New Chinese government statistics reveal the devastating consequences of what the United States and other countries have condemned as a genocidal campaign against the nation's ethnic Uyghur population, mainly based in Xinjiang, the northwestern region of China.

According to the China Statistical Yearbook 2020, compiled by the National Bureau of Statistics, the birthrate in Xinjiang last year was only 8.14 births per 1,000 people. That is little more than half the figure for 2017, when the birthrate was 15.88 births per 1,000 people.
