They were retweeting the same post with the same slogan, essentially a hashtag, so being word for word identical neither supports nor denies the gp argument. It's like a bunch of people retweeting the same tweet with the exact same words "Black lives matter!"

In other news, apparently one of the most popular streamers in China sold CNY 23.52 million worth of Xinjiang cotton products within an hour yesterday (with 12M views). https://www.zaobao.com.sg/realtime/china/story20210327-11345...

I haven't seen those posts. Can you link them? Again: not doubting you or criticizing you, I just want to read them myself.

Found it: https://weibo.com/2803301701/K7IpgaGqx?type=repost Slight correction to my original post: "essentially a hashtag" => "actually a hashtag". Most of the top retweets are just the hashtag or hashtag + emoji. Dilraba Dilmurat, a Uyghur actress, posted something more substantial.
