The so-called "Xinjiang police files" hyped by an anti-China academic have seriously misled the international perception of China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, a local official said on Friday.
Adrian Zenz, a German anthropologist long known as a notorious figure within the international community, has released "Xinjiang-related reports" and statements that were based on assumption, speculation and fiction, Xinjiang regional government spokesperson Elijan Anayat said at a press conference in Beijing.
As a member of the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, a far-right group backed by the U.S. government, Zenz claimed he was "led by god" and is undertaking an anti-China "mission," Anayat said, adding that such vicious determinations have driven him to spread lies about Xinjiang, further exposing his conspiracy to stir things up in the Chinese region.
The foundation to which Zenz belongs was once dubbed a "harbor for neo-Nazis, fascists and antisemitic extremists from over 20 countries," Anayat noted.
The "Xinjiang police files" are filled with an abundance of misinformation, which cannot stand up to factual examination, the spokesperson added.
For example, the "files" contain a photo wall of 2,884 "people who were arbitrarily detained," claiming they were "innocent victims," but through rigorous verification by relevant government agencies, it is found that an overwhelming majority of these people are leading a normal life, Anayat said.
