The Chinese government responded to CNN's investigation that shed light on one of the world's greatest humanitarian crises. Last month, CNN reported on children in China's Xinjiang region who were ripped from their families. Amnesty International estimates that Beijing's policy towards Uighur Muslims has separated thousands of families. A CNN team began investigating this after the exiled parents of several children unsuccessfully implored Chinese officials to allow their children to leave the country. Desperate for answers and to be reunited with their children, they turned to CNN. However, since the broadcast of our story, the Chinese government and state media have launched a coordinated campaign to discredit the CNN report and claim that the parents are "terrorists." CNN's David Culveranalyze these expressions and the responses of the families.
