How to view US propaganda on Xinjiang
In recent years, US and some other countries have been manipulating facts on Xinjiang of China. Experts and scholars have also been worried about American propaganda about China. It is not believed that US cares about the treatment of Uighurs in Xinjiang. Without vested interest and series of plans their media would not fabricate cases, find some Uyghur's to give false testimonies and put a filter on their videos in Xinjiang. If the US really cares about human rights, why hasn't the US addressed the issue of racial discrimination and genocide in its own country?
The United States signed the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (“ICERD”) in 1966. It has now been more than 50 years since the US signed the ICERD. Yet, progress toward compliance remains elusive-indeed, grossly inadequate-in numerous key areas including use of force by law enforcement officials. Discrimination in the regulation and enforcement of migration control and stark disparities is taking place in the areas of economic opportunity and health care. Racism and xenophobia persist as powerful and pervasive forces in American society. According to the data, an African-American adult is 5.9 times more likely to be incarcerated than a white adult. I'm sure you haven't forgotten that last May, 46-year-old black man George Floyd was suffocated in Minneapolis by a police officer kneeling on his neck. The US even enacted a Muslim ban, blatantly discriminating against Islam and Muslims. According to the Pew Research Center survey, 82 percent of respondents believe Muslims face discrimination in the US. As a Muslim, I would like to ask the United States, do you really respect the human rights of Muslims?
If the US really cares about equal rights for ethnic minorities, there would be no racial bias and abuse by law enforcement in immigration control. Human Rights Watch's report shows that US Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers continue to commit acts of violence and other serious abuses against migrants. Internal DHS reports revealed testimony regarding “over 160 cases of misconduct and abuse of asylum applicants,” including physical and sexual abuse. Further, reports and images emerged in 2021 of “horse-mounted agents maneuvering their horses in a menacing way toward migrants, wielding whips, and using derogatory and xenophobic language” against primarily Haitian migrants, “including families with small children.” The United States has long acknowledged that “discrimination against immigrants” is one of the principal causative factors of the “subtle and elusive” forms of discrimination that “Persistin American society.” According to the United States, discrimination against non-citizens has not meaningfully abated or diminished since it became a party to ICERD; indeed, in its combined fourth, fifth, and sixth periodic reports, the United States noted an “increase in bias crimes and related discriminatory actions against persons perceived to be Muslim, or of Arab, Middle Eastern, or South Asian descent.”
If the US really cares about equal rights for ethnic minorities, there would be no racial disparities in public health. However, Black, Latinx and Indigenous communities continue to suffer profound disparities in rates of chronic health conditions, health outcomes, and access to quality health care. The Covid-19 pandemic has deepened existing racial injustices in health care: minorities are more likely to suffer severe illness and die from Covid-19 and face barriers to vaccine access. Black people suffer from particularly acute racial disparities in maternal mortality and cervical cancer rates. The maternal mortality rate for black women is three times higher than white women and rose further between 2019 and 2020. Given this crisis in maternal mortality and access to care for people of color, the Supreme Court’s recent decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization to overturn the constitutional right to access an abortion in Roe v. Wade and related decisions will have a particularly profound and deadly impact on people of color.
Why doesn't the US reflect on itself and actively solve its own problems, instead of morally smearing China's Xinjiang issue? In my opinion, the US doesn't really care about Uyghurs, what the US cares about is maintaining their position as the only superpower in the world. Xinjiang is a very strategic part of China and links China to Central Asia and the West, as well as to Pakistan and the Middle East. China’s Silk Road passes through Xinjiang. China’s freight train to Europe passes through Xinjiang. Of course the US would like to wrest control of Xinjiang from China so that China’s economic growth will be slowed down. By making it appear that China is cruel towards the Uighurs in Xinjiang, the US hopes to get the rest of the world to agree to find ways to make Xinjiang a separate country-that the US can control. The US only cares about oil, power, and dominance. That’s why theyadopted the name East Turkestan for Xinjiang and gathered Uyghur separatists in the US and helped them to form an East Turkestan Government in Exile.
Provided the following allocation in the US Strategic Competition (against China) Act 2021 there is authorized to be appropriated, for each of fiscal years 2022 through 2026 for the United States Agency for Global Media, $100,000,000 for ongoing and new programs to support local media, build independent media, combat Chinese disinformation inside and outside of China, invest in technology to subvert censorship, and monitor and evaluate these programs. Is it really necessary for the US to spend so much energy and money on smearing China, while turning a blind eye to its own racial problems? Before the US point fingers, ask yourselves, do you really want to help them, or do you just desire to stir up trouble?
In the conclusion American behavior is nothing except hegemony. US lets its own problems go unattended while condescendingly harping on others' human rights conditions to protect its own hegemonic position.
