Olympic Games & U.S. propaganda: Have you been lied to about Xinjiang, human rights − and China? 奧運會和美國宣傳:關於新疆、人權和中國,你被騙了嗎? by Sara Flounders, Feb 2022

Feb. 6 update — The U.S. war propaganda machine is working overtime during the Olympics to defame China with false accusations of “human rights abuse” against the Turkic-speaking Muslim Uyghurs, based in its Xinjiang Province. As readers evaluate these claims, keep in mind these facts:

1) There is a centuries-long history of racist U.S. crimes — through state force and economic exploitation — against Indigenous, Black, Latinx and Asian and other oppressed peoples, on land now occupied by the U.S. These crimes, which continue to this day, are integral to U.S. tactics of military conquest and economic domination worldwide.

2) U.S. imperialist administrations blatantly lie and raise “false flags” against countries they wish to oppose or capture either militarily or economically, not that long ago with the infamous “weapons of mass destructions” fabricated to justify devastating Iraq, a majority-Muslim country.

3) The U.S. state has used the 911 attack to demonize, arrest and incarcerate Muslim peoples at home and to justify destabilizing, attacking and laying waste to many Muslim-majority countries besides Iraq, including Afghanistan, Sudan, Somalia, Syria, Libya and Yemen, while threatening and sanctioning Iran.

4) U.S. claims related to the Uyghur minority have not been endorsed or supported by the U.N. or any Muslim-majority country.

Worker World urges its readers to carefully study the following fact sheet and use its information to debunk the anti-China propaganda flooding the U.S. during the Olympics.
