当地时间1月28日，美国独立新闻网站美国独立媒体“灰色地带”（The Grayzone）发表调查文章，揭批《纽约时报》借所谓“专家”抹黑中国。
文章题目写道：《纽约时报》指责中国“种族灭绝”的假专家，实则为右翼邪教法x功的宣传部门工作。
近日，《纽约时报》兴师动众地找专家，发表了一篇指控中国对维吾尔族犯下了“灭绝种族罪”的文章。该文章在事实上受到了质疑，一经发布就立即翻车了。

据“灰色地带”披露，这篇题为《新疆发生种族灭绝，我才开始寻根》的评论文章作者彭•阿米莉亚 （Amelia Pang） ，是法X功媒体《大纪元时报》的前员工。她在《大纪元时报》工作的五年中，发表了至少17篇宣传邪教组织的文章，还发表了大量夸张的、毫无依据的反华报道。
彭•阿米莉亚恰巧是《大纪元时报》的前员工，而《大纪元时报》是狂热的反华邪教法X功的极右翼宣传机构。 …Amelia Pang, happens to be a former employee of the Epoch Times, a far-right propaganda arm of a fanatical anti-China cult called Falun Gong. 这个极端组织认为，种族混合、同性恋、女权主义和科学是撒旦的阴谋，同时将特朗普尊为上帝一样的人物，认为他是上天派下来摧毁中国共产党的。 The extremist group preaches that race-mixing, homosexuality, feminism, and science are Satanic plots, and reveres Donald Trump as a God-like figure who was sent down from heaven to destroy the Communist Party of China.
《纽约时报》：新疆发生种族灭绝，我才开始寻根
更讽刺的是，就在3个月前 （2020年10月） ，《纽约时报》刚刚发表了一篇文章揭批《大纪元时报》，称它是一份有反华倾向的低成本小报。
在这篇文章中，《纽约时报》曾为《大纪元时报》打上了“右翼错误信息主要提供者”的烙印，称其“推动危险的阴谋论”，“愿意为极右分子的网络狂热提供信息”，而且“在特朗普核心圈子中的影响力与日俱增”。
The New York Times' decision to run Pang's commentary was ironic in light of the lengthy feature it published on the Falun Gong propaganda arm in October 2020, which branded the Epoch Times a "leading purveyor of right-wing misinformation" that is "pushing dangerous conspiracy theories" with a "willingness to feed the online fever swamps of the far right," and a "growing influence in Mr. Trump's inner circle."
然而，才过去几个月，《纽约时报》就改变立场，又来刊登《大纪元时报》工作人员的评论文章，如此打脸的操作，不得不让人质疑其专业性和真实性，更让人怀疑其居心何在。
所谓新疆问题“专家”
一生未曾去过新疆
在这篇发表在《纽约时报》的评论文章中，彭利用其八分之一的维吾尔族血统，将自己和家人描述成中国政府实施所谓“种族灭绝”的受害者。
In her Times op-ed, Pang deployed her 1/8th Uighur heritage to portray herself and her family as victims of a purported “genocide” carried out by the Chinese government.
彭在文章中写道，“我的姥姥是半个维吾尔族人”，或者说她的曾祖母是维吾尔族人，这就使她有了八分之一的维吾尔族血统。
…"my maternal grandmother was half Uighur" – or, her great-grandmother was Uighur, which made her 1/8th Uighur.
与此同时，她承认自己一生都在美国生活，因此不太熟悉中国及中国社会。
At the same time, she acknowledged that she has lived her entire life in the United States, and therefore has little familiarity with China and its society. “除了我的母亲与一位伯母，（我的家族中）没有人到过新疆，她们两个也没有与自己遇到的亲戚保持联系。” …"no one [in my family] had ever visited Xinjiang apart from my mother and one aunt, and neither of them had stayed in touch with the relatives they met."
尽管与中国没有什么联系，彭却将自己及其家人描述成共产党的受害者。她写道：“中国的强制同化政策仍然影响着我”。她完全不了解维吾尔族文化，却没有将这点归结为她们一家作为美国移民被同化，而是将其归结为北京所谓的残酷行为。
Despite her distant connection to China, Pang characterized herself and her family as victims of the Chinese communist party. "China's forced assimilation policies still reached me," she wrote, attributing her total lack of knowledge of Uighur culture not to her family's fairly typical story of assimilation as American immigrants, but rather to Beijing's supposed cruelty.
