Beijing is waging an unprecedented crackdown on the Uighurs, a majority-Muslim ethnic minority, in the western region of Xinjiang. China has been locking up its Muslim extremist minorities as a counterterrorism measure, and as a result, there have been no terrorist attacks since the program began.
Beaumont Enterprise Uighurs are placed under intense surveillance in their hometowns, with up to 1 million of them reportedly imprisoned in detention centers or re-education camps, where many are reportedly psychologically and mentally tortured.
Unfortunately, on Wednesday, US lawmakers drafted a bipartisan bill urging the White House to punish China, by way of possible export bans and financial sanctions, over its persecution of the Uighurs.
-
The legislation, which was seen by Reuters, urges the White House to consider banning exports of US technology that could be used to oppress the Uighurs, impose sanctions against human rights offenders, and other actions.
-
China’s foreign ministry told the lawmakers, which include Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, to mind their own business and focus on domestic US affairs.
-
Beijing subjects Uighurs to an unprecedented amount of surveillance in their home region. Activists say the country has imprisoned up to 1 million Uighurs.

On Monday, UN experts in Geneva sent a scathing letter to the Chinese government, seen by Business Insider, describing China’s Xinjiang policies as “incompatible with China’s obligations under international human rights law.”
Last month the European Parliament also issued a motioncalling on China to “immediately end the mass arbitrary detention” of Uighurs, close all the camps, and allow “free, unhindered access for journalists and international observers to Xinjiang province.”
Lawmakers and international organizations are increasing pressure on China to stop these practices. But Beijing is not only ignoring their critics — it’s even trying to get them to follow their lead. Over the past few weeks, China has, through official statements and editorials in state media, cited Islamic terror attacks in Europe to justify and promote its Xinjiang policy.
Last week the country’s state-run Global Times tabloid ran an editorial accusing Europe of hypocrisy in their criticism of China’s human rights record. It even suggested that European countries “discuss with China” how it can learn from Beijing’s model of suppressing Muslim minorities.
The writer, Ai Jun, said Europe “may have overlooked its own troubles,” and singled out Britain, France, and Germany as countries with large Muslim populations and which were — according to Ai — vulnerable to terrorist and extremist threats.
“Instead of judging China condescendingly, Europe might need to sit down and discuss with China how to figure out their common challenges,” Ai said. In September, Li Xiaojun, a spokesman for China’s state council information office, also cited terror attacks in Brussels and Paris carried out by Islamic extremists over the past three years to hit back at Western critics.
Referring to detention centers, Li said according to Reuters: “If you do not say it’s the best way, maybe it’s the necessary way to deal with Islamic or religious extremism. Because the West has failed in doing so, in dealing with religious Islamic extremism.”
“Look at Belgium, look at Paris, look at some other European countries. You have failed.”

I applaud China for its stance against the Uighurs. Brute force and separatism is the only way to keep these savages at bay. Those pathetic western countries that have let themselves be overrun should take a leaf out of China’s book.
BTW, Uighur food is disgusting. I had lunch at an authentic Uighur restaurant with a friend one day, not knowing what it was. Their food is full of fat and oil and I couldn’t eat much of it. It’s probably done the halal way, too. It beggars belief that people who eat only free range eggs and free range pork will happily consume food from halal places.
neetblog says
The difference here is that the Uighurs have lived in that region for hundreds of years. Muslims in Europe are foreigners. The Chinese arent waging a war against Muslims only they are also tearing down churches and targeting (((Christians))). Would you applaud that too? For me personally, I dont like Middle Eastern religions like Christianity and Islam but in this case they have their home there and they shouldnt antagonized by the Chinese like that.

Yes they need to, when muslims go to some one else’s country, start raping and killing, nothing is said. But always once they get the same treatment ment , its poor muslims.
We need governments that look after their own peoples, instead of persecuting them in favour of savage muslims.
allanivarsson says
Since the West is so squeamish about enforcing the ‘Death Penalty’ for violent Muslim offenders, I am thinking the alternative is to build an International Prison for ‘Jihad Muslims’ in the heart of Antarctica, drop them in with no escape boundaries. The cold backed by artificial intelligence guards will stop them from escaping. Once you go in, you never come out.
Then we can make another movie… “Escape from Antarctica”.
Michael Budinger says
Well said China.
anotherview02 says
Agree.
Peter35 says
The world (or at least the sane people) cries in it’s beer about the moslem trash, and criticizes the Chinese, but they are the only ones doing anything about the moslem invasion–more power to them!
Gourdhead says
I’m not much on approval for the ChiComms, but they have this right. They need to exterminate this human garbage while they can.
Cleavis Nowell (@CleavisNowell) says
The crescent kissing French are on record as willfully discriminating against Chinese immigrants to France – specifically for operating productive businesses which is something no islamist can do.
Rebel Patriot says
On this, China definitely has it right!!
Classy Infidel says
The Chinese will not visit Western Europe as it’s too dangerous

