From record numbers of visitors to Xinjiang's regional capital in 2023 to Wang Wenbin's exhortations for "more friends from all countries to visit Xinjiang," Chinese state media cannot get enough of tourism.

The problem is that crimes against humanity targeted at Uyghurs and other Turkic people are ongoing. Another problem is that international travel companies, including those from Europe, are complicit in the cleansing of atrocities that multiple entities have labeled a genocide.

You don't explain anything at all, let alone back it up with reputable sources.

Just some statements that could come out of the mouth of any American or German spokesperson during a ZDF interview.

And that's exactly what I meant; With my assessment I don't want to fall for any propaganda lies from an "ally" who just sees his hegemonic position at risk.