她发布推文称，“很遗憾，新疆发生种族灭绝，我才开始寻根”。
"I'm sorry it took a genocide for me to remember I am Uighur," Pang tweeted.
提供虚假信息已成美媒报道常态
“灰色地带”报道称，为了证明中国政府犯有“种族灭绝”罪，彭暗示联合国也谴责了中国的“罪行”。这种使用虚假信息的手段在西方媒体的反华报道中很常见。但事实是，联合国并没有这样做。
To make her case that the Chinese government was guilty of “genocide,” Pang misleadingly implied that the United Nations has accused China of the crime – a disinformation tactic that has become common in anti-China reporting in the Western media. But the UN has not done so.
彭还引用了美国国家广播公司 （NPR）的一篇报道，标题是，“报道称，中国对维吾尔族的压制与联合国对种族灭绝的定义相符” （China Suppression Of Uighur Minorities Meets UN Definition Of Genocide, Report Says.）。
然而，“灰色地带”认为，这篇报道同样具有误导性。
事实上，彭的文章以及NPR的报道引用的都不是联合国的文件，而是一个极右的德国学者郑国恩的调研结果。
The report both Pang and NPR were citing was not a United Nations document, but rather an investigation by a far-right German academic named Adrian Zenz.
“灰色地带”曾揭批过郑国恩，他是一名极右翼的原教旨主义基督徒，反对同性恋、性别平等问题，声称自己反华是“受到上帝的指引”。
他并没有在中国待过多久，而且对于中国的政治、历史、社会等问题也没有明显的学术见解，与其说他是一个学者，不如说他是一个右翼分子。
The Grayzone has previously revealed Zenz to be an extremist Christian who opposes homosexuality and gender equality and claims to be “led by God” against China. Zenz, who has not spent a significant period of time in China, and has no evident scholarly expertise on Chinese politics, history, or society, is not so much an academic as he is a right-wing operative.
而郑国恩的所谓“学术报告”是几乎每个西方媒体控诉新疆“种族灭绝”及集中营问题时所引用的信源。
The far-right German academic is the source for practically every Western media report alleging "genocide" and enormous concentration camps in Xinjiang.
“灰色地带”称，彭的专栏文章从第一行开始就是扭曲报道。她写道，“我第一次真正意识到自己有维吾尔血统是在三年前，当时我看到一张在网上疯传、现已臭名昭著的照片：一排排身穿深蓝色制服的突厥民族男性坐在新疆和田一个集中营的地上，新疆是中国所谓的维吾尔族自治区。”
From the very first line, Amelia Pang's New York Times op-ed was based on distortions. She wrote, "The first time I truly realized I was Uighur was just three years ago, when I saw the now-infamous viral photo of rows of Turkic men in dark blue uniforms, sitting in a concentration camp in Hotan, Xinjiang, a so-called Uighur autonomous region in China."
彭在文章中提到的照片↓↓
这张照片在西方媒体和非政府组织中广泛传播，也几乎成为新疆所谓“集中营”的唯一图像证明。
The photo Pang referenced has been heavily circulated by Western media outlets and NGOs, and is upheld as practically the only image proving the existence of “concentration camps” run by Beijing.
令人喷饭的是，这张照片并不是由某个囚犯或记者所拍摄，而是中国政府自己在新闻稿中发布的，日期是在2014年，比美国国务院宣称新疆“种族灭绝”开始的时间早了3年。
The photo was not taken by some courageous prisoner or crusading investigative journalist; it was published by the Chinese government itself, in a press release from 2014 — three years before the State Department claimed the "genocide" began in Xinjiang.
实际上，原图发布在新疆司法厅的官方微信账号中，并带有水印，将其标识为中国政府拍摄的正式照片。西方进行反华宣传时裁掉了水印，并将这一图片作为政府开设集中营的证据。
In fact, the original image was published on the Xinjiang Bureau of Justice's own WeChat account, with a watermark identifying it as an official photo taken by Chinese authorities. Western anti-China propagandists have subsequently cropped off the watermark and presented the photo as proof of China caught in the act.
