China is the rising superpower with nuclear weapons. That limits our options.
Only a fool would consider starting a war with China. And its the most populous country on earth.
No...it doesn’t.
They are muzloids and let the other muzloids stand up for them. The USA shouldn’t be saying anything
No.
Yeah, no. The uigurs are Moslems and have launched numerous knife and sword attacks. These camps are very uncool but they aren’t Aushwitz. It’s basically city sized forced trade and charm school where they are trained to not be moslem misfits
But its idiotic to look for war with China on behalf of Islamic freedom
We have important concerns to work out with China. We need to focus on Trade and Military matters.
The issues between China and the Muslims is not our affair at all.
Isn’t this type of problem what the UN was organized for? Many countries, mainly the US, pay vast sums of money for the UN to take care of business. If the UN is all hot air, then it’s time to deflate the balloon and pack it in.
My first order response, too.
While it seems like many of them are mild, rural, peasant Muslims, and they are being badly mistreated, it is also why China, after a number of crazed knife attacks from that population, wants to suppress Islam. Especially when it sees what the Islamist movement is doing all over the world.
We’ve armed the Saudis.
Let them take it on.
FREE TIBET!!!
I did not know that Uighur was a US state.
Prior to 911, that was part of Bin Ladin’s mission, to train muslims from central asia including Uighurs, Chechens, and others from the various ‘Stans. The idea was to peel those areas away from Moscow and Beijing. With the Saudis as our guide, we would be the heros of the muslim world.
Since 911 (and Beslan), since the Afghan War, and ISIS, and Al Qaeda, and the Taliban and all that, helping the muslims build a Central Asian caliphate doesn’t seem like such a brilliant idea anymore. We’ll probably sit this one out. I’m sure the Saudis are messing around in Xinjiang, and if there is anything we need to know about it we can just ask them. We should stay out of it.
These articles always neglect to mention that part. China endured plenty of provocation from violent Uyghur separatists before cracking down, even if their typically Communist over-the-top response is worthy of condemnation.
No. No it doesn’t.
More than anybody, the country of Turkey should be making sharp protest to the Chinese for the treatment of their ethnic brethren.
Muslims everywhere should be protesting to the Chinese. After all, isn’t China supposed to submit to the peace of Islam? That is the deal they want for the United States....
Thanks for adding the balance this piece lacked.
Why? It’s not our problem. Let their Muslim “brothers” take up the cause if they wish.
My ass! The Turks are the Uighur's kinsmen and their coreligionists, let the Turks lead the charge against the Chinese.
The recent leak of classified data from China by the New York Times confirmed the existence of a vast web of political prison camps that Xinjiang expert Adrian Zenz of the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation now believes number between 1,300 and 1,400.
The data leak, now termed the Xinjiang Papers, traces the massive repression and internment directly to the very top of the Chinese political system. There can be no doubt that Xi Jinping sold this modern phenomenon in speeches and enabled Xinjiang Party Secretary Chen Quanguo to orchestrate it. The proposal of mass collectivization and arbitrary detention of nearly 2 million people was apparently objected to by some members of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The Xinjiang Papers reveals that those who objected were subsequently purged.
There is no shortage of reasons why anyone might object to these camps. Prisoners in the camps are subject to reeducation reminiscent of the Cultural Revolution. Forced to recant their religious beliefs or at least make them conform with the CCP’s ends...
No it doesn’t! We have sensitive trade negotiations with China. If China frees the Uighers, they will stab other Chinese.