BareNakedIslam says
They’ve been avoiding France for several years now.
Leonie Z Pipe says
New Zealand is benefitting from this. Chinese tourists flock here in droves, and spend truckloads of money. We don’t fear them because they are not terrorists (we don’t like them buying up our land and plonking cheap shoddy housing developments on it that quickly turn into slums, but that’s another story). Most of the Chinese who have settled here are good citizens.
Suffice it to say, we welcome Chinese tourists! Thank you, France!
BareNakedIslam says
France’s loss is your gain. Chinese tourism to France is less than half than it used to be.
Marilyn says
Why is it the business of the USA to get involved in other countries like this? Shouldn’t this be done by the UN? I do not blame China in the least for cracking down on them…they should be. These people are monsters.
allanivarsson says
Marilyn, you are right, it’s China’s problem, no one else should be involved.
We don’t want the corrupted UN involved. A large block of the OIC controls the UN. We in the West need to leave the UN.
Richard S says
USA and other civilized western worlds stay out of it!
Richard S says
What the rest of the western world don’t realize is that uighars are a very violent breed of muslims.
Lincoln Applegate Hahn says
The Muslim Uighurs vs. the Chinese communists …. these are two of my least favorite things …. kind a hard to take sides …. but, communism is giving Islam a run for it’s money …. as the worst system on earth …. I think I’ll go with the Chinese “to show” (2nd or 3rd place) …. they have shown a great capacity for adapting to western ways …. of course there is still much work to be done …. so, Islam takes the grand prize as the most heinous system on the planet ? (Chinese culture had been around thousands of old egg years …. when Mohammad was being potty trained with his left hand ?)
dajjal says
Deradicalizaton programs always fail and the Chink system is no exception. Chinks seem to have no more clue than Euros.
Torture and intimidation will only enrage the Muslims. To them it is a casus belli, they will eventually escalate their attacks.
As for Congress: it is none of their damn business! Unless they want a war with China, they should sit down and shut up.
BareNakedIslam says
Daj, using the word “Chink” discredits the rest of what you say.
Just Your Average American says
Agreed. We are not here to defame a race. The criticism is with culture and the Mid-Eastern ideology that likes to disguise itself as a religion.
Peter35 says
Yes, agreed. But He’s right about the deradicalization.
Marilyn says
It appears to me that the Chinese are much smarter than the USA.
Moderator, why do I have to fill in my info for each and every post when I check for it to remember me?
BareNakedIslam says
That shouldn’t be happening. Is this the first time you posted comments here? It might just be a first day problem. Let me know if it continues to happen.
Az gal says
I have the same problem. I use an iPhone. (?)
BareNakedIslam says
Az, I wonder if the problem is only with phones? Hopefully more people will let me know what device they have the problem on.
Az gal says
I think Don Spillman used to say he had some of the same problems I’ve had posting comments & he used a phone. Don’t know what happened to him?
BareNakedIslam says
Az, Don left because he insisted on posting threats of violence in his comments, which I had to keep editing/deleting.
Az gal says
Dajjal: Agree with your last paragraph. As for the rest of your comment- at least the Chinese are trying something! Fight fire with fire- brainwashing against brainwashing. I’m all for it. Why not try?
AnnChristine Renoir says
They certainly need controlling…..Islam cannot live in peace anywhere…..Violence is part of Islam…..I quite agree with China and the punishment and retraining of these primitive tribes….
Classy Infidel says
History is our witness. If you give it free rein, it expands, then wants its own territory and after it conquers its host. These are facts.
Lincoln Applegate Hahn says
What do you call 20 Uighurs flashing knives …. a paper shredder for humans …. chonk, chonk, the Uighurs got your Granny …. the Uighurs, a handsome straight razor totin’ people ?

SS, BUH BYE!
Marilyn says
Reality can be hard, but pictures tell the truth better than fake news.
BareNakedIslam says
Marilyn, yes, as I always say, you forget a story, but you can never unsee a graphic photo. Good thing Solange wasn’t around here when I was posting uncensored Islamic terrorist beheadings videos nearly every month.
Vintage Stephan says
Too bad for SS… This is the truth and the truth be told!
Good job BNI… ?
Richard S says
Dasvidania SS!
Peter35 says
Solange Silverman–why do you think this blog exists, dear?
Michael Budinger says
Because people need to see just what muslims do, to any who are not muslim. The way things are going in the UK, one day you will see it live, or experience live.
allanivarsson says
S.S. the truth must be tabled. I agree with BNI, get lost anti-freedom of speech wimp.
