The Discovery Channel has partnered with 
propaganda outlet CGTN to produce a series of English-language videos presenting a sanitized look at Xinjiang, the northwestern region where the US assesses that Beijing is carrying out genocide against Uyghurs.
The CGTN-Discovery series, called the “World’s Ultimate Frontier”, is made up of five half-hour videos in which three foreign hosts take the viewer around Xinjiang to showcase various cultural sites and athletic activities in the region.
At no point in the documentary does it mention the Communist Party’s implementation of an Orwellian system replete with high-tech mass surveillance, a network of detention facilities, and forced labor practices.
Instead, the documentary backs key Chinese propaganda tropes that have been identified by human-rights groups, including the idea that happy, dancing Uyghurs often spontaneously fill the streets of Xinjiang’s cities and that people are free to worship as they please.
“The Chinese Communist Party produces enough propaganda without the help of an American media company. I don’t understand how Warner Bros Discovery, who claims to be a ‘champion for inclusion and equity,’ would allow themselves to be complicit in whitewashing the Communist Party’s forced labor and genocide in Xinjiang.”
