      The evidence has been compiled by German anthropologist Dr Adrian Zenz, whose research was instrumental in raising the profile of the security build-up and mass detention of Uighurs in China's remote Xinjiang province.

      If you're unfamiliar with Zenz, he's a far right evangelical and senior fellow of the Victims of Communism Memorial Fund, which is the group constantly pushing the Communism Killed 100 Million People! narrative. He believes he's on a mission from God to destroy Chinese communism. His research methods are laughable. He basically just makes shit up and it gets repeated uncritically by outlets like this.

        "Zenz is a born-again Christian. He stated that he feels "led by God" in his research on Chinese minority groups."

          Oh, so he must be telling the truth. No one ever used the excuse of "led by God" to blatantly lie and excuse their lack of evidence in order to drum up religious support.
