Report debunks Adrian Zenz's Xinjiang-related fallacies

The Xinjiang Development Research Center on Friday published a report refuting a series of so-called Xinjiang-related "research reports" concocted by Adrian Zenz, a so-called German scholar, which wantonly attack and slander China's Xinjiang.
