China counters Uighur criticism with explicit attacks on women witnesses

China, under growing global pressure over its treatment of minority Muslim Uighurs in far west Xinjiang, is mounting an unprecedented and aggressive campaign to push back, including explicit attacks on women who have made claims of abuse.

China really dropping the ball on this one.

Chinese officials have named women, disclosed what they say is private medical data and information on the women’s fertility, and accused some of having affairs and one of having a sexually transmitted disease. The officials said the information was evidence of bad character, invalidating the women’s accounts of abuse in Xinjiang.

This on the heels after last month referring to Uighur women as baby making machines.

China has to work on their PR game.

    I disagree, while it happens sometimes its nowhere near the norm and usually only happens when the government as an entity does or says something rather than an individual member of the government doing so.
