The decision by the tech giant came just a day after the outgoing Trump administration, in its final hours, accused China of genocide against the minority group, a label that the new Biden administration appears to agree with.

Tweet posted earlier this month has been hidden from users.

But it originally stated that in China's battle against extremism, the minds of weaker women in Jincheng province had been emancipated and that they were no longer quote baby making machines.

Citing a study by Chinese media, Twitter says the statement was dehumanizing toward leaguers, violation of its policy.

This was the response from the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, who Ah Chong Yang.

There is a lot of false and ugly information out there about China.

The Chinese Embassy in the United States certainly has the responsibility and obligation to clarify the facts and explain the truth.

Therefore, we are puzzled that Twitter has imposed restrictions on the accounts of the Chinese Embassy in the United States.

For this reason, we hope that Twitter can uphold the principles of objectivity and fairness on not show double standards on this issue.

China has repeatedly rejected accusations of human rights abuses in Xinjiang province.

It says it's conducting rehabilitation and redemption programs for extremists and allegations otherwise are groundless on false.

The United Nations has said at least a million Muslims are being detained in camps there.

Last year, a report by German researcher and Washington think tank claimed that Chinese authorities have subjected Muslims in the province to forced sterilization, abortion and other abuses.

The Trump administration called the claims horrific at the time, yeah.
