The Chinese Regime’s Efforts to Deny and Cover up the Uyghur Genocide

Summary:

Professor Magnus Fiskesjö discussed the Chinese regime’s efforts to cover up the Uyghur genocide, highlighting the premeditated and systematic nature of the atrocities committed against Uyghurs and other Turkic peoples. He explained how China initially denied the existence of detention camps, later framing them as vocational training centers. The regime’s dual propaganda strategy, targeted at both domestic and international audiences, was exposed by satellite imagery and refugee accounts. Fiskesjö compared this approach to Nazi Germany’s propaganda and emphasized the importance of countering Chinese disinformation through various means, including engaging celebrities and reaching Chinese domestic audiences. He stressed the need to continue exposing the regime’s lies and providing the true narrative of its actions against the Uyghurs.
