Japan and Australia voiced "serious concerns" on Wednesday over reports of human rights abuses against Uyghur and other Muslim minorities in China's far western region of Xinjiang, but Beijing dismissed the remarks as a malicious smear.

Calls have grown from some Western nations to investigate if actions in Xinjiang amount to genocide, as the US and parliaments in nations such as the UK and Canada have described China's policies there.

Chinese birth control policies could cut between 2.6 to 4.5 million births of the Uyghur and other ethnic minorities in southern Xinjiang within 20 years, up to a third of the region's projected minority population, according to a new analysis by a German researcher.

The report, shared exclusively with Reuters ahead of publication, also includes a previously unreported cache of research produced by Chinese academics and officials on Beijing's intent behind the birth control policies in Xinjiang, where official data shows birth-rates have already dropped by 48.7% between 2017 and 2019.

OPINIONNuclear power has lower carbon emissions than coal-fired electricity, but nuclear produces toxic waste that must be stored for centuries. This risks an environmental disaster.

Wind turbines are also low carbon but face another issue – the massive blades made of composites need replacement every 10 to 20 years. They cannot be recycled, repurposed or even crushed by a bulldozer.
