war crimes evidence? I find it hard to believe your concerns for Palestine when you don't care about the genocide of Uyghurs

And I find it impossible for your and Western Concern over Uyghurs when they don't care about Kashmiri and Palestinians.

Hong Kong (CNN)In a bid to arrest a demographic crisis, China this week announced it will allow couples to have three children -- but some critics questioned why the government kept a limit on parents at all?

The answer might lie in Beijing's attitudes towards its ethnic minorities, particularly those in Xinjiang.

Since 2017, the Chinese government has strictly enforced its family planning policies on minorities in the far-western province, where Beijing is accused of committing genocide against the Muslim-majority Uyghur people. The crackdown caused local birth rates to plunge by a third in 2018.

The Chinese government strongly denies allegations of genocide and says that any attempts to limit the Uyghur population fall within the country's standard birth control policies.

Experts said Beijing is reluctant to remove all quotas on the number of children per family for several reasons. But one major factor is that ending the policy would make it much more difficult to justify Beijing's attempts to limit the population in Xinjiang and other regions with large minority groups, which tend to have more children.

"Continuing to limit births among populations deemed problematic is certainly part of the calculus," said Darren Byler, a Xinjiang expert and a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Colorado.

"If there was no policy across the whole country, it would be difficult to enforce a separate one for poor people and Muslims."

Bucking the trend
China's birth rate has been falling rapidly since the introduction of the one-child policy more than 40 years ago, which limited couples to one baby in order to alleviate poverty and stem a population boom.

While the policy successfully reined in birth rates as China developed, in more recent years officials have become concerned the country won't have enough young workers to keep powering its economic growth. A rapidly aging workforce, expecting their promised pensions, has only exacerbated those pressures.

Faced with a demographic crisis, the Chinese government relaxed the policy in 2016 to allow for two children, but many couples in the Han middle class were reluctant to have more than one child, citing the high costs of raising families particularly in cities. In 2020, the birth rate fell by almost 15% year on year.


Sudden drop
But when the Chinese government began its crackdown in Xinjiang in 2017, which allegedly involved sending millions of Uyghurs to a vast complex of detention centers, there was a simultaneous tightening of family planning policies.

Between 2017 and 2018, birth rates in Xinjiang dropped by a third, from 15.8 per 1,000 people to 10.7 per 1,000 people.
In a fax to CNN in September 2020, the Chinese government attributed the drop in the birth rate to "the comprehensive implementation of the family planning policy."

At a time when the Chinese government was desperately trying to raise birth rates, sterilizations in the region surged to 243 per 100,000 people in 2018, according to official government documents referenced in a report by Xinjiang researcher Adrian Zenz. That is far higher than the rate of 33 per 100,000 people for the rest of the country.

And while the use of IUD birth control devices dropped in China between 2016 and 2018, Zenz quoted documents showing in Xinjiang it rose to 963 per 100,000 people.

Female Uyghurs who have since left Xinjiang say they were subjected to forced contraception and sterilizations.

In his report, Zenz quoted official Chinese government policy directives beginning in 2017 which call on administrators to "severely attack behaviors that violate family planning (policies)." From that year, minority regions began a "special campaign to control birth control violations."


One ethnic Uyghur doctor who fled to Turkey said in 2020 that out of 300 exiled Uyghur women she examined from Xinjiang, about 80 had been sterilized. Many of them didn't even know they'd undergone the procedure.

The Chinese government did not mention minorities, including Uyghurs, in its relaxing of the three-child policy, and authorities have consistently denied accusations of forced contraception and sterilization.

State-run media blamed Xinjiang's previously high birth rates on religious extremism, and painted declining fertility as a victory for women's rights.

Experts said it is unlikely the rules will be relaxed for minorities any time soon.

Another dumb article written by idiots who has no idea of system working in China and purely used his imagination and fart to conjured his article.

Minorities in China are not under any families planning in China ever since. Those restriction are on Han Chinese only.

That is why u go Xinjiang and Tibet, you can find their(Uyhgur or Tibetan) families are big and they have even 4-5 siblings , many brother or sisters. If you see any minorities in China, its common Chinese will ask them how many brothers or sisters they have...

China map may cap the birthrate of uighurs. They have the capability to do that. It is not a democratic government answerable to the citizen that way they discriminated against a particular group in applying the law.

The United States and Israel are important drivers of the topic of Uyghur genocide. They want to transfer their contradiction with the Islamic world into a contradiction between China and the Islamic world, and encourage hostility between the Islamic world and China. The offshore balance strategy of the Anglo-Saxons has been this way for 500 years. Let competitors kill each other and they can profit from it.
Whether it is China, Iran, Russia, Arab countries, or even the United States itself, they don’t want to see Turkey re-establish the Ottoman Empire. The Uyghur pan-Turkic rebellion has received U.S. military support. Jewish organizations are very hard on the hype of the topic of Uyghur genocide. I wonder what exactly the Jews want to achieve.

Xinjiang is actually the only bright spot in central and south Asian for development and prosperity, and the development level between Xinjiang and neighboring countries is rapidly widenning by the day.

EXCLUSIVE China policies could cut millions of Uyghur births in Xinjiang

Western media needs to learn some basics in the China bashing campaign, Uihgurs altogether account for around 1% of China's population, how can they make any impact on China's population trends? It's a no brainer.

wait, because they make up 14 million of the population, they should be forced into abortions, sterilizations, and IUD's? heh

:sarcastic: :sarcastic: :sarcastic:

If China really wants to boosts the growth of its population as claimed by ignorant people, she would have removed the limit.

Another silly thread.

They are not, western media is just crazy, if what they claim is true, there will be no people on the streets in XInjiang, but the fact is even the remotest border corner in Xinjiang are flush with people enjoying their lives.
