The Australian Strategic Policy Institute had released a report on Thursday which estimated that about 16,000 mosques in Xinjiang have been destroyed or damaged as a result of government policies, mostly since 2017. “The Chinese government has embarked on a systematic and intentional campaign to rewrite the cultural heritage of the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region... in order to render those indigenous cultural traditions subservient to the ‘Chinese nation’,” said the ASPI report.

In response to the report, China’s foreign ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin called it “nothing but slanderous rumors” during a press conference on Friday, and said the ASPI had received foreign funds to “support its concoction of lies against China.”

A piriaha state, why is the UN not holding this country for destruction of Tibet? What has UN done about this?

Sorry but they took Hagia Sophia, so something should be sacrificed instead.

Satellites don’t lie.

Chinese is not as this stupid

Old and dilapidated mosques that did not have amenities like water and electricity were demolished. New and bigger mosques were built in better locations. Western media only showed the demolished mosques but refused to show the new mosques not very far away.

Why UN UNHumanRights is silent. Why not an investigation? So much allegations against one country, still no action. Its a kind of bowing down?

I call all Muslims to boycott all chinese products around the world. Wake up people, this has been going on for a long time, not just with this news.

The researchers have been conducting lots of their research lately by analyzing satellite images. And they all sound very serious.

Routers reporters don't want to be expelled from China, so from time to time they release propaganda pieces for the CCP... Or they could already been bought or brainwashed.

professional liar ...

Why do US think that there are concentration camps in Xinjiang, because this is the most serious racial discrimination country in the US, so it is difficult for them to understand why China is so inclusive. They may also imagine that China will collect people's scalp like the US.

real-time genocide denial in the replies here

Come on Reuters. You really have people who know a political scam when they see one.

No one is actually proving that there's concentration camps. Only people now living under the U.S.' roof.

Go be Muslims somewhere else.
