Incontrovertible Evidence: Xi Jinping Is Behind the “Final Solution” for Uyghurs

The evidence just keeps piling up that Xi Jinping is behind the entire policy of the ethnic cleansing/genocide of the Uyghur people.

Leaked documents put the finishing touches to the intent behind Xinjiang’s genocide.

A vast cache of internal memos, top secret CCP documents and high level Chinese government speeches leaked to the Uyghur Tribunal has become the final piece in the jigsaw proving that all major decisions concerning the atrocities towards Xinjiang’s Turkic minorities can be traced back to Xi Jinping.

Originally leaked in 2019 to the New York Times, the so-called Xinjiang Papers have been leaked in turn to the Tribunal and provide vital evidence of intent over whether a genocide is underway against Turkic minorities in the region.

The NYT denies responsibility for the leak, but the cache of 317 pages containing private correspondence, Xi Jinping’s personal opinions, and speeches only intended for high level discussion, has been authenticated by Dr Adrian Zenz of the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, and peer-reviewed by academics and Xinjiang experts David Tobin and James Millard who are convinced they are genuine.

Following evidence given to the Tribunal in September by Dr Zenz who laid out his findings portraying Xi Jinping as the architect of the atrocities in Xinjiang, the recent find of leaked documents have reinforced his conclusions irrefutably linking the President with the abuses.

The crux of the case stems from top secret speeches made by Xi Jinping in 2014, laying out his six-pronged plan to subdue Uyghurs. Mass internment, labour transfer, criminalization of religious practice, forcibly introducing cadres into Uyghur domestic family life, phasing out of the Uyghur language and the introduction of predictive policing and mass surveillance formed the bedrock of Xi’s master plan.

Party officials were urged to act vigorously on the ideological principles behind the speeches and implement policies to address deep seated problems within Uyghur society. According to an analysis of the papers by the NYT, they were urged to “unleash the tools of ‘dictatorship’ to eradicate radical Islam in Xinjiang.”

Three terrorist incidents carried out by Uyghurs, two of which happened in Urumqi around the time of Xi’s first and only visit to the region and the other at Kunming railway station seemed to be the catalyst for a no holes barred assault on the entire Muslim population of the province.

Not content to simply punish the perpetrators, according to the leaked documents, all Turkic peoples were to be tarred with the same brush and targets of the hard line course he was about to take. Letting rip in private, he launched streams of invective saying, “We must be as harsh as them,” adding, “and show absolutely no mercy,” as the seeds took root for an all out people’s war in the region.

He decried the “primitive” weapons of his counter-terrorism police, complaining that “None of these weapons is any answer for their big machete blades, ax heads and cold steel weapons.”

Packing his speeches with medical metaphors, Xi described the “poison” that had permeated the people. They had a “heart sickness” that could only be “cured” by heart medicine. Re-education was designed to prevent those who had been “infected by the virus” from becoming violent and would increase the immunity of susceptible groups. With support, their thinking would be corrected and the sickness removed. Urging tighter controls on religion and lamenting that some had “let down their guard” he told officials to smarten up their act and be vigilant over security lapses, “sloppy investigations” and malfunctions in surveillance equipment.

As far back as 2014 the leaked papers show that Xi had already ordered “those who should be seized, to be seized,” and “those who should be rounded up, to be rounded up.” This command was parroted word for word by Chen Quanguo, the new governor of Xinjiang in 2016, when he ordered in that same year that everyone “who should be rounded up, should be rounded up.” As Chen took the reins, he repeated the medical metaphors calling the re-education camps “hospitals that offered free medical treatment to heal people”.

According to the NYT, Xi told officials as he was leaving Urumqi on April 30, 2014, “People who are captured by religious extremism — male or female, old or young — have their consciences destroyed, lose their humanity and murder without blinking an eye.” Religious extremism is toxic, he said. “As soon as you believe in it,” he said, “it’s like taking a drug, and you lose your sense, go crazy and will do anything.” Addressing this “evil,” he warned, would require “a period of painful, interventionary treatment.”

With the launch in earnest of the campaign of mass internments, forced sterilization, and egregious human rights abuses in 2016, the Xinjiang Papers make it possible to trace every subsequent policy, speech and order from lesser officials invoked down the line, back to Xi’s private speeches in 2014. Once the the atrocities were underway, who exactly ordered what, and when, and why have become hazy. There had been a deliberate policy to ensure Xi kept his hands clean, and was seen as “benign and kind” according to Dr Tobin. “The lower leadership had to be seen to be doing the dirty work.”

But the recent top secret leaks have made it clear that Xi is behind it all.

Dr Zenz who has followed closely the evolution of CCP thinking vis a vis the Turkic peoples of North West China reported in June this year that there were plans to cut minority births between 2.6-4.5 million over the next 20 years. By 2019 alone, at least 80 per cent of women between the ages of 18-50 had been called for compulsory sterilization or IUD fittings.

Concerned at the imbalance of ethnic groups in the region, 300,000 Han Chinese are to be moved into the region by 2022, and Xi’s policy of Sinicization continues apace with the eradication of Uyghur language, the banning of religious practice in all its forms, and the disappearance of major cultural figures, academics, poets, and writers.

Until the leaked papers, says Dr Zenz, it had been difficult to absolutely prove intent, but latest revelations “speak very considerably” about the author of the policies. “The systematic attack on the Uyghur population has become quite clear,” he said.

Referring to increasing evidence that the indigenous population is becoming an obstacle to advancing Xi’s policies in the region, James Millward noticed that despite no evidence of an intent to kill large numbers of Uyghurs, “there is clear intent to make the problem go away through assimilation.”

The policies “serve the state to empty out, partially destroy and rebuild the ethnic identity,” said Zenz, who concluded that the new evidence has convinced him that Xi is behind them all.
