Twitter has locked the official account of the Chinese embassy in the United States over a tweet that activists say dehumanizes Uyghur women and promotes the Beijing regime’s propaganda to justify its persecution of Uyghur Muslims.
The tweet, which cited an article published by Chinese state-run media China Daily, said that Uyghur women had been “emancipated” by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) as part of its “process of eradicating extremism.” The tweet, posted on Jan. 7, further claimed that these women were no longer “baby-making machines.”
