The Chinese government is committing “demographic genocide” against Uighur Muslims through forced abortions, birth control, mass detentions, and imprisonment, an investigation by the Associated Press found.
The AP investigation, based on interviews with 30 former detainees, family members, a former detention camp instructor, government statistics and state documents, found that the Chinese government seeks to dramatically lower the birthrates of Uighurs and other minorities while encouraging other populations to produce more children.
Han Chinese are not usually subjected to the forced abortions, sterilizations, IUD insertions and detentions, the AP reported.
The publication found that the Chinese government has created a “climate of terror around having children, as seen in interview after interview.” Between 2015 and 2018 (the latest years for government statistics), birthrates in the mostly Uighur regions of Hotan and Kashgar have plummeted by over 60%, while in Xinjiang, birth rates fell almost 24% in the last year alone.
These statistics compare to the 4.2% decline in birthrates across China, the publication reports.
In the past, Chinese officials have said that the birth control measures are meant to even the number of children birthed by Han Chinese and ethnic minorities. A Chinese ministry spokesman told the Associated Press Monday that the publication’s story was “fabricated” and “fake news,” adding that the Chinese government does not discriminate against minorities or ethnicities.
“Everyone, regardless of whether they’re an ethnic minority or Han Chinese, must follow and act in accordance with the law,” ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian told the AP.

Am I over the edge here? Why do I suspect that the news about the Uigyrs (who are Muslims) is going to make lefties want to bring them all here for safe-keeping??
those very same people one day
will charge racism and genocide because the country allowed planned parenthood and other abortionists to operate and kill so many minority babies
even though no one forces anyone to walk through a pp door
How nice. AP has “investigated” something that has been well known for several years. Way to go Media.
This is really no different than the early Nazi actions against the Jews before the mass killings began. It is sickening to know that Democrats will not stand with Trump against China, that the Pope signed his bizarre agreement with the Chinese communists knowing full well that these persecutions were occurring, and that Muslim nations won’t even raise the issue in UN forums. Hypocrisy runs rampant.
China’s ‘7 deadly sins’ don’t even include how they treat their own people or their neighbors. I guess if they made a list of everything wrong with China then the list becomes too long.
cyber attacks
forced technology transfer
intellectual property theft
product dumping
subsidized state-owned enterprises
currency manipulation
selling fentanyl to the U.S.
Sorry, how the chinese treat their potential inbred domestic terrorist wannabes really isn’t on my list of things to worry about.
Coming to an America near you
This is what progressives want to do the world over. Except their target is whites.
The MSM likely consider it racist to even suggest that the Chinese are committing genocide against an ethnic minority. Everyone knows only white people can commit genocide
Yet we do nothing...talk talk talk talk.
I'm 90% sure it is fake news...
But the Democrats like that Chinese money!
They’re doing to Uighurs what Democrats, Planned Parenthood and the justice system is doing to blacks in the U.S. Trump’s recent reforms looking pretty good by comparison.
Gee, why doesn’t Saudi, Qatar, Iran, UAE, et al take their “brothers and sisters’ in as “refugees”?
“It emerged recently and is carried by pigs, but can infect humans, they say.”
Dang...there goes the rest of the bacon in store freezers. Glad I stocked up.
They’ll (China and the lackeys in US) be doing the same in the US and the idiots vote their enemies into power.
That’s not a priority on the list of American concerns and will be forgotten in a few seconds. Scolding the Chinese government is alright, though.
So much for that compassionate, Christian bull shit, eh?.......LOL! Another hypocrite......
