China: How is Beijing whitewashing its Xinjiang policy?

> Since Xi came to power in 2013, Xinjiang has become a heavily militarized zone with increased high-tech security and widespread digital surveillance. Over 1 million #Uyghurs are reportedly detained in so-called "reeducation camps."

'Religious' crimes: China's Uyghur villages hide their secrets after Xinjiang crackdown

#Cina: continuano i crimini contro l’umanità verso uiguri e musulmani nello #Xinjiang.

"Dal 2017, il governo cinese ha effettuato un attacco diffuso e sistematico contro gli uiguri e i musulmani turcofoni nello Xinjiang.

Comprendono detenzioni arbitrarie di massa, tortura, sparizioni forzate, sorveglianza di massa, persecuzioni culturali e religiose, separazione delle famiglie, lavoro forzato, violenza sessuale e violazioni dei diritti riproduttivi."

@kevinrns Building out renewables is a positive, but you must also be willing to criticize #China for failing to transition away from fossil fuels. China is, according to https://climateactiontracker.org/, lagging the #US, #Europe & #Japan and "highly insufficient" despite the renewable built out.

Anything to say about the fact that China's solar build-out is using forced labor of #Uyghurs? Or is "speed" more important than #humanrights?

So #XiJinping went on a visit to #Xinjiang. And guess what? He called for even more #repression and #surveillance against #muslims aka #Uyghurs. He just happens to call it "control illegal religious activities".
Not that #China has been sanctioned for a #cutluralgenocide in Xinjiang or anything, right?
Shameless. And yeah: the only legal god in China is Baba Xi himself.

Just in case you wonder why #Uighurs, #Uyghurs, are so important to the #CIA and State Department they fabricate stories about "#China Concentration/Torture Camps"... I mean BESIDES THE FACT Uighurs are found in large numbers in #Islamists #terrorists formations like #ISIS, funded by those two aforementioned agencies. #Geopolitics

Yet another informative video on why you shouldn’t buy stuff from sites like Temu (or at least be aware of who’s paying the real price for your ten dollar smartwatch).

And we’re not even talking about the environmental consequences or your own safety (electrical, chemical or infosec safety).

Of course, most #Tibetans & #Uyghurs have been blocked from emigrating, or even traveling abroad from China for more than 10+ years. It shouldn't be any surprise that emigrations restrictions may impact Han Chinese too.

Controversial #Chinese company BGI Genomics found to have worked with at least 16 UK universities

The genome sequencing company also administers #China’s National Gene Bank, which is part of the state surveillance of minorities that facilitates the mass detention of #Uyghurs

China is pressuring Uyghurs living abroad to spy on human rights campaigners by threatening families back home, researchers say. Refugees and activists tell the BBC intimidating tactics are tearing communities apart.

"This catastrophe does not end with our community. The defense of Uyghurs’ human rights is the defense of human rights everywhere. If repression can be contagious, so can justice. Humanity’s shared values have a broader reach than any autocrat."

We live in a world where the burning of a single Quran in Europe generates more outrage by so-called "leaders" in the #Islamic world than the destruction of thousands of #Mosques & the criminalization of nearly all #Muslim #Uyghurs religious & cultural expression in #China

In fact, these same "leaders" will praise the latter.

Very depressing to believe I wrote this piece, about how the "leaders" of the #Muslim world were ignoring the plight of the #Uyghurs, 5 years ago.

And that nothing has changed, either in the Islamic world, or in #China.

Once upon a time, presidential candidates used to be well educated in the world affairs. Nowadays, any bozo with a big mouth to rouse up the base but no education can become a candidate.
