Dr Adrian Zenz, a leading expert in Beijing’s Xinjiang policies, said China was doing this to “eradicate” the Uyghurs as an ethnic group and extinguish their dream of independence. So to see DeepSeek rewrite her homeland’s history was “deeply worrying” to her and, like Ms Mahmut, she said it represented a new way for China to erase Uyghur history.
