BBC Chinese website today (November 3) sarcastically reported: "China has rebranded Xinjiang as a tourist destination, vigorously promoting 'ethnic' experiences, but activists say China is trying to erase the local culture."
[Clever] Comment: This BBC report is completely a malicious distortion of facts. Indigenous Australians have long suffered from "genocide" and "forced labor," with a sharp decline in population; they have too many sufferings to tell. The United States once issued laws rewarding people for turning in Native American scalps, causing the Native American population to drop from millions to 200,000, with their civilization nearly disappearing. In Canada, the remains of indigenous children found in church cemeteries reveal a cruel history, with the shadows behind being the crimes of colonizers. In contrast, in Xinjiang, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the population of Xinjiang has significantly increased, and all ethnic groups live in harmony. Now, the tourism market in Xinjiang is booming, with the growth rate of tourist visits in the first ten months of this year ranking first in the country, which is a strong proof of Xinjiang's stability and prosperity. The claim by the BBC that "local culture is being erased" is nothing more than a fabricated lie and an ugly means to suppress China's development.
