🧡Guess many may suddenly be interested in knowing more abt #Muslims & #Uyghurs in #China.
So, I've decided to make this thread of videos of me interviewing those ppl across China in 2021.

Chinese Imam from Inner Mongolia on terrorism & Western countries "care" for Muslims.πŸ‘‡
Joining a mid-day prayer at a mosque in Bayannur. Qurans in multiple languages. #Muslims #China

Btw, I entered the mosque with the permission of the Imam, he was very welcoming, didn't mind me joining as a woman at all.
To respect their traditions, I decided to put a veil on.
Chinese #Muslims go on Hajj too? Yessss!

These Muslims all have done their annual pilgrim to #Mecca, they showed me the uniforms they wore representing the Chinese Pilgrim Group.

The Imam is so happy people know which country they represented when in Mecca.

Thanks to The New York Times @nytimes for putting my vlogs in your recent article, especially the ones I made in #Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.
Even though you published the article that involves me before I reply, I still would kindly offer my reply. (Thread)
Part 1: πŸ‘‡
Part 2: πŸ‘‡
The New York Times's 1st question:
Am I misleading people on my personal YouTube channel (which I started to use looong before I joined CGTN)?
If Chinese companies' employees need to be labelled, then shouldn't NYT employees be labelled as "corporate-funded media?"
Part 3:πŸ‘‡
I totally get @paulmozur and many Western journalists' concerns over govt-backed people & organs.
So may I kindly suggest you also investigate @ASPI @UyghurCongress @NEDemocracy who receive funding from US govt & military-industrial complex? @nytimes

An afforestation story in #China.
People spent 30 years transforming the sandstorm-hit, barren land in Aksu, Xinjiang, into a dense forest, a green Great Wall to protect locals from the harsh environment. #COP26

The original landscape. After 30 yrs of afforestation.
It was mainly Gobi dessert in Aksu.
Land desertification & salinization was a major problem.
Yet, in 30 yrs, locals transformed it.
They built 768.6 million mΒ² forest that includes shelterbelts, forest of economic values, like apples.
#AfforestationInChina
#COP26
It's called Kekeya, which means Gobi desert in Uyghur.
Now ppl use "Kekeya Spirit" to represent solidarity, devotion & perseverance which ppl in Aksu used to turn desert into oasis.
7 local leaders were changed over the 30 yrs, but afforestation has never been abolished #COP26
