            Because, according to the spokesperson, they have only now properly implemented their family planning law in Xinjiang (because perhaps they were being lenient previously), whereas other locations already had it implemented.

                Xinjiang's birthrate of 10.69% is literally higher than a number of places in China according to the 2019 data you gave. It's literally higher than Beijing (8.24%) and only slightly lower than the national average. It seems like this statistic alone pretty much disproves the concept that there's something unusual happening. It resulted in a greater decline because the birthrate in Xinjiang was higher than in other places before policy implementation in those places ie they were being very lenient in Xinjiang (probably to help the Uighur population increase more). I'm not sure how you could look at your own data and conclude that Xinjiang is being singled out somehow. The data shows that after implementing family planning in Xinjiang, birthrate decreased to the same as most other places. People can do endless fiddling with data to make any narrative you want of course, this is something American propaganda is great at doing.

                    Because the 14%-15% is higher than elsewhere in China. 15% is a higher birthrate than half the provinces listed in the 2018 data so its obvious that it would decrease more to get to 10% than somewhere else. The quotes from the China spokesperson I gave literally explain that entirely. They implemented family planning in Xinjiang which was already implemented elsewhere. I'm not sure why you're so obsessed with "national birthrate decline average versus Xinjiang birthrate decline", that's a very cherrypicked statistic.
