Adrian Zenz, totalitarian mouthpiece, has never been to China!
But he is trying to steer how you think about that nation.

China’s Leaders and UN Human Rights Commissioner Bachelet Agree, Economic Development Is a Human Right
May 25 (EIRNS)—The visit to China by UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, former Chilean President Michelle Bachelet, is the first visit by a Human Rights Commissioner to China in 17 years. But it is not Mrs. Bachelet’s first visit to China or her first conversations with either President Xi Jinping or State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi, with whom she had cordial meetings on May 24 and 25. As Chile’s President from 2006-2016 and 2014-2018, she had welcomed both men to Chile at different times and always stressed how important China is to Chile’s future development, economically, politically and strategically. In May 2017, she traveled to Beijing for a state visit at Xi Jinping’s invitation and also attended the Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation.
So, she is a stranger neither to China nor its leadership, and certainly not, as former Chilean President, to the needs of developing nations. This, indeed, may explain some of the cacophony coming from both sides of the Atlantic about her six-day trip. She met virtually with President Xi Jinping on May 25, which followed her meeting with Wang Yi, one day earlier in Guangzhou. There, she also gave a lecture to the Human Rights Institute of Guangzhou University. Today, Xi elaborated to her on the human rights position of the Communist Party of China in working to achieve the people’s happiness and accomplish the rejuvenation of the Chinese people. After decades of strenuous efforts, Xi said, China has successfully found a path of human rights development in keeping with the trend of the times and China’s national reality. “Human rights are a rich and all-encompassing concept,” he emphasized, “and must be advanced with integrated and systematic measures. For developing countries, the rights to subsistence and development are the primary human rights,” he underscored.
Xi also said that China was open to dialogue on the question of human rights, stating that in terms of human rights protection, there is no ideal state and there is always room for improvement. But, he added, “the promotion and protection of human rights is a common cause for humanity and thus requires the concerted efforts of all. When it comes to human rights issues, there is no perfect ‘ideal state.’ ” The national conditions, histories, cultures, social systems and levels of economic and social development of each country must be taken into account. Blindly copying models from other countries regardless of conditions is not an option, he said, and “countries do not need patronizing lecturers; still less should human rights issues be politicized and used as a tool to apply double standards or as a pretext to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries.”
Bachelet expressed her appreciation to China for receiving her visit despite the COVID challenge, and said that she values this visit, and looks forward to having extensive engagements and direct communication with the Chinese government and people across different sectors, and is confident that this visit will give her a better understanding of China. She has great admiration for China’s efforts and achievements in eliminating poverty, protecting human rights and realizing economic and social development. China’s role in upholding multilateralism is particularly important, she said, in addition to tackling such global challenges as climate change, and promoting sustainable development across the world. The High Commissioner’s Office, she said, would like to enhance communication and explore cooperation with China to make joint efforts for the progress of the global human rights cause.
London’s China Bashers Launch New ‘Exposé’ on Xinjiang as UN Human Rights Commissioner Begins Visit
May 25 (EIRNS)—Just as UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet had arrived in China on May 22 for a six-day visit, which will include trips to Kashgar and Urumqi in Xinjiang, British asset Adrian Zenz, author of the lie that “1 million Uighurs” are locked up in Xinjiang, unleashed a wild slander campaign against China which has now gone viral. It is based on the release of hacked Chinese police photographs and documents, purporting to show repression of 20,000 detained Uighurs arrested between 2000 and 2018 in Xinjiang.
Nota bene: the documents, said to be extracted from the Chinese public security bureau by anonymous hackers, were sent to Zenz—and only Zenz—who then immediately shared them with the media, and had them published by the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation for which he works. Zenz boasted that “it’s the first time we have police evidence that is unfiltered. It comes from hacking, so censorship is virtually impossible,” AFP reported him as saying. On the same day the files were published, Zenz also published an “academic” paper explaining that large number of Uighurs were detained due to Chinese political paranoia that promoted “exaggerated threat perceptions” of terrorism.
As of today, international media, with the British media in the lead, are publishing this “exposé” with blaring, hysterical headlines. Obviously, this is intended to sabotage Mrs. Bachelet’s visit, but the broader significance of the attack cannot be underestimated. It occurs at a moment of extraordinarily dangerous strategic crisis in which Russia and China are the major targets of an Anglo-American establishment driven mad by the collapse of its financial system. Britain’s BBC took the cake in its coverage, publishing the documents in a dramatic format with sophisticated computer graphics to portray alleged detention centers and guards in the darkest and most ominous way possible. Sources in the U.K. tell EIR that the Brits are “going crazy” with this news. London’s Guardian lavished praise on Zenz as a principled “scholar and activist.”
Who is Zenz?
[Not so clean as he appears! See this report which accuses him of speculation and double standards.]
German-born and Cambridge-educated, this born-again Christian has been ubiquitous in recent years as the leading expert witness on Uighur “genocide” in Xinjiang—he has never set foot there, but depends on the internet for his information—and works with such known British-controlled anti-China outfits as the World Uighur Congress and its Uighur Tribunal, at which he was a witness in September 2020. The Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, at which he is a Senior Fellow in Chinese Studies, was founded in 1993 by Zbigniew Brzezinski to “educate Americans about the ideology, history and legacy of communism.” The Foundation also published the hacked documents.
Mrs. Bachelet, twice President of Chile, is very knowledgeable about China and personally knows both President Xi Jinping and State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi with whom she held cordial meetings yesterday (see separate report). Even before these latest files were released, various Anglo-American mouthpieces were already attacking her for daring to visit China. On May 20, Ned Price said the U.S. was “deeply concerned” about her trip, as it was a foregone conclusion, he asserted, that the Chinese government would not grant her necessary access to conduct a “complete, unmanipulated assessment of the human rights environment in Xinjiang.” He questioned her “silence” on Xinjiang and demanded she issue a report on it before traveling to China.
Then, yesterday, he stated that it was “a mistake to visit under the circumstances,” as it would be impossible for her to obtain a full “picture of the atrocities, the crimes against humanity and genocide in the region.” The newly released documents, he said, “add to an already damning body of evidence” of abuses there. On, May 23, the Guardian reported, the British Ambassador in Beijing Caroline Wilson tweeted that she had spoken with Bachelet by phone and stressed to her “the importance of unfettered access to Xinjiang and private conversations with its people.”
Foreign Secretary Liz “Thatcher” Truss pointed yesterday to “shocking details of China’s human rights violations” against the Uighur Muslim population revealed in the hacked documents, and demanded that Bachelet be granted “unfettered access to the region so she can conduct a thorough assessment of the facts on the ground.” And, she added threateningly, “we are following her visit this week closely.”

We can conclude that the Empire blunders on, under the helm of the Corporation of London.

Yesterday’s UK Column News addresses the Uighur topic. (And fwiw: they stated they would be doing a Thursday broadcast, due to continuing issues and interest.)
