Yes it does, see Identifying reliable sources and WP:LINKFARM.

Dr. Paul George has absolutely zero credentials on Xinjiang or Uyghurs, no PHd in Xinjiang area studies or Uyghurs, and he cites absolutely no sources for the claims in his article, plus CANADIAN SECURITY INTELLIGENCE SERVICE is a political organization associated with the Canadian government and not an academic or scholarly publisher.

Absolutely no sources were cited by Dr. Paul George for his claims and I'm still waiting to see his PhD on Xinjiang history or area studies.Rajmaan (talk) 04:23, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

 * You're talking about only one nation-Chinese. There are 55 ethnic groups in China.Where is false information?

There are 55 officially recognized native ethnic minorities in China. Some groups are still fighting for recognition as minorities. In the 1964 Census, there were 183 nationalities registered, of which the government recognized 54.

Large-scale population transfers transformed the Han Chinese share of the total population in Xinjiang from 6 to over 40 percent, and the government has been accused of "ethnic dilution" in the region through tactics such as waiving the one-child policy for Han Chinese migrants to Xinjiang, and registering the children of mixed couples as solely Chinese. Muslim residents have expressed resentment at "being treated as second-class citizens in their homeland". Beijing has encouraged massive investment in the region and Uyghurs feel that they are gradually losing not only their lands and autonomy, but also their identity. In its 2007 annual report to the U.S. Congress, the Congressional-Executive Commission on China said the Chinese government "provides incentives for migration to the region from elsewhere in China.

Discriminatory policies favouring the Han Chinese over the local peoples in access to jobs, education, health care and other services in Xinjiang.

Ethnic minorities in China accuse Chinese government of pursying a policy of forced assimilation, cultural genocide and religious repression. An ethnic minority source from Xinjiang stated: "The Chinese authorities harden state policies and adopted measures that control, interfere and deliberately manipulate minority communities' life. Local authorities abuse their power to police and dictate the day-to-day existence of our communities. It is an impossible way of living that is gradually erasing our culture and tradition. China is staging a silent cultural genocide in Xinjian that no one seems willing to halt."

Also the 14th Dalai Lama calls China’s practices “cultural genocide”.

Chinese President Xi Jinping said on April 2014, that the government could impose tougher controls on its ethnic minorities.
