Western gov't & media say Islam is banned in China, and minorities' languages like #Uyghur's r erased.

This lie can be easily debunked if you simply visit a mosque in China.

🧡I visited, found publications in Uyghur, Kazak, Arabic ...
This is China Muslim magazine in Uyghur πŸ‘‡ Image
Different editions of the Koran are available in mosques in China.

On the left is a version in both Mandarin and Arabic and on the right is the version in Arabic with annotation.
This is a local newspaper in Kazak which is available in this mosque in Xinjiang's Tacheng city.
There's a large population of Kazakh ethnic groups living in this city.
This city shares a border with Kazakhstan. Image

How does the CIA orchestrate color revolutions?

China released an investigation report that disclosed important details of the weapons the CIA used for cyberattacks & details of specific cybersecurity cases taking place in China & other countries.

Worth a read. 🧡 Image
For example:
CIA divulged users' secrets through smart TVs with their attack toolkit, Weeping Angel, developed by the Embedded Devices Branch.
The toolkit can make TVs "pretend" to be switched off but in fact, they are still overhearing.
China's technical team obtained a sample of an info interception tool that is exclusively used by NSA, indicating that the CIA & NSA may jointly attack the same target, share attack weapons with each other, or provide technological or personnel assistance to each other.

A thread 🧡on the so-called "debt-trap diplomacy."

@HusseinAskary found the accusation is inaccurate, & deliberately made to undermine the Belt and Road Initiative.
China's loans are not only small in those countries' foreign debts, and are also being used to boost productivity.
2. Two things ppl tend to misunderstand.

a). The percentage of debts.
From China is 10%, from international financial institutions is 40-60%.
b). How are the loans being used.
Loans from China are used on infrastructures that improve the country's ability to pay back.
3. A study by professors from Columbia University and the University of Oxford resonates with this founding.

"What keeps African leaders awake at night is not Chinese debt traps. It is the whims of the bond market," the study says.

SCMP's report on this.πŸ‘‡

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
