Xinjiang records sharp drop in birth rate amid growing focus on Uyghur genocide ANI | Updated: Mar 01, 2021 14:03 IST
Hong Kong, March 1 (ANI): Amid growing criticism over human right abuses by the Beijing, population statistics published by the Chinese government shows a significant drop in birth rates in Xinjiang province.
The figures, which run up until 2019, cited by Hong Kong Free Press (HKFP), show a decrease in birth rate by around two-thirds within two years.
The sudden decline in birth rate comes in the backdrop of increasing pressure on Beijing over reports of mass internment and coerced population control of the Uyghur population in Xinjiang.
