Xi’s crackdown on the region and its Uyghur population has been labeled an attempted genocide by some governments, human rights groups and legal bodies.
Chinese authorities have detained at least 1 million people in detention and reeducation centres and enacted mass surveillance and systematic oppression of religious and cultural expression. Religious and cultural sites have been destroyed or largely closed off to religious observers, according to research groups. The UN last year found credible evidence of torture and other human rights abuses of Uyghur people, while Human Rights Watch and legal watchdogs say crimes against humanity have been committed.
Maybe he should do like Nero and throw them to the lions in the circus.
If you look at a map of China’s BRI the reason behind this is obvious; half of China’s major Asian BRI projects go right through the Uyghur territory of Xinjiang. Any kind of rebellion that puts the BRI projects at risk is simply unacceptable to China’s strategic goals.
I’m wondering what China’s potential BRICS partners like Saudi Arabia and Egypt and possibly others say. I mean, Islam is the state religion these countries, and China declares that “illegal religious activities.” Can someone enlighten me?
They absolutely love it and are asking China to help them implement it in their own countries. What people don’t understand is this isn’t about stopping or oppressing the Islamic religion. What China is doing is turning the Islamic religion into a state controlled apparatus. They weren’t destroying mosques, they were rebuilding them in China’s image.
They didn’t stop people from worshipping Allah, they made it so that if you worship Allah, you’re also worshiping the CCP. For all of that, Saudi Arabia and Egypt are incredibly jealous. They too want the Islamic religion to become a state controlled enterprise. What China is creating is a state controlled religion. One that all the other Islamic states want a taste of. This is why Turkey is quiet on this. While part of NATO, Turkey wants a piece of that action too.
They don’t care. Religion is a tool of the authorities, not a code they live by
Reeducation or brain washing
Never again
