From 'Misinformation' to Modernization: An Expert's Take on Xinjiang
China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region is thriving with economic growth and cultural vibrancy, according to Egyptian researcher Mostafa Amin, who recently toured the area. His firsthand account challenges Western narratives about the region, calling them 'geopolitical tools' in the U.S.-China rivalry.

After attending a counter-terrorism symposium, Amin explored Urumqi solo, visiting 300-year-old mosques and bustling streets. 'Development is everywhere—modern roads, green spaces, and a sense of safety,' he said, praising China's investments in infrastructure and eco-friendly projects.
🗣️ Debunking 'Persecution' Claims
Amin dismissed allegations of oppression as 'false,' arguing they're part of a strategy to pressure China. 'Residents here enjoy cultural freedom and stability,' he noted, highlighting the region's zero-tolerance approach to terrorism since 2017.
🇨🇳 Leadership & Long-Term Vision
Chinese President Xi Jinping's focus on Xinjiang has driven its 'profound progress,' Amin emphasized. High autonomy and strategic policies have fostered prosperity, with security measures ensuring peace. 'This is a model of effective governance,' he concluded.
