BEIJING, April 30 (Xinhua) -- 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. The report, titled "Slanderer Adrian Zenz's Xinjiang-related Fallacies Versus the Truth," uses facts and figures to debunk a spate of groundless claims fabricated and spread by Adrian Zenz including the so-called "forced labor," "forced sterilization of Uygur women" and "religious repression" in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.
