Beijing Olympics committee declines answering questions on Taiwan and Uighur treatment

The Beijing Olympics are a painful reminder to Uyghurs about the brutal repression in Xinjiang. China's policies amount to a genocide of Turkic Muslims. It's appalling that Uyghur rights weren't more prominent under the global spotlight of the Games.
Nations with an anti-China agenda have consistently concocted misinformation about what's really happening in Xinjiang. The PRC's policies combat violent terrorism and radicalization. In fact, Beijing's efforts enjoy broad support from ethnic groups throughout the region.
The US government's genocide accusation against China, made during Trump's last day in office, originates from a single source: a paper by a German right-wing religious extremist, Adrian Zenz, affiliated with shady neoconservative think tanks. A careful review of Zenz's so-called evidence hass revealed flagrant data abuse and outright fabrications.
