Looking at Uyghurs from a Chinese Perspective!

China's atrocities, which have presented East Turkistan as a "tourist paradise," are exploiting every opportunity to deceive and change the perception of the international community, using all means for their false propaganda. In recent months, carefully selected diplomats, journalists, and travelers from various countries, including Turkey, have been invited to organized travel tours in East Turkistan in an attempt to cover up and deny the systematic genocide crime in the region.

According to China's propaganda agency, Xinhua News, the Chinese regime organized a trip to East Turkistan (so-called "Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region") from September 21 to 29, in collaboration with the China Propaganda Department Press Office and the so-called Press Office of East Turkistan. They gathered so-called "journalist trainees" from 17 countries under the guise of the "National Media Leaders Training Course for the Joint Construction of the Silk Road Economic Belt." It has come to light that these individuals were actually "journalists" bought and prepared by China for its propaganda purposes.

According to Chinese news sources, these so-called journalists, including one from Turkey (Aydınlık correspondent), were taken on a tour of central cities such as Urumqi, Kashgar, Gulja, Altay, and others, coming from countries like Belgium, Canada, Germany, Indonesia, Iran, and Kazakhstan.

During the tour, the so-called journalists visited staged locations, especially in Urumqi, and observed the fabricated narratives at the so-called "counter-terrorism" museum that portrayed the innocent civilian population as terrorists.

As is common in such visits, foreign journalists were welcomed by Abduraqib Tömürniyaz, the so-called "Dean of the Xinjiang Islamic Institute" and Deputy President of the so-called China Islamic Association, who had no qualifications other than serving as part of the propaganda effort. During their visit, they met with Communist imams who were supposedly receiving education at the Xinjiang Islamic Institute.

Furthermore, they visited the famous Id Kah Mosque in ancient Kashgar (currently used for tourism purposes). What stood out during the trip was the claim that the so-called journalists were supposedly "interacting with the local population." In reality, the people presented as "locals" were nothing more than members of the Chinese Communist Party and the propaganda team.

Are they Journalists or Chinese Propagandists?

These so-called journalists, who seem to have fallen for China's financial incentives and praise it endlessly, constantly gave interviews to Chinese journalists during the trip, reciting the rehearsed phrases like "economic prosperity, social harmony, development, and stability" in unison.

It is evident that these trips are used as a means to deceive the international community. In fact, the Chinese regime has never wanted direct contact between foreign visitors and the local population. They heavily punish individuals who meet with foreigners or provide information about the situation in the region.

In this context, the Chinese authorities are going to great lengths to deceive and manipulate the foreign press by spreading the lie that they "arranged meetings between journalists and the local population."

However, during the same period, real journalists who have not lost their sense of humanity and whose conscience cannot be bought have gone to the region and exposed China's oppressive policies in East Turkistan. They have clearly stated that there is no freedom in the region.
