BREAKING: Reuters reports on my new peer-reviewed academic paper, which provides substantial evidence of Beijing's intent to curb Uyghur births over next decades as the only way to achieve stated national security goals - curbing up to 4.5m births by 2040. news.trust.org/item/202106062…
This academic report provides answers to key open questions of:
1) Beijing's intent with the Uyghur population (why they must/will suppress births), and
2) uses that insight to quantify the "destruction in part" based on Chinese researcher's population projections./2
The "destruction in part" as per the U.N. Genocide Convention is the difference between:
a) the projected Uyghur population by 2040 with current family planning, and
b) the Uyghur population by 2040 if Beijing's ethnic population "optimization" / dilution goals are met.

/3
My full research paper contains extensive quotes and documentary evidence, and uses this evidence to preform a quantitative analysis. The baseline for the projections is a peer-reviewed international research paper published by Chinese academics. /4
I would like to thank the academic journal Central Asian Survey (@CA_Survey), who submitted my work to an unusually thorough academic peer review. They were extremely supportive in the whole process. /5
For more details, tune in for my testimony at the Uyghur Tribunal tomorrow from approx. 4.10pm British time.

A preprint of the full research paper will be made public at 9am ET on Tuesday. /6

This crucial new testimony from a Han police officer stationed in Xinjiang in 2018 (now in Germany) is a textbook lesson on mass atrocity dynamics.

Police "are taught" to view Uyghurs as "enemies", and hence treat them as such: torturing them is normal./1
uyghurtribunal.com/wp-content/upl…
"As part of my police training, I was taught to see Uyghurs as 'the enemy.'" - This dovedetails with my new research that concentrated Uyghur populations are seen as a threat and "human problem" that must be dealt with. /2
Uyghurs can be arrested at will. Police are encouraged to make up "credible" pretexts for doing so. /3

@GolleyJane has publicly endorsed what she calls an anonymous "scholarly paper" on Xinjiang.

This "paper" is a sub-standard work of denialism that thoroughly misrepresents my work, and bills sterilization as XJ "finally implementing family planning."/1
smh.com.au/world/asia/anu…
@GolleyJane prominently endorsed it on TV, saying it was "written by scholars", that she had read it "twice, including the footnotes", and that it was suited to "debunk" key claims about the atrocity.

Instead, it distorts the integrity of my work. /2
The authors of this "paper" either don't speak any Chinese or chose not engage with a single original source.

Instead, they cherry-picked from bits of my work, misrepresenting its substance and method, and managing to make multiple mistakes in the process. /3

Breaking: Xinjiang's latest 2020 Statistical Yearbook lacks ALL crucial population data:
- No birth rates by region
- No ethnic population breakdown
- No total population breakdown by region
- No data on birth control

This raises grave concerns over what Beijing is hiding. /1 Image
This unprecedented move literally eliminates almost any type of inquiry that would investigate Uyghur or other ethnic minority population developments.

This is a very concerning development that raises the troubling question of what exactly Beijing is hiding in Xinjiang. /2
Below is an initial list of missing data:
3-5 各地、州、市、县(市)户数、人口数、...
3-6 各地、州、市、县(市)人口自然变动情况
3-7 各地、州、市、县(市)分民族人口数
3-8 主要年份分民族人口数
3-9 各地、州、市、县(市)城乡及分年龄人口
3-10 各地、州、市采取各种避孕措施情况

Breaking: New evidence provided by me to Bloomberg implicates three of the world's largest polysilicon makers in Xinjiang's coercive labor transfer program - including some of the most blatant evidence I have seen to date:
/1
bloomberg.com/graphics/2021-…
A corporate official from TBEA, parent company of Xinte, is stationed in a village and participates directly in village-based work teams that go door-to-door, entering Uyghur households to recruit them into labor transfers.

TBEA also holds mass inter-ethnic weddings (photo). /2
A batch of Uyghur laborers from Qira County is shown swearing the oath of allegiance to the Communist Party, about to be transferred to several companies, including East Hope, a major polysilicon producer. "Don't cause trouble, ...work hard" they are told before being sent off./3

Apologies @MaureenAHuebel for the delay.

I have published a detailed anthropological study on Tibetans: brill.com/view/title/245…

My work on Xinjiang focuses on Chinese government documents & state media reports, drawing on existing testimony. See list: victimsofcommunism.org/leader/adrian-…
Some excerpts of that book and other publications are found here: ciu.academia.edu/AdrianZenz
My work should be read alongside those with extensive field experience in Xinjiang. Essential readings are @j_smithfinley edited volume, all contributions: tandfonline.com/toc/ccas20/38/1, @robertsreport War on Terror, @JimMillward's latest Eurasian Crossroads, ...

Breaking: the BBC publishes some of the most horrendous evidence yet of what happens in Xinjiang's camps. Endemic rape, brutal sexual torture of women, electric batons inserted into vaginas, Uyghur female detainees provided to Han men for a fee.
bbc.com/news/world-asi…
"Chinese men would pay money to have their pick of the prettiest young inmates".

"They forced me to go into that room. They forced me to take off those women's clothes and to restrain their hands and leave the room."
"The woman took me to the room next to where the other girl had been taken in. They had an electric stick, I didn't know what it was, and it was pushed inside my genital tract, torturing me with an electric shock."
