Before we go into the fake “proof” that the West is using against China to accuse China of genocide against the Uyghurs, let us first understand the reasons for the accusations.
In 2006, the US military came up with findings as follows:
The US Quadrennial Defense Review of 2006 stated that China has "the greatest potential of any nation to militarily compete with the US and field disruptive military technologies that over time offset traditional US advantages".

Following the above, the US started formulating a containment strategy against China. Obama tried to use the TPP to put China at a disadvantage in trade with TPP member countries. Then Trump put aside the TPP and started the trade war against China.
At the same time that those containment activities were being planned and implemented, Xinjiang was facing attacks from a terrorist organization called Eastern Turkestan Islamic Movement (ETIM). Thousands of people, including Uyghurs, were killed or maimed by the ETIM terrorists. Until today, ETIM is classified as a terrorist organization by the United Nations.
Then, just a few years ago, China sent its troops into Xinjiang to fight against the ETIM terrorists. Many were captured. Some escaped and mostly went to Turkey and the US, seeking refugee status, claiming to be freedom fighters for the “oppressed Uyghurs” in Xinjiang. A few went to Indonesia, trying to join another terrorist group there, but were caught by the Indonesian authorities and jailed, or sent back to China to face the law.
To ensure that the ETIM terrorists don’t return, China placed a tight security system in Xinjiang, including thousands of surveillance cameras and many roadblocks.
Strangely enough, the US accused China of implementing the surveillance system in order to spy on the Uyghurs in general (not on ETIM), and sanctioned the companies that put the cameras in place. It seems to me that the purpose of these sanctions is to ensure that the surveillance system will fail over a period of time, since the sanctions mean they cannot be replace with new ones when they fail.
Then the US did another strange thing: they removed ETIM from their list of terrorist organizations.
Think about that for a moment: The US blocked maintenance to the surveillance system and removed ETIM from their list of terrorist organizations. Is the US trying to send ETIM back into Xinjiang to cause new disturbances there? Or perhaps support the ETIM terrorists who the US will call “freedom fighters” who want to “liberate Xinjiang” from “China’s oppression”?
It turns out that there is evidence for the above.
Col Lawrence Wilkerson admits to US involvement in fomenting civil unrest in Xinjiang China using Uighurs. The CIA wanted to destabilize China, and intelligence strategists had decided that the best way to do it would be to foment unrest among Uyghurs in Xinjiang to create pressure on Beijing.

So the ETIM attacks were supported by the US after all?
Anyway, if the US were to support a return of ETIM to Xinjiang, then the US needs other countries to agree with it. And one way to do it is to badmouth China as much as possible, until other countries believe that China is oppressing the Uyghurs, and that is where the accusation of genocide and oppression comes in.
There are three reasons why the US wants to control Xinjiang as part of its containment policy towards China.
Firstly, Xinjiang is China’s door to the West. China’s new silk road passes through Xinjiang. If China is no longer in control of Xinjiang, then China’s trade with Central Asia, West Asia and Europe will be badly affected.
Secondly, if China has no control over Xinjiang, then China can no longer get oil from Saudi Arabia and Iran to be brought by land through Pakistan and Xinjiang, to the rest of China. It will have to use the sea route through the Straits of Malacca and the South China Sea to Shanghai. Not only is the distance longer but it is also open to attack from enemies in the case of war.
Thirdly, the Junggar Basin in northern Xinjiang has 8.68 billion tons of oil and 2.5 trillion cubic meters of gas. That’s a significant amount of oil. If Xinjiang is controlled by the US either directly or indirectly, China will not only have difficulty getting oil from the Middle East but will also not be able to extract oil from Xinjiang. Without oil, China’s economy will certainly suffer.
The US is in control of Afghanistan and can send ETIM forces into Xinjiang from Afghanistan.
Now, let us look at their ”proof” of genocide in Xinjiang.
In order to prove genocide, there must be proof of “intent to destroy”. And the proof that the US uses is what New York Times printed a couple of years ago - President Xi, in a speech, said to “arrest those who should be arrested” and “show no mercy”. And the US claim that these statements refer to the Uyghurs in general (not ETIM), thereby meeting the requirement for “intent to destroy”.
This is a lie. Xi’s statement was meant for the ETIM terrorists, not the Uyghurs in general. Anyone who can read Chinese (the original documents were in Chinese) would be able to confirm this.
Secondly, the US used the big drop in Uyghur birth rate as proof of genocide. So let us look at what caused this:
When China imposed the One Child Policy, it was imposed only on the Han Chinese. It did not apply to minority tribes, such as the Uyghur. So the Uyghurs and other minority tribes could continue to have many children.
For the Han Chinese, this measure was part of the fourth definition of genocide, except that it was not intended with “intend to destroy”, so it was not genocide.
The liars in the West try to use Xi’s statements about “arrest them” and “no mercy” to justify calling it an intent to destroy, but anyone who can read Chinese will confirm that those statements were meant for the ETIM terrorists who killed and maimed thousands of people in Xinjiang, including Hans, Uyghurs and other tribes. It was not at all addressed to the general population of Xinjiang, including Uyghurs. Besides, the one child policy was applied to the Han Chinese, not Uyghurs.
Then, many years later, China relaxed the ruling for the Han Chinese by allowing them to have two children. Meanwhile, the Uyghurs could continue to have more children.
Then, in 2017, the Two Child Policy was extended to everyone in China, including the minority tribes, which means including the Uyghurs. With this, China is further away from genocide towards the Han, since the law now applies to everyone.
So now, the Uyghurs (and other minority tribes), mostly with many more children than two, must stop having children in order to comply with the new ruling. Many of them would have started on contraceptives for the first time.
And since most Uyghurs stopped having new babies, the birth rate for Xinjiang dropped significantly.
So what does the West do? They have just found another chance to lie about China. “The big drop in birth rate means Genocide in Xinjiang!”
And that is how the fake accusation of genocide came about.
