+OverSword Posted May 1, 2020 #1 Share Posted May 1, 2020 (edited) Quote A special undercover report from China’s secretive Xinjiang region. FRONTLINE investigates the Communist regime’s mass imprisonment of Muslims, and its use and testing of sophisticated surveillance technology against the Uyghur community. Documentary Below the video are links to related subjects. This is a truly terrifying subject that I feel everyone should be aware of so we can urge our governments to take action to discourage the insanity going on in the PRC.

You can't seem to make your mind up on this issue. I realize your reflexive support for China isn't going to change no matter what evidence is provided but I seem to recall catching a lot of flak from you when I make statements regarding Islamic fundamentalist culture. Are you saying nothing unusual is being done to Uyghurs? How do you square both support for Islamic fundys and also support for a communist government that is horribly mistreating them? I'm genuinely curious to understand how you can support both things at the same time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, I have no need to convince anyone of why I'm concerned about terrible treatment against people who seemingly are no threat. If the Uyghurs are carrying out violence against China then by all means, stop them from killing and terrorizing. That doesn't seem to be the case here. It seems the CCP have decided to beat conformity into civilians whose only crime is to have a religious tradition and culture unlike their neighbors in that region. Do you reject the premise the documentary is positing? Are you saying that the CCP isn't doing this at all or is it that you feel they are justified in taking such action? I'll go through your links. At a glance, it seems that the CCP is trying to head off a fundamentalist insurgency. I just haven't heard of any attacks inside China by fundy Muslims. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't care to plainly speak to the issue then okay. You seem to enjoy playing at being some kind of sage and it just seems like a dodge when you don't want to explain a point of discussion. The closest I can come to deciphering the dirty linen display is that maybe this ethnic group happen to be Islamic but they somehow disrespect the culture of others in China? OTOH, if they truly are devoutly Muslim then the CCP may be trying to handle the issue in a better way than communist countries typical fix such challenges. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no doubt that there is a measure of that with our current virus pandemic. These hate filled, hysterical mouth breathers will align with satan himself if they could just get rid of Trump. But this particular issue seems a bit confusing to me. I'll have to spend the time to get the background. I can't tell if the real problem there is about religious intolerance or if it's more of a clash of cultures on a smaller scale. Either way, forcibly detaining non-violent people and keeping them in a re-education program against their will isn't what humane systems of government call for. I guess the world should just mind its own business and take heart that Xi and the boys don't employ a more final solution. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's partly about the repression of the Uyghur people, their imprisonment (re-education) the displacement of that ethnicity by moving huge numbers of ethnic majority Chinese into the area and the consequent repression resulting from that which is all heartbreaking but of more concern to how this could end up having a more direct negative effect on the rest of the world is the technology developed and now being exported which is instrumental in the oppression of the Uyghurs. It put's most previous concepts of Big Brother to shame and people need to be aware of it before it is back doored by governments all over the planet.
