China orders hospitals to abort, kill newborn babies of religious and ethnic minorities

Hospitals in Xinjiang were ordered by China’s Communist government to abort and kill all babies born in excess of its mandated family planning limits — including newborns born after being carried to full term — or face hefty fines, claims a new report.

Hasiyet Abdulla, a Uighur obstetrician who worked in multiple hospitals in northwest China’s Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region for 15 years, told Radio Free Asia that maternity wards implemented strict family-planning policies intended to restrict Uighurs and other ethnic minorities to three children.

“Every hospital had a family-planning unit that was responsible for implementation — who had how many kids, when they’d given birth to them — they tracked all of this,” she said.

“The regulations were so strict: there had to be three or four years between children. There were babies born at nine months who we killed after inducing labor. They did that in the maternity wards, because those were the orders.”

Abdulla told RFA that babies were aborted even if their mothers were “eight and nine months pregnant,” adding that in some cases, medical staff would “even kill the babies after they’d been born.”...

Estimates suggest that over 1 million to as many as 3 million Uighur Muslims and other minority groups in Western China have been subject to internment camps in Xinjiang.

A recent report documented how the religious minority has been subject to massacres, mass internment camps, torture, organ harvesting, and disappearances in addition to forced birth control and sterilization. The report also highlights the forcible transfer of children from their families to Chinese state orphanages or boarding homes.

In June, the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom argued that the forced sterilization of Uighur Muslims is “evidence of genocide.”

I'm sympathetic to the Uighurs, but mandatory abortions for non-minorities (so-called "Han", who are basically a polyglot mixture of peoples officially recognized as "Chinese") begin after 2 children, vs 3 for minorities (e.g. Uighurs, Mongols, Manchurians, Tibetans, et al). The doctor is right to complain about forced abortions, but disingenuous about discrimination against Uighurs. To the extent that that discrimination occurs re abortion - it's in favor of Uighurs, meaning they get one more child before it becomes mandatory.

Re the non-minority "Han", they're really a mishmash of ethnicities and languages. (If we're really lucky, they'll discover nationalism and split into the dozens of countries they were thousands of years ago, and we'll be spared the major confrontation that is coming in the decades ahead).

The Cooked and the Raw: A Dark Chinese History

The Middle Kingdom and 4 Barbarian idea was created during the early Zhou Dynasty 1046-256 BCE.

Once upon a time, there lived the Middle Kingdom (Huaxia 華夏). They boasted themselves as the most civilized empire of the world, and everyone else were considered Barbarians. The Dongyi 東夷 “Eastern Barbarians”, Nanman 南蠻 “Southern Barbarians”, Xirong 西戎 “Western Barbarians”, and Beidi 北狄 “Northern Barbarians”.

One year, the Emperor had an idea. Expand and civilize the barbarians into his civil subjects. He would propagate hundreds of thousands of troops to conquer, and “civilize” them to dress, act, eat and behave like his subjects, and bow to him as their emperor.

He called it, “The Cook & The Raw“ assimilation campaign. He would send his armies to these "Raw” barbarian villages, and “Cook” them. If they became cooked, they became his subjects. Those who didn’t want to be “Cooked”, were the “Raw” ones.

Ancient Ming Dynasty Military Garrison in Guizhou.

The Middle Kingdom would build military garrisons to watch over them, and build large Great Walls to keep the barbarians as boundaries. They even built more walls to separate and split the people apart, banned them from writing, and gave them uniforms so that they will never reunite as an entire civilization again.

“Southern Great Wall” built in the Ming Dynasty in Hunan.

Villages were plundered and burned down. Men were tortured and killed, Women and Young Girls were raped and sold off as slaves, and Boys were castrated to become eunuchs for the Emperor.

But some villages were lucky, and had their men sent off to fight against other “barbarians” (For example, Hainan island), where they never returned home. And local ethnic women of the land were encouraged to marry Middle Kingdom soldiers, raise Middle Kingdom children and adopt Middle Kingdom culture and languages.

Of course, after 5,000 years later, over hundreds and hundreds of these “barbarians” and their culture, writing and languages would become extinct through genocide and massacre, and occupied and replaced by the Middle Kingdom. DNA in many Southern Chinese show Northern Han Chinese paternal linage, and a mix Southern Ethnic ‘Chinese’ maternal linage.

Those who escaped became recognized as the “Official 56 ethnic groups of China”, with hundreds more undocumented and unrecognized. They are the today “Raw”.

And those who became “Cooked”, became the Cantonese, Hakka, Teochew, Fujian, Shanghainese, Hunanese, Yunnanese, Sichuannese, etc. etc. and became “Han Chinese”. Koreans and Vietnamese were mildly cooked.

There were many prior ethnic rebellions in Southern China that eventually would inspire the Taiping Rebellion against the Qing Dynasty.

Today, the new “Cook & Raw” method still continues. Many cultures and ethnic groups in China are quickly being displaced. Mandarin is replacing Shanghainese and Cantonese speaking provinces. Muslim Uighur women are banned from wearing hijabs, and through Chinese government monetary sentiments, Han Chinese now make up the majority ethnic group of Lhasa, the capital of Tibet.

Sinicization.

“I thought they were only limited to 1 or two.”

The whole of China was under the One Child Policy, from 1979 to 2015.

The Left had the tragically mistaken belief that this would somehow be good for the economy - so they murdered untold millions of children.

Recently, it became clear that the smaller graduating classes every year, and the fewer new families establishing households was actually a very fundamental drag on GDP, they reversed the policy, in hopes of maintaining their centrally planned GDP growth rates (which Party elites were eager to milk and spend on themselves).

Uighurs, and some other minorities, have continued to be oppressed by the enforcement organs developed by the Government during the One Child period - in a deliberate attempt to drive down their numbers, while they systematically attempt to destroy their culture.

Because of Chinese culture, there is a strong preference to have a boy to carry on the family name, and perform the boy’s duties for burial of the parents, and maintenance of their graves (and make more money working). So even beyond the catastrophic demographic effects of simply limiting families to one child, the disproportionate killing of girls (who are much more important to future birth rates) is going to drag out the negative effects of that evil policy even longer.

There are also social effects, with millions of young men left out of the mating game, because of the shortage of women.
