Xinjiang police files reveal details of Uyghur internment in China | USA TODAY

Beijing's incarceration of ethnic minorities is creating a slow-motion genocide, experts say. An exclusive new report offers a look inside.

The Chinese government views the Uyghurs as a threat in part because some have sought greater autonomy or even a separate state. Officials have portrayed detention centers as "vocational education and training centers" – benevolent, state-run schools designed to help stamp out extremism. Zenz and others say they are internment facilities, designed to stamp out Uyghur identity and culture.

The photos, databases and other information in the files paint a picture of China's detention and internment of the Uyghur Muslims and other ethnic minorities – one that sharply contradicts the Communist Party's official line.

Photos show guards standing over detainees, holding heavy wooden batons. Riot teams enter a barred cell, automatic rifles raised and ready. Other detainees are marched, some in handcuffs and shackles.

      Peace…
      There is enough proof, evidence, and sources that show a more clear and factual explanation of the variety of situations, which do not support the Western Propagandistic Narratives and debunk much of the material…

      I have shared a few videos and articles, which the entire information must be found by searching the internet with the information that I shared about the Quora discussions…

      Sharing more videos is challenging since free speech and expression is being restricted and factual, educational material is blocked by YouTube’s algorithmic process…

      Perceptual interpretations which are poisoned with prejudicial discrimination and individuals applying for asylum who must exaggerate and lie about what is happening in Western China…

      Just because I am providing information that you don’t agree with does not make me some paid actor…

      Factual information needs to be shared to inform those who have the ability of logical thinking…

      It is important for us to be informed with all of the information available to us before we make any decisions upon what is actually happening in Xinjiang with the Uyghur population…

      The report about the genocide in Xinjiang, China has not been peer-reviewed…

      *”What do people think about (name not allowed; far-right Christian Canadian who has never been to Xinjiang) new report about Uyghurs, saying Chinese birth-control policy could cut millions of Uyghur births?”*

      “The population of northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region reached 25.85 million by October 2020, an 18.5 percent rise from the country’s sixth population census in 2010.

      The population growth rate in the region over the past decade was higher than the country’s average, the latest data released Monday (June 14, 2021) by the regional statistic bureau showed.”

      China began to carry out the One-Child policy in late 1970s, but mainly on Han Chinese, including me, and loosened a little bit to for a couple, who are both single child of their respective families, could have a second child in 2011, then to for a couple, as long as either of them is a single child, could have a second child in 2015, and then to all couple could have a second child in 2016, and recently, Chinese government began to encourage a couple to have a third child.

      From this process we can see at least two important points:

      First, without China’s birth-control policy, with the huge population basis back then, how big would China’s population be today?

      I once read about an estimation putting it at about 2.6 billion, nearly double today’s 1.41 billion (from China’s latest 7th census”

      *”Why is the USA so concerned about Xinjiang and China?”*

      Lawrence B. Wilkerson, a retired United States Army Colonel and former chief of staff to United States Secretary of State Colin Powell, once said in a speech in 2018:

      “We are in Afghanistan as we were in Germany post WWII……It’s nothing to do with in Kabul for state building, nothing to do with fighting Taliban, or proving we can reconcile with the Taliban, and nothing to do with fighting any terrorist groups……It’s everything to do with three primitive strategic objectives: …..”

      So, the US concerns about Xinjiang and the Uygurs in order to “strike China’s most vital trade route”, the Silk Road Economic Belt, which runs westward through China’s northwestern regions including Xinjiang, then across the Central Asia, Western Asia where Afghan locates.

      “To destabilize China, foment unrest”. 

      And actually, the US had taken actions to do these much earlier than 2018. 

      So what he said in 2018, was not a kind of “plan”, but sort of “work report”.

      From 2008 till 2014 there were numerous terror attacks across Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, killing hundreds of local innocent people, and police forces, etc., including Uygurs, Hans, even some from other ethnic minorities.

      And once the attempt of “fostering terrorists and terrorism” in Xinjiang was failed, they are now taking a new approach:

      Waging a propaganda war to demonize China by accusing CPC of “genocide”, without any solid evidence, other than several fabricated “reports”.”

    2. @2:33 The source of image can be googled as “xinjiangpolicefiles org tekes-detention-center-security-drills”. Even those who provide the “evidence” say they are drill images from tekes detention center. According to the Arian’s xinjiangpolicefiles site: “These images show internment camp police security drills at the Tekes County Detention Center from 2018, taken by the detention center photographer. It is assumed that these are drills and not actual escape attempts. The geolocation and detailed analysis of these images can be found in the research report. ”

      Interesting that USA today did not even spend 5 minutes to trace the source of the image and call them drills. It showed both its compentence and motive. 99% of the comments showed general lack of independent thinking and sheep like behavior.

  2. for years people have been denying this. but as biden says. it’s just a difference in cultures. sorry old man but genocide isn’t just a difference in culture.

      Peace be unto you…
      Do you know about the different types and sects of Islam they practice in Western China?

      Do you know about the different ethnic tribes in the region of Western China?

      The issue is against extremist Far-right Salafism and the practices that lead this sect of Muslims to become political-religious and support separatist activities that harm innocent people…

      Freedom of religion is allowed as long as it does not harm society and/or oppress others from practicing freely what they choose…

  9. I didn’t agree with the comment that China is one of the highest achieving countries, what people tend to forget is, a few decades ago, Western countries sent production off shore to China to save a buck on production, before this took place China had nothing. The same can be said for india and other related countries as well.
