Twitter deletes China embassy's Xinjiang 'emancipation' tweet
Twitter has deleted a post from China's US embassy which claimed Uighur women had had their minds "emancipated" by their policies in Xinjiang.
The post linked to an article by state-run media which claimed Uighur women were "more confident and independent" as a result of "reproductive health" being "promoted" to them.
In 2020, a report by China scholar Adrian Zenz alleged Uighur and other ethnic minority women were being threatened with internment in camps for refusing to abort pregnancies that exceeded birth quotas. The findings were based on a combination of official regional data, policy documents and interviews with ethnic minority women in Xinjiang.
