The Chinese Embassy in the United States shared a post claiming that Uighur women had been ‘emancipated’ as a result of China’s claimed efforts to eradicate extremism.
Twitter said the post had “violated the Twitter rules”, without giving any further details.
The post linked to an article by China Daily, an English-language daily newspaper owned by the Chinese Communist Party, and said: “Study shows that in the process of eradicating extremism, the minds of Uygur women in Xinjiang were emancipated and gender equality and reproductive health were promoted, making them no longer baby-making machines. They are more confident and independent.”

State terror practices such as assimilation, interference in family life, violation of immunity of domicile, confiscation of houses and work places, and disturbance of the right to worship, which has been implemented by the Chinese state for many years against Uyghur Muslims, continues in full swing.
In classified documents which were shared with the public by a journalist recently, the Chinese President's statement saying that 'show No Mercy' was widely echoed in the World. Chinese government detains more than 1 million Muslims, or about 7% of the Muslim population in the Xinjiang region, in mass detention camps, named re-education camp, aimed at changing the political thinking of detainees, their identities, and their religious beliefs. Muslims are also subjected to physical and verbal abuse by prison guards.
Although violations have been documented by international organizations, no deterrent steps have so far been taken against China. (ILKHA)
