It is a fact.... one million muslims in reducation camps

ambivalentmace:

The backlash and resentment from this will cause hell in the next generation, the next generation of westernized Saudi citizens of wealthy families have done a lot of damage around the world.

 

Some people never learn from history, because they think like an arrogant elitists that they are that the previous elitists just didn't have their intellect or money, and they can do it better this time and make it work this time. Where have I heard that  before?

One-belt-road will be going through Xinjiang, so ... here are few ..

 

WSJ report:

 

https://chinadigitaltimes.net/2018/08/evidence-of-abuse-deaths-in-xinjia...

 

An investigative report by Eva Dou, Jeremy Page, and Josh Chin of the Wall Street Journal has found evidence that extralegal political re-education camps in  have expanded rapidly in recent months. Meanwhile, detainees have given accounts of abuse while family members have reported deaths of their loved ones in the camps. Experts have estimated that over a million people, from the Uyghur minority as well as other Muslim ethnic groups in China, have been held in camps where they are reportedly indoctrinated to show loyalty to the Communist Party and to disavow any religious beliefs. From the WSJ report:

Satellite images reviewed by The Wall Street Journal and a specialist in photo analysis show that camps have been growing. Construction work has been carried out on some within the past two weeks, including at one near the western city of Kashgar that has doubled in size since Journal reporters visited in November.

Adem yoq — “Everybody’s gone.” A human rights atrocity is unfolding in western China, where the “entire culture” of Uyghur Muslims is being effectively criminalized, scholars say. Arbitrary detentions in “transformation through education” centers have reportedly reached up to 1 million Muslims in the Xinjiang region.Let us explain.

 “Crimes Against Humanity” in Xinjiang Draw Attention 

Described by rights activist Michael Caster as “crimes against humanity,” the targeted persecution of ’s Muslim  is worsening, and journalistsacademics, and politicians are calling for awareness and action. Recent statistics show the region constituted 21% of all arrests in China last year, despite comprising just 1.5% of the national population. In addition, Professor Adrian Zenz demonstrated that “at least several hundred thousand, and possibly just over one million” Uyghurs have been detained in extralegal re-education camps which would not register in arrest statistics. Der Spiegel’s Bernhard Zand writes of a recent trip to Xinjiang:

“Qu xuexi,” meaning to go or be sent to study, is one of the most common expressions in Xinjiang these days. It is a euphemism for having been taken away and not having been seen or heard from since. The “schools” are re-education centers in which the detainees are being forced to take courses in Chinese and patriotism, without any indictment, due process or a fair hearing.

http://time.com/4992103/china-silk-road-belt-xi-jinping-khorgos-kazakhst...

 

By CHARLIE CAMPBELL / KHORGOS October 23, 2017

On China’s remote western frontier with Kazakhstan, yurts and camels are silhouetted against a piercing blue sky. Yet the most striking image rising from the desert is an entirely new city. Founded four years ago, Khorgos is poised to become the world’s busiest inland port, a vital link in China’s multi-billion dollar plan to re-create the Silk Road.

Some $8 billion of trade passes through each year, say Chinese officials. There’s a free-trade zone that welcomes 30,000 traders daily, and an industrial complex of factories where manufacturers enjoy perks such as two years of free rent courtesy of the Chinese government. At the customs gate, trucks line up stacked with agricultural equipment and huge cross sections of blue industrial piping, as blurry-eyed drivers chain-smoke out of their cab windows.

“Today, the ground of Khorgos is mud,” says Guo Jianbin, deputy director of the Khorgos Economic Development Zone administration committee, accenting his words with a booted stamp. “But soon it will be paved with gold.”

Khorgos is a linchpin in Chinese President Xi Jinping’s signature Belt and Road Initiative. Formerly known as One Belt One Road, it’s a rekindling of the ancient Silk Road through a staggeringly ambitious plan to build a network of highways, railways and pipelines linking Asia via the Middle East to Europe and south through Africa. The economic land “belt” takes cargo, in large part via Khorgos, through Eurasia. A maritime “road” links coastal Chinese cities via a series of ports to Africa and the Mediterranean. A total of 900 separate projects have been earmarked at a cost of $900 billion, according to the China Development Bank. There’s the $480 million Lamu deep-sea port in Kenya, which will eventually be connected via road, railway and pipeline to landlocked South Sudan and Ethiopia and right across Africa to Cameroon’s port of Douala. A new $7.3 billion pipeline from Turkmenistan will bring China an extra 15 billion cubic meters of gas annually. Not since the hordes of Genghis Khan galloped west in the 13th century have such sweeping transnational ambitions emanated from China, though instead of ashes and sun-bleached bones, this time the invaders plan to leave harbors, pipelines and high-speed rail in its wake.

“Exchange will replace estrangement, mutual learning will replace clashes, and coexistence will replace a sense of superiority,” Xi told the opening of the Belt and Road Forum in Beijing in May.

It’s a vision of inclusive globalization that bolsters Chinese leadership credentials at a time when the U.S. is wavering on its international commitments. Belt and Road spans some 65 countries, covering 70% of the planet’s population, three-quarters of its energy resources, a quarter of goods and services and 28% of global GDP—some $21 trillion. Beijing’s rationale is clear: these are large, resource-rich nations within its reach, with a severe infrastructure deficit, which China has the resources and expertise to correct. By boosting connectivity, China can spur growth in the short term, gain access to valuable natural resources in the mid term and create new booming markets for its goods long into the future.

In March, China’s Commerce Minister Zhong Shan said Chinese firms had already contributed 180,000 jobs and nearly $1.1 billion in tax revenue along the Belt and Road. Increasing numbers of Chinese engineers, crane operators and steel smelters stand to reap the benefits of maturing projects.

ambivalentmace:

There was a great middle east Persian empire once upon a time, when they stopped reading the quoran or killing infidels and actually ran great cities were people could send the kids to school boys and girls with out bombs, no bad water and rampant crime.

 

I am not sure how a great road and path will change anything, great roads ran through Europe in the 80's to Russia but payoffs and buying illegal fuel along the way and bribes to bandits was the only way to get a shipment through the area.

 

I hope that has changed but putting a high speed rail from South Africa to Gibraltor want change anything on the ground in regard to human behavior or responsible government subordinate to its citizens or a silk road to neanderthals, but I am very glad some other sucker (government) is paying the bill for this social experiment instead of the US.

If Syria gets stable and the fanatics migrate north, this problem could get a lot worse.

ScotsAlan:

Alan, if Europe keeps security tight and the fighters leave the area and return to Iran, thats fine, but, if Iran is in financial chaos and they head east and north, they will eventually create problems. Europe is cracking down, Turkey is already radicalized, so they keep migrating. I hope I am wrong, but it does not look good. I have met fighters in Syria from all over the middle east and all of the "stan's". It truly is a continental problem.

Article in the China daily today about what the students are being taught.

Reading the right wing media and especially the comments, it seems China has support for its policy.

I doubt that would be the case if the students were Christians.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
