The reckoning of justice seems all the more necessary and imminent for Adrian Zenz after a report released Friday once again fully exposed the nasty face of this puppet of anti-China forces.
The report, Slanderer Adrian Zenz s Xinjiang-related Fallacies Versus the Truth, busts 17 Xinjiang-related fallacies fabricated and peddled by Adrian Zenz.
Zenz, who has not been to China s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region over the years, has churned out multiple ill-grounded, sensational accusations against the region.
Friday s report uses facts, data as well as true stories told by Xinjiang residents and the first-hand experiences of foreign diplomats who visited the region to expose the lies including forced labor, forced sterilization of Uygur women and religious repression in Xinjiang.
The claim made by Adrian Zenz, a so-called German scholar, that 1 million Uygurs were held in internment camps in China s Xinjiang has no factual basis, according to a report released by the Xinjiang Development Research Center on Friday.
The report, titled Slanderer Adrian Zenz s Xinjiang-related Fallacies Versus the Truth, says, The Grayzone, an independent news website, said in an article published in December 2019 that the claim about 1 million Uygurs being held in internment camps was first proposed and then spread by the website of the Chinese Human Rights Defenders (CHRD), a Washington D.C.-based non-governmental organization supported by the U.S. government, and the CHRD made the estimate by interviewing only eight Uygurs and rough estimation.
