La repressione degli #Uiguri in #Cina continua.
"Le autorità cinesi hanno sottoposto uiguri e altri musulmani turchi a detenzioni arbitrarie di massa, detenzioni ingiuste, sorveglianza intrusiva e lavoro forzato."

Repression of Uyghurs Persists as the World Moves On

Dozens of my family members, including my father, have disappeared into China’s system of mass incarceration over the past decade simply for being Uyghurs. When international attention to our plight surged, I believed there would be enough pressure to secure the release of my loved ones. Yet, eight years into my father’s enforced disappearance, I still have no information about his whereabouts, health or the allegations that led to his imprisonment. Meanwhile, the world’s attention has moved on.

'Since when has the Left considered the political status of a territory millennia in the past to have any bearing on the justice of its political configuration in the present? What business is it of today’s radicals to plumb dynastic chronicles to decide whether this or that piece of land rightfully “belongs” to a modern state?'

@crispius If the US
can purport to track products done somewhere in #China by #Uyghurs, surely they can track the Venezuelan oil?

China approves a law promoting 'ethnic unity'

China has adopted a sweeping ethnic unity law that critics say tightens assimilation and weakens minority rights. On Thursday, legislators at the National People’s Congress approved it. A delegate says it aims to build a shared national identity across every group and workplace. Scholars say the law undercuts promised autonomy in China’s constitution and ethnic autonomy rules. It mandates Mandarin as the primary teaching language in compulsory education. Experts said language about mixing communities are also concerning and say it could lead to the break up of minority neighborhoods. The law also opens penalties for actions abroad that Beijing says harm ethnic unity.

China’s rubber-stamp parliament set to approve ‘ethnic unity’ law

New legislation will require schools to use Mandarin by default, taking priority over minority ethnic languages such as Tibetan, Uyghur and Mongolian

This isn't said with any angst or any I told you so. I can't look at the world that way anymore. But I do believe that between patience and preparation, it's Xi's oyster. And I don't have it twisted, I do not believe that he is a nice person at all. Ask #Uyghurs #Tibet #Muslims

it’s holding of over one million ethnic #Uyghurs in concentration camps, it’s secret police stations at embassies around the world, it’s system of disappearances for Chinese dissenters, and it’s failing economy with persistent property and economy woes. 2/4
