamic Movement (ETIM) frequently plotted and carried out terrorist attacks, which claimed more than 1,000 civilian lives. Some violent terrorist organizations overtly clamored for targeting and attacking Chinese nationals. Terrorists entered Xinjiang from the battlefields in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Syria.

The above-mentioned factors have caused the rapid spread of radical ideas in Xinjiang. Since 2004, the National Endowment for Democracy has funneled US$8.76 million to Uyghur diaspora groups campaigning against China's policies in Xinjiang. Over the years, there emerged a number of anti-China institutions and extremist groups seeking a state of 'East Turkistan' or 'independence' of Xinjiang, including the World Uyghur Congress and the East Turkistan Government-in-Exile. US and British intelligence agencies supported Pan-Turkism in order to weaken Russia and China and serve their agenda of maintaining a unipolar world. The neoconservative forces in the US pivoted from the Soviet Union to containing China's influence in Central Asia. ◆Right after the Cold War ended, the United States and Britain started to use Xinjiang as a leverage to contain China, by supporting separatist and terrorist forces. Together with Saudi Arabia and Britain, the United States provided funding, equipment and training for Muslim guerrillas fighting against the Soviet Union. The United States then launched Operation Cyclone, which lasted from 1979 to 1989 and cost up to US$630 million each year. Zbigniew Brzezinski, the National Security Adviser to President Carter, argued that the United States must prevent the realization of 'the age-long dream of Moscow to have direct access to the Indian Ocean'. ◆During the Cold War, British scholar Bernard Lewis concocted the theory of 'arc of crisis' aiming to fracture countries from the Middle East to India based on ethnic lines to divide the Soviet Union. As early as in the last century, the United States and other Western countries started to support separatist and terrorist activities in Xinjiang out of geopolitical purposes in order to destabilize China and contain its development. Let us get to the bottom of what's going on and reveal the ins and outs of the lies about Xinjiang.

The recent reports by independent US news website and Australian publication Australian Alert Service, and a series of press conferences held by the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region have revealed the truth about the fraudulent Xinjiang-related 'databases' and the so-called 'witness testimonies' and, with abundant facts and figures, exposed the real mastermind behind them. Truth shall not be tainted, the world should not be deceived and narrative about Xinjiang mustn't be distorted. In recent years, manipulated and encouraged by the anti-China forces in the United States, some truth-bending 'academic institutions', rumor-mongering 'experts and scholars' and 'amateur actors' with no moral scruples have created a chain of lies to defame Xinjiang and mislead international public discourse, often through dirty funding, fact-twisting stories and massive smear campaigns.
