@MaxBlumenthal, I think you might be interested in this really well put together thread which further illustrates what you previously uncovered in terms of how all the moving parts fit together within the West's disinformation campaign on Xinjiang. https://twitter.com/Ethan_Parallels/status/1151153694517260288
The second tweet in this next thread is epic.
"Sometimes the guy on here who calls you a tankie gets paid to by a tank manufacturer."

I learnt something new from the third tweet in this next thread. While I knew about religious freedoms/protections in China, I didn't know about the online social media ban against anti-Islamic content online which is explicitly written out as policy now. https://twitter.com/LassPeaches/status/1184633554661081088?s=19
Arslan's Xinjiang propaganda pops up a lot as well. This thread tears apart some of his more popular tweets one by one. https://twitter.com/j_bigboote/status/1182726991675625472?s=19
Another "reliable" source of information on the 1 million plus detained number you always see floating around out there.

This thread is full of some great statistics in regards to Xinjiang. https://twitter.com/izak_novak/status/1069961917316427779?s=19
This is another important statistic to keep in mind when forming an opinion on the topic of Xinjiang https://twitter.com/LassPeaches/status/1187034792560226306?s=19
In case you're wondering about the inclusion of Uighur culture and language in the school system. https://twitter.com/evazhengll/status/1181031454278668288?s=19
Including the local dialects of Han Chinese into the school system is not something I've ever heard of in other parts of China like with how you see within Xinjiang schools. https://twitter.com/evazhengll/status/1180913399955410945?s=19
This is an interesting bit of information in terms of better understanding how culturally diverse Xinjiang actually was, and for how long. https://twitter.com/CarlZha/status/1191142249926512640?s=19
Yet the foundation for the rebranding being pushed by various foreign countries and organization was born from something coming far later than the observed cultural diversity in my last tweet. Thread: https://twitter.com/CarlZha/status/1191577219463663616?s=19
There are genuine threats & issues w/radicalization that do need to be addressed. It's interesting to see America trying to convince you that China is addressing terrorism with something far worse than education while we know what the US did in Guantanamo

Pay attention to how the west talks about how many countries disagree with China's handling of the terrorism issue while never telling you MORE countries actually agree with China, particularly Muslim countries who have a better understanding of the issues https://twitter.com/globaltimesnews/status/1189703541201547264?s=19
Another really great thread I just had to include here. It's filled with a lot of information on ethnic minority related policies in China & data showing how those policies have manifested itself in terms of successes. https://twitter.com/isgoodrum/status/1004884261051092993?s=19
