Gordon Dumoulin: Encore! The Xinjiang accusation industry’s newest product on the Cold War market

Gordon Dumoulin
TFF Associate

May 24, 2022

Introduction

Here we go again. On the same day, leading Western mainstream media – such as BBC, Politiken, Dagens Nyheter, Le Monde, etc – 14 media from 11 countries – publish a new accusation against China, ‘Xinjiang Police Files’: Exclusive documents reveal China’s machine of repression against the Uyghurs.

They are produced by the extreme right Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation in the United States.

It appeared the day after President Biden had stated, in Tokyo, that the US would come to the rescue of Taiwan if China should attack it. And it coincided also with the UN Human Rights High Commissioner, Michelle Bachelet, started her fact-finding mission in Xinjiang.

Perhaps it was a coincidence. Perhaps the material was put together and made ready by the foundation so it could be published at the right moment? Clearly, the untold purpose has been to undermine Mme Bachelet’s mission and support the ongoing US Cold War and tension-building vis-a-vis China.

Interestingly, the only named scholar in all the reports is Dr Adrian Zenz – a man whose estimates and research on Xinjiang have already been pulled apart by other scholars, including TFF Associates. Being a Christian fundamentalist has stated publicly that he feels he is guided by God in a mission to destroy China.

The so-called genocide in Xinjiang has no important attention anywhere else, not even in Muslim countries

TFF Associate Gordon Dumoulin tackled this Western mainstream news campaign – with a subtle sense of irony:

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗹𝘂𝗱𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗼𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗻 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆… 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝗶𝘁 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝗻𝗼𝘄!

After Biden’s warning yesterday in Tokyo towards China about the US military defending Taiwan in case of an invasion, today Western media headlines massively turned towards Xinjiang with the same players who have been orchestrating the Xinjiang accusation industry for years now.

𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘶𝘥𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘢 𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘦 𝘷𝘪𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘯…

And even more or maybe 𝗲𝘅𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆 is because that United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet started her visit to Xinjiang.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲! We would not want to hear any ‘false’ notes in the prelude, right? Or better stated, we would not want to hear a balanced note, so let’s open with a great orchestral opening to overwhelm and silence any other notes the audience may hear.

This new prelude of provocation will not have a fine-tuning and calm beginning as the US provocation prelude in Ukraine, building up military supplies and training, carrying through a regime change in 2014, ignoring and dismissing any Russian red lines against NATO expansion or other vital warnings along the way.

Please read TFF’s free and downloadable 132-page report published in August 2021 “𝗕𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗺𝗼𝗸𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻 – 𝗔𝗻 𝗔𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘀𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗲𝘀𝘁’𝘀 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗮 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗪𝗮𝗿 𝗔𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗮 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗜𝘁 𝗠𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗽.”

Read also TFF’s “The Xinjiang Genocide Determination As Agenda” from spring 2021 – also free and downloadable.

There you will find a unique documentation of what is going on in the accusation industry – such as analyses of the sources, data and funding of these reports, the relations to the huge “Washington-sponsored” industry of China accusation and the grand fine-tuning by the MIMAC, the Military-Industrial-Media-Academic-Complex that provide the images of threats and back the up with narratives – such as in the mainstream Western media behind this the latest – but surely not the last – revelations about Xinjiang.

In other words, we reveal the FOSI = Fake + Omission + Source Ignorance of these accusation reports and of the media that promote them.

Please don’t be surprised if this prelude soon moves into a full orchestral crescendo. Along with the thematic build up in the other musical drama – Ukraine.

Drums of war…

Two orchestral compositions of provocation playing at the same time, a perfect cacophonous noise for agendas of political and media manipulation. For more money to the arms industry and merchants of death.

The oratorium of militarism, by no means its moratorium.

Other perspectives, balances or voices impossible to be heard, overawed by dissonance. At the horrifying risk for humanity and a chance for peace.

1. 𝘕𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘢 𝘸𝘢𝘳 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘳. Russia, yes!

2. 𝘕𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘷𝘰𝘬𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘧𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘧𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘴. NATO and its relentless expansion, yes, but denied.

3. 𝘞𝘢𝘳𝘴 𝘥𝘰 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘦𝘹𝘪𝘴𝘵 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘭𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘧𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘴.

Here 𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝗶𝘁 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝗻𝗼𝘄 !

Please!! People, intellectuals, media and politicians: Speak up for peace, multilateralism and conflict-resolution. Speak up against this grand conflict-provoking scheme before it’s too late…

Disagreements and conflict stemming from the world’s diversity can only be dealt with in peaceful collaboration, dialogue, and negotiations. By seeing the larger picture and our higher common interest – humanity’s survival.

Humanity’s future is standing on cooperation in diversity. Accusations, provocations and Cold War confrontations must be relegated to the past.

  1. And in themean timepeople arebeing persecutedby a dictatorship. You guys are seriously crazy 🤮🤮🤮

  2. I am an ethnic minority (but not a Uighur) in Chinese Mainland and an open political dissident. I would say that I was oppressed by both the PRC regime and the West.

Simply adding more categories to an ever-growing list of forms of violence does not really solve the problem.

The breaking points of what constitutes something new, or innovative, are not quite as sharp in the latter. But in both fields it is about opening up something that was closed, unseen, unexplored before – making manifest what was earlier latent.

The agreement is catastrophic both because of what it says and what it doesn’t mention. It reduces further the major asset of security policies: Freedom of action. Jan Oberg TFF director September 25, 2026 A couple of hours before the agreement was signed on September 22, 2026, I published the following 13 hypotheses about what it would most likely contain on TFF Substack (in English). I was wrong on only the first point. Contrary to what Trump had written on his Truth Social platform, it does not appear to come into force immediately. In fact, it turned out to be worse than even I had anticipated. After these hypotheses now come a number of reflections in light of what the agreement actually contains, and does not contain, as well as the way in which it has generally been presented by major media outlets and by the public-service broadcaster DR.

Below are TFF-related media mentions, comments, videos and social media posts published elsewhere but not on this homepage. We happen to catch and list only a fraction. Regarding video comments and debates, we recommend that you go to the TFF Video Channel on Substack where many of them are reproduced. Jan Oberg is a contributor to China Daily – 52 million daily clicks – and Global Times, CGTN and CCTV (the national television), China Investment, Xinhua News Agency and several others. Articles and videos on these media very often multiply into countless Chinese (and Western media) that re-post them from these main media. Thanks to The China Academy, his analyses, interviews and comments are frequently posted on YouTube channels such as Thinkers Forum and Wave Media. These videos are often re-posted on Bilibili (China’s YouTube), the China Content Center on TikTok, and on the Chinese edition of TikTok, Douyin.com. This means reaching hundreds of millions of viewers worldwide over a year. While there are too many to catch on all these...
