The organic sentiments are real, but they’re also manipulated by inorganic “offensive cyberspace operations.”
For example: A Reddit AMA Claiming To Be A Uyghur Quickly Exposes A CIA Asset Slandering China
Previously.
I'm not seeing anything in that article saying she isn't Uyghur. It mentions that she has a degree from Xinjiang University which is located in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.
I think you could better word your post to reflect that you're suspicious about her claims for who she has worked for instead of her being Uyghur, if I understood correctly what's happening
Uyghur or not, she was lying for US empire. Previously:

I think the other guy is correct. She's probably Uyghur but her claims is not trustworthy. If I recall correctly she also said in the AMA that she worked for Radio Free Asia, which the redditors didn't saw as a problem.
