This tweet from China Daily is crazy, but what’s even crazier is that it was retweeted by the Chinese Embassy in the U.S., an official Chinese government account. Maybe you’ve heard about China putting the Uygurs in concentration camps, which the Chinese officially call Vocational Education and Training Centers. But while we in the West make them sound bad, the women in those training centers have their minds emancipated and exposed to ideas like gender equality, making them more confident and independent, according to a study.
Study shows that in the process of eradicating extremism, the minds of Uygur women in Xinjiang were emancipated and gender equality and reproductive health were promoted, making them no longer baby-making machines. They are more confident and independent. https://t.co/lykDhByEiL

Truly amazing tweet. Tweet of the century. Basically admitting to The Thing They Were Doing and using gender equality as a justification.

This reads like what a Nazi tweet in 1938 would have looked like. https://t.co/bWW2d2uCuQ

Twitter has banned @realDonaldTrump yet allows this communist propaganda. We are upside down.

Where have we heard this before? “Imposing measures intended to prevent births within” a “national, ethnic, radial, or religious group.” The definition of genocide in Art. II(d) of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. https://t.co/eqa4SJjxyw

We made them no longer baby making machines by removing their ability to make babies. Now they are simply machines ready to work for the CCP

“Reproductive health” is a strange way of spelling “forced sterilisation”

Amazing the benefits that can be achieved when you arrest a population on no charge and have them work as slaves in factories.

"As a result, the birthrate in Xinjiang decreased from 1.6 percent in 2017 to 1 percent in 2018 and the natural population growth rate fell from 1.1 percent to 0.6 percent."
Unprecedented collapse in birthrates and a near halving of population growth in a year, totally normal.

Wow… i mean on a scale of 1 to 10 in terms of propaganda, this is about a WTF rating.
Claiming forced sterilization in a positive light like this is some next level nonsense.— Floplag (@floplag) January 7, 2021
So this study showed that forced sterilization of minority women made them better? How… um… there's a word for this, but I can't seem to recall it. "R" something, I think.

Am I losing my mind or is a country’s official government account tweeting about the jolly perks of locking humans in concentration camps and the lovely mental health benefits of forced sterilization?

If they are independent and choose to have a baby, can they? If they are independent, are they free to move about the country and choose a life they want?

China has its own brand of freedom … just ask the New York Times.
My god, this is so dystopian, but I don’t want to tell you how to do your authoritarian dictatorship.

That is one hell of a spin on the forced sterilisation, slave labour and genocide that is happening, the earth literally changed its orbit.
