The Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Regions’ Information Office gave a press conference in Beijing on the results of their investigation of the so-called hard evidence in the three databases used to justify the charges of “genocide and crimes against humanity.” The three are: the Uygur Transitional Justice Database (UTJD), funded by the US’s National Endowment for Democracy; the Xinjiang Data Project, created by Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI), which is funded by US government; and the Xinjiang Victims Database, created by the US- and Australia-funded “East Turkistan Islamic Movement.”
The spokesperson of the Information Office, Xu Guixiang, said that they compared the so-called data with official records, family members of named individuals, and other public data: “These databases involve 12,050 people; we have verified the accounts of 10,708 people in total so far and 1,342 are completely fake. 6,962 are living normal lives, 3,244 have been charged with terrorist acts and other criminal offenses, 238 have died of illnesses and 264 are living overseas. The criminal offenses include rape, murder, drug trafficking, robbery and prostitution. Also, the so-called 380 “geopolitical information datapoints” unveiled by those databases about “detention facilities” were examined and 343 were found to be obviously schools, administrative institutions, hospitals, residential areas, shops and the like.
