The Chinese embassy called Uighur women "child-bearing machines", sparking an uproar on social media

 

The Chinese embassy in Washington, D.C., called Uighur Muslim women "child-bearing machines" on its Twitter account, sparking an uproar, and Twitter deleted the embassy's tweet. According to ABC News, the embassy tweeted: "Investigations show that in the process of eradicating extremism, the minds of Xinjiang's Uighur Muslim women have been freed from slavery. Steps have been taken for equality and women's reproductive health so that these women do not become childbearing machines. They are confident and free. "

According to the report, thousands of Twitter users were sharply criticizing the tweet of the Chinese embassy that it was deleted by the Twitter administration saying that it was in violation of its rules and regulations. The embassy also provided a link to an article in the Chinese newspaper People's Daily about the situation in Xinjiang. It should be noted that millions of Uighur Muslims have been detained by the United States and other countries in detention centers. China has been widely criticized for forcibly changing their religious beliefs and persecuting them in captivity, but China calls the detention centers "re-education centers" and says that Uighur Muslims are being re-educated.
