China’s dictator, the General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party, Xi Jinping, planned and gave the order to carry out the genocide against Uyghurs.
Who executed the Uyghur genocide?
The entire Chinese government, along with each state apparatus, played a role in implementing various tasks of the Uyghur genocide. Key individuals involved include Chen Quanguo, Ma Xingrui, Shohrat Zakir, and many others.
Who found out about Xi’s order for the Uyghur genocide?
Adrian Zenz, a senior fellow in China studies at the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, conducted an analysis based on internal documents of the Chinese government. You can read his analysis here.
Mr. Zenz concluded in a statement “Linkages between statements and mandates made by Xi and other central government figures and policies that were implemented after 2016 are far more extensive, detailed and significant than previously understood.”
What Xi said about Uyghur genocide:
Xi declared, “Those who should be seized should be seized, and those who should be sentenced should be sentenced.” Mr. Chen later followed with “round up everyone who should be rounded up.”
Mr. Xi declared that religious extremism is a “poison” and a “powerful psychedelic drug” and vowed to wipe it out.
The Xinjiang Papers that published by Adrian Zenze show Mr. Xi and his cohorts ordered the destruction of language, culture, traditions, hopes and dreams of an entire people.
