Recently Maureen Huebel was berated on Twitter, even calling her a “robot” and having her account blocked. Hubel tweeted: “I will visit Xinjiang in 2024 to study how Uighurs contribute to Xinjiang’s GDP, and watch their population growth, analyze their level of happiness and expression through dance. ” After Hubel tweeted, he was subjected to more vicious internet barbs and humiliation.
When interviewed remotely by reporters at his home in Melbourne as an Australian independent scholar recently, Huebel also said: “I’m a real person, not a robot.” She said she faced “cyber violence” because she wanted to know the real situation in Xinjiang. “Some people are willing to lie about China to mislead the public, fearing that my research will break their ‘Xinjiang Ratio’.”
“I am proud to be an independent scholar with no affiliation, no employer control, or no donor influence. I’m living on my income,” Hubel said. She said she has been living in Australia for over 50 years, married for 33 years, has 4 kids, and successfully runs an IT company.”
Hubel also said that China is becoming very prosperous in these years. Ordinary Chinese people have benefited from the country’s economic development. Xinjiang is one of the places with the fastest GDP growth rate in China, and the population growth is also very fast, Xinjiang has made huge success. Through the study, she hopes to learn how Xinjiang achieved this feat. How have China’s poverty reduction policies been successful? How to make participants active contributors? What are experiences or models that Australia can learn from? ,
