If so, was it polled somewhere?

    Why would the CPC, in the same breath, exempt the Uyghurs from the One Child Policy but also force sterilization?

      Maybe? Then they can look like they’re not limiting the population while doing it covertly.

        I’m Chinese and literally grew up with Uyghurs downstairs in Hubei, they and the Hui family around the block were the only ones with more than 1 kid.

        If you’re referring to something Adrian Zenz said about 80% of new IUDs being sold in Xinjiang, he misread a decimal point 328,475 IUDs in Xinjiang out of 3,774,318. 8.7% of IUDs placed in China were in Xinjiang.

        News quoted his 80% figure before he had to retract it, but it’s already in the back of people’s minds that China’s forcibly sterilizing Uyghurs.
