China sterilising ethnic minority women in Xinjiang, report says
The Guardian ^ | 06/29/2020

Posted on 06/29/2020 1:51:57 PM PDT by BenLurkin

Chinese authorities are carrying out forced sterilisations of women in an apparent campaign to curb the growth of ethnic minority populations in the western Xinjiang region, according to research published on Monday.

The report, based on a combination of official regional data, policy documents and interviews with ethnic minority women, has prompted an international group of lawmakers to call for a United Nations investigation into China’s policies in the region.

The move is likely to enrage Beijing, which has denied trampling on the rights of ethnic groups in Xinjiang, and which on Monday called the allegations “baseless”.

The country is accused of locking more than one million Uighurs and other mostly Muslim minorities in re-education camps. Beijing describes the facilities as job training centres aimed at steering people away from terrorism following a spate of violence blamed on separatists.

A report by Adrian Zenz, a German researcher who has exposed China’s policies in Xinjiang, says Uighur women and other ethnic minorities are being threatened with internment in the camps for refusing to abort pregnancies that exceed birth quotas.

Brutal, but they are still alive and within a foreign country’s power.

We have always known China is this way.

"Beijing describes the facilities as job training centres aimed at steering people away from terrorism"

Am I supposed to pick the side of the communists or the Muslims?

The Chinese Communists must be mellowing out a little. Mao would not have sterilized them, he would have shot them.

China has understood the threat of Islam and is acting accordingly, given China’s own 5000 year old unbroken type of sytsem. Previous dynasties would simply have slaughtered the threatening minority. Europe has surrendered its future and will itself be Moslem this century. America may follow. It is a voluntary surrender that becomes convert or die. Islam will, if allowed to proliferate in China and the West will convert eventually them to a technologically advanced Islamic world which will lose that technology and will not be able to feed the population which will necessarily shrink. Islamic societies are essentially 8th century and can seem to advance into the modern world, at least in arms and tech available to the rulers so long as the modern world is largely nonIslamic. An Islamic world will convert most arable land to semi arid semi desert.

So what’s supposed to be the difference between Nazis and Communists again? I’m finding it increasingly difficult to recall...
