I’m not addressing an article from a DC-based psyop?

Let’s address it.

Following the passage of China’s “Ethnic Unity Law” by the National People’s Congress on March 12, 2026, authorities have initiated a new round of cultural destruction targeting Uyghur identity.

Literally against the law. As I posted. Article 5 of the law prohibits this. First line of the article and it’s already trying to create an alternate reality where China passed a law targeting Uyghur identity when it did the exact opposite.

For more than a decade, it has been widely documented that the Chinese government has demolished mosques, shrines, and cultural heritage sites, banned the Uyghur language in education, and removed religious symbols from public spaces across Uyghur, Tibetan, and Mongolian regions.

Again, almost a complete fabrication. China has had autonomous cultural regions for literally centuries, even before the genocidal Europeans came to the region. In those regions, for literally centuries, those ethnic groups indigenous to those regions have not only educated, worshiped, celebrated, farmed, and raised their children in accordance with their culture, it has been ILLEGAL to discriminate against them or prevent them from doing so.

Here’s an article from an actual anthropologist: https://www.culturalsurvival.org/publications/cultural-survival-quarterly/teaching-tibetan-tibet-bilingual-education-survival

This article isn’t trying to combat propaganda, so I’ll have to call out specifically what it says: It says that there are challenges for students who have to learn both languages, which means they are learning the Tibetan language. It says that students can study in the Tibetan language from primary school all the way through university in Tibet.

Similarly, there is no ban on the Uyghur language in schools. Starting in 2014, China began countering the terrorism in Xinjiang which was associated with a separatist movement that combined anti-communism, sinophobia, religious extremism, and extremist nationalism. This included propagandizing children in education. China banned a large number of Uyghur texts that pushed the narrative of East Turkestan separatists and religious extremism. The West decided to call that “banning all instruction in the Uyghur language”.

As for demolitions, I’ve seen numbers as high as 40 mosques “destroyed or altered since 2017”. That’s hardly a program of cultural denial, is it? 40 mosques. Out of 24,000? In the US, at least 1500 churches have completely closed in the last decade. Is that a government program to destroy Christianity?

Starting around March 27, Uyghur Times reviewed multiple videos from Urumqi and Kashgar showing city management workers removing Uyghur-language signs from shops, restaurants, supermarkets, and even private businesses. In many cases, only Chinese-language signage was left behind.

So the propaganda rag isn’t even sending journalists to the area they are studying? They’re watching a few videos, without citing them, where signs are removed. No context for it either? Like, did the restaurant close? Did the private businesses close? Seems like it would be pretty weird for city management workers to do something that is literally against the law (Article 5) and carries actual penalties as described in the law. Who to believe? The report from DC that they saw some videos and therefore it’s a cultural genocide? Or you know, the people actually there, on the ground.

One widely circulated video on the Chinese version of TikTok shows the demolition of Uyghur-style architectural elements at a major transportation hub in Urumqi, known as Uchtash Qatnash Bikiti (also referred to as Sandongbi Transportation Station).

So you mean a major transportation hub is undergoing reconstruction as part of increase public services to the people in the region? Literally anything you demolish or renovate in Xinjiang is going to have cultural elements informed by the Uyghur culture. That’s because it’s a culturally autonomous region that got to define its own architectural style and the CPC has spent nearly its entire existence integrating those cultural choices into their work in the region. If I renovate a house here in the states, I’m going to have to destroy some sheetrock. Does that mean I’ve got a program of cultural erasure of gypsum?

In the footage, a Uyghur man standing in front of the site expresses deep sorrow: “Today we are witnessing the destruction of one of the most iconic cultural landmarks in Urumqi. It held our memories. For many of us, our journeys began here and ended here. Now, it is gone.”

Let’s go to the linked tweet, shall we?

Yes, not only Uyghur signs being removed, anything related Uyghur culture not allowed to exist in China. They are destroying the central bus station representing Uyghur architecture

Really? Nothing related to Uyghur culture is allowed to exist in China? 24000 mosques, Uyghur cultural festivals, Uyghur cuisine, etc? I don’t trust the person writing this tweet any more than I trust the “Uyghur Times” out of DC. Clearly this poster has zero integrity to say something so bald-faced like this in the face of mountains of evidence to the contrary

Other videos show workers dismantling Uyghur-language signage across urban areas. One sign reads “ئۆي مۈلۈكچىلىك، ئىلىم سېتىم,” meaning “Real estate Sales & Transactions.” Another removed sign identifies a construction materials supplier.

Huh! Well I’ll be damned! It must be a cultural genocide! No one removes signs for any other reason. No no. Those 24000 mosques will be removed too. Just you wait!

Observers say the campaign reflects a broader effort to eliminate visible markers of Uyghur cultural and linguistic identity under the framework of the new law.

Again, literally the opposite of what the law says and what the law literally lists as grounds for criminal and civil punishments.

There. Happy now? I had to read that fucking paper thin propaganda so I could look for even an OUNCE of journalist integrity and what I found was a DC-based “journalist” saying that they saw a couple TikToks and that clearly the very detailed and very thorough law that is written to protect the variety of ethnicity in China is ACTUALLY just an elaborate ruse where everyone is totally lying and everyone knows everyone is lying and no one does anything about everyone lying and they’re just going to keep going with their cultural genocide by… rebuilding a bus station and removing a handful of signs from commercial buildings.

Very convincing.

You’re adding nothing as well…?
