If you discovered that a communist dictatorship had confirmed reports showing that over one million citizens of a particular faith and ethnicity were in concentration camps, would you not be concerned? Then if you had evidence that this authoritarian government had economic and philosophical motivations to eliminate the entire ethnic group, wouldn’t you think the international community should start investigating?
This was already the reality for the Uighur people in China prior to COVID-19. Now, with the rest of the world concerned with a serious, yet distracting global pandemic, the Coronavirus has become the perfect smokescreen for the Chinese government. The Chinese government has been promoting vast propaganda campaigns, barred foreigners and journalists from entering the country, and finally, and most disturbingly, has reports of overflowing crematoriums in Wuhan. It’s time we start asking some difficult questions.
“The fascist Chinese government wants to eliminate the Uighur people of Xinjang, the entire population of Xinjang, right in front of the eyes of the world,” a Uighur (pronounced wi-gur) refugee declares in front of the cameras from various international news organizations. He and many other refugees cry to the world while they pray in a mosque in Istanbul, an act for which they could be imprisoned in China. The communist regime feels that the minority group’s Islamic faith makes them defiant and more likely to disobey the staunchly authoritarian Chinese government. In addition, the Uighur’s strong cultural ties to the province of Xinjang poses a problem for the government that is in the process of building the Chinese Belt and Road initiative, a multi-trillion dollar infrastructure project that is designed to restore Chinese dominance in both economic and international affairs. Unfortunately, this huge infrastructure project would cut through the Uighur’s indigenous homeland. Thus, the Chinese government has strong philosophical and economic motivations to, “solve the Uighur problem”, by any means necessary.
These allegations would seem overly dramatic were it not for the fact that several independent sources have confirmed that in 2015, China forcibly uprooted over 1,000,000 Uighurs from their homes, and moved them into concentration camps.
A few brave journalists from the international community, including several from the New York Times, were bold enough to investigate what was really happening to the Uighurs. Through their work, important documents were leaked and the harsh reality of what was really happening to the Uighurs in the concentration camps and prisons was exposed.
What they discovered was that the Uighurs were undergoing severe brutalization, starvation, and torture at the hands of the Chinese regime. The Chinese claim these prisons are voluntary vocational education (or re-education) camps to fight religious extremism. Documents of the alleged “crimes” for which they are being detained include having a beard, having too many children, women wearing veils, being born after 1990, and having relatives living abroad. These alleged crimes solidify that the Uighurs are being targeted for their Islamic faith in a country where religion is outlawed and viewed as a threat to the Communist regime. According to the authoritarian Chinese government, these expressions of their faith and ethnicity have condemned them to a life in forced labor camps where they are stripped of their freedoms, and even more alarmingly, their heritage. As such, the Uighurs are being forced to assimilate to the Communist Party’s vision of an acceptable Chinese citizen. Even for those who remain outside of the camps, there is no real freedom as they are under constant surveillance by the Communist Party’s guards.
If that wasn’t bad enough, The New York Times has even reported that, “Chinese companies are selling facial recognition systems that they claim can tell when a person is a Uighur, as well as collecting blood samples from Uighurs and others to build new tools for tracking members of minority groups.” In some cases, western scientists and companies have provided help with those efforts due to a widespread Chinese operation to infiltrate American universities and steal our taxpayer-funded research and intellectual property. Many of these stories have gone widely unnoticed, or have been downplayed to the American population as a whole due to political correctness by the mainstream media.

Curious Why US News Networks Are Supportive of Chinese Government?
Just Look at the Corporate Ownership
There have been a number of disturbing reactions in the press when it comes to the coverage of the coronavirus outbreak. From the distortion of the administration's actions to the contradictions in the critiques to the focus on only negative outcomes, the media complex has been notably obnoxious. One of the other truly disturbing actions has been the coverage of China and its role in all of this global pandemic strife.
These are questions not to be posed by our journalist class. While many are dismayed at the fawning behavior of our media elites regarding a communist regime it starts to come into focus when a larger picture is drawn up. To show the motivations behind this journalistic curiosity it helps to look first at Hollywood. Read More
Slavery in Modern China
China is one of the Worlds oldest Nations, and slavery has been part an integral aspect of its culture since the first Emperor at the very least. As a legal institution, in pre-Communist China, it was abolished in 1909, but is believed to have continued clandestinely for many decades thereafter.
In modern Communist China, it is believed that slavery is a way of life for many. As of 2016 The Global Slavery Index estimated that over 3.8 million people lived as 'slaves' in China. [1] A good portion of it is not Government sanctioned.
In 2016 the Chinese Ministry of Public Security investigated over 1,000 cases and arrested over 2,000 suspects. Some slaves were sex slaves, others were forced laborers. Non Government forced labor in China is from time to time exposed. Vietnamese workers are exploited as de facto slaves in the sugarcane industry in Southern China. They are smuggled in by Vietnamese gangs and Chinese human smuggling syndicates across Chinas southern border, in much the same fashion that Mexicans and central Americans come across America's southern border..
