A lot of people would compare the Han Chinese to Israeli Zionists, but they’re wrong. The distinction is, with our mongrels, after we seize their lands, force them into reeducation labor camps, and resettle their lands, we give them an opportunity to rejoin society (if they comply, lolol). Inner Mongolia, you’re next!

I’m far from an expert, but my understanding is that Western mainstream coverage on this stuff can’t be taken at face value (to put it lightly) because the most commonly cited source is Adrian Zenz - a hardcore Evangelical working for the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation (US backed group who take the Black Book of Communism’s death toll as their official line, and who are responsible for trying to add global COVID deaths to the death toll of Communism). Supposedly he believes he’s on a mission from god to expose the evils of the Chinese Communist party.
So are there abuses happening toward ethnic and religious minorities within China? Possibly, though it’s incredibly difficult to get objective sources on this. Should you view the official Western line with extreme suspicion? Definitely.
Here’s the wiki article on the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victims_of_Communism_Memorial_Foundation
I’m sure someone more informed than I am will chime in on this with more detail.
This is some shady stuff, but corporate media is much more interested in getting their sources from right wing actors that will exaggerate than actually do investigative journalism. There’s a small number of left wing sources that do confirm mass repression and arbitrary imprisonment. The sensational claims of the world uyghur congress, and some of Zenz’s interpretations of public data are not supportable.
A good report is from an anthropologist who was doing ethnography in Xinjiang for years named Darren Byler who’s written a lot about it including his PhD thesis. There’s also a book on the Han perspective that was published a few years ago called Oil and Water: Being Han in Xinjiang.
Alright so to my knowledge with the fall of Isis many Muslims who used to fight for them are now returning to Uyghurland, and have commited several terrorist attacks there (this might not actually be quite accurate - it seems there have been muslim terrorist attacks for quite some time), now China uses it´s materialist powers (powered by the immortal science of marxism-leninism) to see why this happens. Their conclusion: they are uneducated, often don´t speak the main chinese language and generally have a bad lot to participate in the chinese economy and culture. So they build re-education camps to teach the main language, etc. As far as I know it´s actually working out pretty well and there haven´t been any terrorist attacks for quite some time now

It’s almost fucking comedic at this point seeing his fucking fingerprints on everything
The evidence has been compiled by German anthropologist Dr Adrian Zenz, whose research was instrumental in raising the profile of the security build-up and mass detention of Uighurs in China’s remote Xinjiang province.
If you’re unfamiliar with Zenz, he’s a far right evangelical and senior fellow of the Victims of Communism Memorial Fund, which is the group constantly pushing the Communism Killed 100 Million People! narrative. He believes he’s on a mission from God to destroy Chinese communism. His research methods are laughable. He basically just makes shit up and it gets repeated uncritically by outlets like this.
“Zenz is a born-again Christian. He stated that he feels “led by God” in his research on Chinese minority groups.”
Yo Zenz literally works for a think tank fucking started by the CIA. Jamestown foundation
did you know that the US has 20 million citizens in re-education camps? the biggest one is called ‘liberty university’. how dystopian
