senior fellow in china studies. at the victims of communism memorial foundation's and he joins us from st paul and minnesota thank you very much for being with us today. thank you this isn't your first- reported on we gore's being forced into internment camps which china says are in fact related to cation earlier this year you're reported about forced labors and in your latest revelation published by the jamestown foundation in the u. s. to describe the birth control policies put in place in that region but those are very v very harsh and draststic popolicies can you tell us what you found. i personally noticed that- population growth and birthrates in the region of xinjiang but particularly in the week k or ethnic mininority regions h he fallen dramaticically. declinenes of up

290% in s some cases up to one hundred percent. between two thousand f fifteen and two thousasand eigighteen and what excititing further into ththose nineteteen. i foundnd steps- him destroy maticic a a populatioion decline it'ss not jusust connend toto the campapaign of mass internment by works between o oe andd t two million weakerdults have been swept i into a soo called re educacation camamps. t i did find additionally significant evidence b both prevention to suppression of books and even my sterilizationn is a systematic gogovernment. this hasas published documents that i was ablee to uncover that say that t those who vioiolate h controrol are punished by beinig put intoto internmentampaigns that women arere facing mandaday placements of intrauterinee contraceptive devices. intnto te uterus soo are you d dis andnd r two o weeks- countnties uncovera shockiking evidence of plans for mamas fememale sterilization so.

two thousand nineteen. it's a is up to this. it is quite perfect- let's put it this way is what- those women. have gone through- because it's not only a plan it seems that it has been. in and said we're talking about bass- sterilization- policies that have been put in place and have had a drastic effect as you said on the population. both and on the thank a comp of the hour of co yes. but certainly thiss is a apparentlyly a w white a game pn off eththno racial supremamacy.y the c central government in beijijing now aftfter the- are momoted on armies occupieddhe area in nineteen forty ninene- y what's it doing sent millions of hunch c chinese colonial settlers into thehe area floodin them with a hunk population. however m more rerecently. t thk up collation grorowth have beben

strategy herere is one of ethnic mixing and dilution m meaning hn chchinese are encouraged to move in with thehe weak us and so paulo state popopulation i would however characterize it- tentatively at least as a campaign off demographic genocide. that's a very loaded word genocide is not a word one can use- lightly- what do you mean by demographic genocide a genocide is an actual genocides. but that is very truee ed thehe legagal definition of genocide was set forth b by the uninited nanations conventntion on the prprevention and punishment of the crime of genocidee in nineneteen forty e eight it h hs five cririteria any one of which is sufficient. t to qualify and atat genococide if it intends to destroy a populatioion i in parr in whole. that not one of these five criteria for genococide is this a prank offff but off the targeted group.or this we

have clear and sysystematic evidence. i do you know what i'm a graphic as a qualifier because i feel iss appropriate- to qualify what is going on however the term demographihi genocide is not a legal definition. right fairly- your data is- the key at the chinese media has accused you essentially of fabricating it's- you claim that you're actually working on direct chinese. sources has not been the case for all your a discovery and how do you do it. yes in fact i statarted workikig with chinesese government data over tenen years ago for my phd and have been over time refining my methods andnd expanding my focus of researarch into a verer d dferent forms of data. i i analyze. officially publishedd chinese statistical figugures a yearr book day talk. recruitment documents procured

documents budgegets plans a and reports s ste media sources as well. m.. i i often have to useo an asian because the chinese office i'm'm kind of trying to. what do it however using things togegether almost l lika pipie.i arrive at some veryy pertitinent conclusisions now for this particular report i was actually able to uncover smoking gun evidence s. you might wanna say smoking gunun evididence m mns. specifific tat figugures- for sterilizing as so many thousand women in partrticular areas. it's stated as mandadatory target. right as i mentioned thehe chinese media has accused of view of being an enemy of far right catholic firebrand a us intelligence asset there even- threats in the official chinese yeaeah all suing you for. libel why have you becomome- such a

controversial person for china. i've bececome a very big problem fofor beijing b because my reseh uncovers an atrtrocity one of te greaeatest ongoing human rights viviolations of ththe twentnty t centntury. a and in n evidencei ly on chinesen beijing's own documents which it t cannot refute. nowow the child's most recentlylyave actualally t trieo argue that some of myy calculations are w wrong by misrepresenting them hi by not performingng t the same calculations by believing out. the thingsgs that it etetcetera etcetera b by misrepresentntingy workrk. but their main. fococuss to try to- h have an add hominim atta on me by it's called a characacter assassination attttk by questioningng myy motives. becacause the thing is china is desperate b beijing is s despere because of my findidings what else are they gonna do thehey feel they y have to now go on te offensive. you too scared about

the lawsuit maybe something even darker in terms of threats have you beenn receiving some pretty direct threats because of your work. i h have not received a direct t threats ououtside of whwhat the chinesee state media and the chinese ministry of forereign affairs have senent however these threas alreadyy are entirirely unprecedented. beijing h has nener issued any such threats agaiainst a for an academic and researcher. now and i'm i'm not so concerned about the lawawsuit becaususe the laws are dececidey in m my favor i i've looked into it. and i thank the probability ofof agiging jing in a any succl succesessful lawsu a against me are e extremely slim rightht howeverr tip i think theorore indirectct right step thehey hae each. yeah i am in fact meeting up with thehe lococal fbi here n

minnesota. whatat do you think f the world's reaction we've seen obviously- escalating tensions and accusations between u. s. and china us officials having referred to but you work we've seen friends- quite unusually. ties china- because of the latest revelation and i ask for- so neutral observers to be allowed into change and you think something is changing terms of. where europe is standing and maybe other countries. i i e a slow change yes. thehe firstst change cameen the dedebate when ththe china cables were releasased at thee d of last year because morore than anything else statated. bluntly the rectory proved what these- so called q quote unquote vocational interernment camps ae really about that aroununlike high securitity prisosons i stod to see. a reaeal. in the debate after he's l leaked documents were pubublished lasast yeaear o in europe however now with mymy

politicians our leaders are still prioritizing them all in self interest over the dire human rights situation often other people which i find very unacceptable. i drown sense i wanna thank you very much that so we have time for thank you for watching this interview here on france twenty four stay tuned for more news. it feels like small town ameririca. in kaiserslautern or cape town is the american troops stationed all around call it. it's been that way since the nineteen fifties. in this tailor shop said inquires land works almost exclusively on amerirican military uniforms. seventy nine

thousand and six or c. p. these factors and then armis only make proud of five- is indianapolis. 98% of its clients are american. that military personnel is the life blood of the local economy so donald trump's announcements about troop withdrawals came as a shock he says he wants t to ct their numbmbers in germany by a third. the whole from the syncingg via. i know i can check. in yet you mightht fact although with a mock. how he did s seoul on martin on this roroom when the optics in until. donene that's a movieie i need o order starts i know because- more than half of thehe thirty five thousand five hundred troops based in germany live in this region. the american presence is visible everywhere and everything's heavily protected since nine eleven. there's a tank division. and d a high school for soldiers children. and of course the ramsteininir base the
