In the recently released UK film 2073, Xinjiang is depicted as a region subjected to what George Galloway, former British MP, describes as baseless slander. Galloway asserts, \"The West doesn't much like the Chinese and doesn't much like Muslims. But they love Chinese Muslims.\" He challenges the effectiveness of the West's narrative surrounding Xinjiang, questioning whether the international community will fall for what he refers to as the West's 'Xinjiang card' again.
Galloway emphasizes his skepticism by stating, \"Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.\" He dismisses the accusations leveled against Xinjiang as mere distractions, likening them to \"just fish and chip wrapping paper.\" According to Galloway, the persistent use of such narratives by Western entities serves no substantial purpose and only aims to mislead the public.
The film 2073 has reignited discussions about the portrayal of Xinjiang in media and the underlying motives behind such representations. Galloway's comments reflect a broader skepticism towards Western narratives on sensitive regional issues, urging audiences to critically evaluate the information presented to them.