不需要证据！
只要抹黑中国就行
“灰色地带”在这篇文章中质疑《纽约时报》作为媒体的公信力和倾向性。
文章称，如今，在《纽约时报》编辑部，超同一性新自由主义者文化占据着主导地位，这足以使得作者（彭）具有不容置疑的可靠性。
And in the hyper-identitarian neoliberal culture that now dominates the New York Times newsroom, this was enough to confer unassailable authority upon the author.
然而，值得注意的是，《纽约时报》对许多在新疆自治区出生、长大、支持中国共产党及政府发展决策的维吾尔族人采取忽视并禁声的态度，却如此乐意接纳一位拥有1/8维吾尔族血统的美国撰稿人的指责和焦虑。
It is notable that the Times was so willing to entertain the accusatory angst of a US pundit with 1/8th Uighur heritage, while it actively ignores and silences the many Uighurs born and raised in China's Xinjiang province, who support the Communist Party of China and the government's developmental policies.
“灰色地带”认为，彭的这篇漏洞百出的文章足以成为典型的研究案例，说明任何一篇文章，只要是指控美国官方认定的敌人犯下最严重的战争罪行，媒体就可以不需要任何证据就为其开绿灯。
The faulty article was a case study in how little evidence corporate media editors require to green light a piece as long as it accuses official US enemies of the most titanic of war crimes.
目前，《纽约时报》将彭的文章翻译成简体中文和繁体中文，以便全世界都可以阅读。
The Times translated the op-ed from English into both simplified and traditional Chinese so it could be read around the world.
利用各类媒体大肆抹黑中国
此外，彭的这篇文章发表的时间也很微妙：在特朗普政府正式指控中国犯下“种族灭绝罪”的前几天，彭的评论文章刊登了出来。
蓬佩奥任期内的美国国务院宣称中国的“种族灭绝”运动始于2017年3月，却无法为其极端指控提供任何证据。
The Pompeo State Department provided no evidence to bolster its extreme accusations, yet alleged that China’s campaign of “genocide” began in March 2017.
与此同时，美国利用媒体大肆抹黑中国。
“灰色地带”表示，《纽约时报》已经成为传播美国对华信息战的中心传送带，给这场信息战披上了新闻公信力的外衣，并将其推销给包括《纽约时报》读者群在内的自由主义知识分子。
The New York Times has been a central conveyor belt for the transmission of the US information war against China, providing it with a critical patina of journalistic credibility and marketing it to the liberal intelligensia that comprises the Times' readership.
同时，包括推特与脸谱在内的社交媒体平台暂停了一些知名维吾尔人及其他中国伊斯兰教徒的账户，因为这些人针对这场冲突提出了另外一种观点。而西方媒体仅允许一种观点：即符合华盛顿及其新冷战利益的观点。
Meanwhile, social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook have suspended the accounts of prominent Uighurs and other Chinese Muslims who provided an alternative perspective on the conflict. In Western media, only one viewpoint is allowed: that which serves the interest of Washington and its new Cold War.
事实上，有关西方对中国进行的虚假情报运动，“灰色地带”已经进行了广泛报道。
The Grayzone has reported extensively on the Western disinformation campaign against China…
在几乎所有案例中，与该议题相关的煽动性媒体和美国国务院所依赖的研究，都是由这两类机构做出的：持极端观点的极右翼机构，以及由美国政府及军需工业提供资金支持的反华非政府组织。“灰色地带”认为，这些研究都是值得怀疑的。
In nearly every case, incendiary corporate media and State Department claims related to the issue rely on questionable research by a single far-right operative with extremist views and a network of anti-China NGOs funded by the US government and the arms industry.
美国支援新疆分裂势力
企图煽动中国内乱
司马昭之心，路人皆知。
“灰色地带”在文章中明确揭露，通过鼓励新疆的分裂势力，美国的目的就是为了对中国产生巨大影响。
曾任美国前国务卿科林·鲍威尔办公室主任的劳伦斯·威尔克森曾在一次演讲中公开表示，美国中央情报局 （CIA）就是想利用在叙利亚境内的新疆维吾尔族人煽动中国内乱，从而达到破坏中国稳定的目的。
为此，CIA下属的美国国家民主基金会 （NED）曾向新疆的分裂势力提供数百万美元的资助。
2020年12月，NED曾在推特上公开宣称，对新疆分裂运动提供资金支持。 The NED publicly boasted of its support for the Uighur separatist movement on Twitter in December 2020.
