For example, the so-called report Records of the Detention System in Xinjiang published by Australia Strategic Policy Institution claims that based on satellite map, Xinjiang has added many “detention equipment” and is still expanding “concentration camps”. However, we made a comparison of the locations with Baidu and Google Maps with those in the “report” and found that many of the so-called “concentration camps” are civil institutions in the locality. To name just a few, the so-called “detention center” of Turpan is in fact an office building of local administrative agency; the so-called “detention center” at 38.836°N，77.7056°E is the seniors nursery at Maigaiti County, Kashgar Prefecture; the so-called “detention center” at 39.8252°N，78.5501°E is the logistics park of Bachu County, Kashgar Prefecture; the so-called “detention center” at 38.995°N，77.6682°E is in reality the Middle School of Maigaiti County, Kashgar Prefecture, Xinjiang.
For example, the so-called documentaries Collection of Blood and Voice and Facial Recognition in Tracing Uygurs and Gene Monitoring presumes the region-wide free health examination project as “collecting citizens’ biological information including DNA and carrying out large-scale gene monitoring”. According to investigation, the people’s government of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region put into place the project of free health examination for all the people in Xinjiang since 2016 with the aim to improve people’s health. The free examination is carried out by local medical institutions annually for all the people in Xinjiang. During the examination, there are no such things as collecting biological information such as DNA. So far, Xinjiang has allocated 5.324 billion yuan in comprehensive health examination in total. Through regular free examination, early prevention, discovery, diagnosis and treatment of diseases have been realized. As beneficiaries of this practice, people would rush to medical institutions when the annual health examination begins. Tu’erxun Talipu, villager of Mixia Township, Shache County, Kashgar, told us that his high blood pressure and diabetes were tested from free health examination. Since he was diagnosed and treated in time, the chronic diseases are under effective control.
For example, documentary New Video Revealing: Uygurs Onboard Bus crossing China Forced to Work in Factories presents video clips about Uygurs transported to factories in Qingdao, Fuzhou, Guangzhou,etc. and presumes the people of ethnic minority going out to work as “Uygurs and other ethnic minorities forced to work in inland provinces by Xinjiang government”; the book China’s Manufacturing: Prisoners, Emergency Rescue Services and Invisible Cost of American Cheap Products fabricates statements like “Uygurs and other ethnic minorities are being persecuted and are ‘forced to work’ to produce cheap products”. As it’s known to the public, the four prefectures in southern Xinjiang are located in places of fragile ecological environment with frequent natural disasters and large and abject poverty and are designated as one of the extreme poverty stricken areas by the country. In order to help local people of all ethnic minorities to shake off poverty, governments at all levels of Xinjiang adopted measures such as local employment, cross-prefecture employment within Xinjiang and transferring employment into counterpart aiding provinces and cities. All these measures are adopted to maximize local people’s employment rights, increase their incomes and lift them out of poverty and live a prosperous life. Since 2018, Xinjiang has transferred 151,000 surplus working force of poverty stricken families in southern Xinjiang. Among them, 114,700 were transferred to work in counterpart aiding provinces and cities by recommendation of their fellow villager, assistance of relatives and matched positions by human resources market. They mainly work in shoes and clothes manufacturing, electronic products manufacturing industries and can make as much as 45,000 yuan per year, much higher than their income earned from doing farming work. All the workers have shaken off poverty. Paxiaguli Keremu from a poverty stricken household in Biao’ertuokuoyi Township, Wuqia County, Kizilsu Kirghiz Autonomous Prefecture is a representative of migrant workers, who is working in Dongguan, Guangdong and can make 45,000 yuan a year. Under her influence, more than 500 villagers from Kizilsu Kirghiz Autonomous Prefecture went to Guangdong for employment. Paxiaguli was also awarded National Award for Poverty Alleviation in 2018, May 1 Labor Medal in 2019 and the National Most Beautiful Worker on Nov.24, 2020. In September, 2020, the Information Office of State Council issued the White Paper on Employment and Labor Rights in Xinjiang in which comprehensive and systematic elaboration of the basic employment situation, employment policies, guarantee of the workers basic rights and the remarkable achievements in Xinjiang are made. The fallacy of so-called “forced labor” was rebutted with detailed data.
