THE UYGHURS

​Last month you learned about the ethnic cleansing in Tibet. This month, we will look at what the Chinese communist party has done in Xinjiang.
 
Xinjian is a huge, remote province in Northwestern, China, nearly as large as Alaska. It makes up 1/6 of China, but is home to only 25 million people, including 11 million Uyghurs. The Uyghurs are a Muslim people of Turkish descent with a distinctive culture, history, and language, and like Tibet, Xinjiang is an important buffer zone against the turmoil of central Asia and is rich with natural resources.
 
From the beginning, Mau and the Communist sought to ethically cleanse the province. The party settled millions of ethnic Chinese into Xinjian and relegated Uyghurs to second class status. This caused inevitable tensions between the two groups. Shortly after taking power, Xi accelerated communist repression of the Uyghurs into a genocidal campaign. He instructed local authorities to show “absolutely no mercy. “

​​The Communist Party started building concentration camps. Then, a few years later, Xi reassigned to Xinjiang none other than Chen Quanguo, who imported the brutal tactics he had perfected in Tibet. He massively expanded the concentration camps and initiated, the systematic genocide of Uyghur culture.
 
At least 2 million people, mostly Uyghurs, were interned in these camps. The main objective of the camps is to brainwash the Uyghurs and destroy their way of life. The guards beat, torture, starve, and gang-rape prisoners to force them to submit. They murder those who don’t. And to wipe out the next generation of Uyghurs, the party uses forced sterilization and insertion of contraceptive devices.

​​The party is simultaneously destroying Uyghur culture outside the camps.  Communist enforcers have desecrated more than ¾ of the mosques in Xinjiang, confiscated religious items from private homes, and even bulldozed Muslim graveyards. Those not in concentration camps are enslaved in factories around China.
​
The “Becoming Family“ initiative forces families to welcome more than 1 million Chinese outsiders into Uyghur homes. Households must provide food, bedding, and other accommodations for these live-in spies, who monitored the Uyghur behavior, search their homes for incriminating materials, and even recruit their kids to inform on their parents. Terribly but unsurprisingly, these live in spies often become live in sexual predators, too.

​The party also takes extreme measures to leave the Uyghurs defenseless against these abuses. As in all of China, of course, gun ownership is strictly prohibited. Families can keep only two knives in their homes: one small vegetable knife, and one larger knife (often a meat cleaver). Both knives carry QR barcodes for tracking, and the larger knife must be chained to the kitchen counter.
 
As you can see from what China is doing to Tibet and Xinjiang, socialism/communism demand reeducation to make all people conform to the ideology.  They destroy religion, enslave millions, invade privacy and take away all freedom.  Their goal is the destruction of individuality.

​And yet, who is complaining?  NATO?  The United Nations?  The United States? We have people in the U.S. selling their land (almost 400,000 acres) to China.  Businesses that become rich selling goods produced by slave labor in China. We are not even moved when places like Amazon sell Chinese made goods including Christmas decorations while they kill people who practice their religion.  Are you surprised to know that China makes clothing for the Gap, Victoria’s Secret, Tommy Hilfiger and NIKE? Do you care?

​We unfortunately are inundated with protests regarding transexual rights, abortion rights, hatred of Musk and burning of his cars, rights to sex change, hatred of Jews and on and on, but little attention or protest is done for people’s rights in China.  The media and the public are more interested in political division and squabbling than the harvesting of organs from executed political prisoners in China.
 
We could change that.
