China is waging a global campaign against the Uighurs, a Muslim ethnic minority concentrated in its western frontier of Xinjiang. In the last two years, the country has ordered tech companies to spy on their phones, outlawed Muslim practices like wearing a beard or going to prayers, and detained at least one million Uighur Muslims in prison-like detention centers.
Daniel Greenfield The war of letters began when 22 countries penned a letter to the United Nations Human Rights Council condemning China’s treatment of Uighurs and other Muslim minority communities.
The letter in defense of Uighur Muslims in Xinjiang was signed by France, Germany, Canada, Sweden and 18 other, mostly Western and European, countries. The case of the missing Muslim signatories was solved when the People’s Republic of China fired back with its own letter signed by 37 countries.
This letter in defense of China’s crackdown on Islam was signed by 16 Muslim countries. While some of the Muslim signatories were drawn from African countries, the letter was also signed by ambassadors for the leading Arab governments including Qatar, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Syria, and Kuwait. Pakistan, the world’s second largest Muslim country, also signed on.
In fact, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) — a 57-Muslim country consortium that calls itself “the collective voice of the Muslim world” issued a report saying that it “commends the efforts of the People’s Republic of China in providing care to its Muslim citizens; and looks forward to further cooperation between the OIC and the People’s Republic of China.”
While Western governments wailed about Muslim human rights in China, the leading Sunni nations of the world signed off on a letter praising “China’s remarkable achievements in the field of human rights.” Mandatory abortions, organ harvesting and the mass murder of millions are remarkable achievements.
No doubt about it.
The world’s top Muslim governments didn’t just settle for abstract praise of China’s human rights. Instead they explicitly defended China’s crackdown on Muslims in Xinjiang.
“Faced with the grave challenge of terrorism and extremism, China has undertaken a series of counter-terrorism and de-radicalization measures in Xinjiang, including setting up vocational education and training centers,” the letter reads. “The past three consecutive years has seen not a single terrorist attack in Xinjiang and people there enjoy a stronger sense of happiness, fulfillment and security.”
The war of letters humiliated Western governments which had failed to convince a single Muslim country to sign on to a letter criticizing China’s crackdown on Muslims. And they humiliated the Muslim signatories who demonstrated that China could intimidate them into endorsing a crackdown on Islam.
The People’s Republic of China’s idea of de-radicalization measures had allegedly included forcing Muslims to drink alcohol and eat pork, a ban on beards, hijabs and the name Mohammed.
Even Qatar, whose Al Jazeera propaganda outlet has broadcast claims of Islamist oppression in Xinjiang, was finally forced to sign on to a letter that effectively disavowed what its own media has been saying.
The Uyghur Muslims are a Turkic minority, its Islamists had sought to set up a separatist Turkic Islamic state, and the Islamist regime in Turkey had been vocal about their cause. Erdogan, the Islamist thug running Turkey, had in the past accused China of genocide. This year, the spokesman for Turkey’s foreign ministry had described China’s crackdown on Islamists as a “great cause of shame for humanity”. The spokesman had accused China of engaging in torture and brainwashing in concentration camps.
But then Erdogan, the most aggressive national exponent of Islamist causes in the region, visited China, and declared, “It is a fact that the peoples of China’s Xinjiang region live happily in China’s development and prosperity.” Then he told critics to keep quiet to avoid spoiling Turkey’s relationship with the PRC.
The People’s Republic of China had attained the complicity of the world’s most vocal Turkish nationalist in its crackdown on Turkic nationalism and won the support of the tyrant who had transformed Turkey from a secular democracy into an Islamist banana republic for its enforced secularization of Muslims.
It’s hard to imagine a greater diplomatic triumph.
What does China have that we don’t? Few of the 16 Muslim countries on the list are worried about the PRC’s military force. Instead, the Communist dictatorship has effectively leveraged its economic power in its national interest.
It has also made it clear that it will not tolerate criticism of its domestic policies. China was able to get not only Muslim countries, but the worldwide sponsors of Islamism, to sign on to its letter because they understood that crossing the PRC would carry a serious economic price.
The United States hands out foreign aid and trade agreements to countries no matter what they do. After getting caught harboring Osama bin Laden, we’re still dispensing at least $370 million in foreign aid to Pakistan. That’s down from $2.7 billion at the height of the Obama era. But still no small sum.
The PRC would never dole out $370 million to a country involved in undermining its national security.
But in the United States, cutting off foreign aid to a country, no matter how awful, is nearly impossible. The worse a country treats us, the harder we work to win that country over with extensive outreach.
The People’s Republic of China doesn’t view insults and threats as an incentive for outreach. Instead it uses its economic clout to reward or punish countries based on how those countries treat China.
The PRC does not dedicate its diplomacy to saving the planet, ending all wars, or any of the delusional nonsense that occupies American diplomats in between expensive lunches and pointless conferences. Its diplomacy is a blunt instrument meant to achieve simple ends. And, that makes it far more effective.
The war of letters demonstrated that China could recruit 16 Muslim countries to endorse forcing Muslims to eat pork, while Western countries couldn’t get even one to sign on in opposition.
So many leaders concerned with assault on the rights of these potential jihadis but no-one says a word when grand muslim terrorist attacks are launched.
Muslims really aren’t all that. Their truculence and uppitiness in Western countries is due solely to liberal cockroaches weakening our society in every way possible. In fact, their very presence in Western countries is the work of liberal cockroaches. If not for liberal cockroaches, we could use military force to keep them out.
Islam and Muslims respect strength and power. China is able to project both here, and do not care for world opinion. They are never in the grip of leftist liberalism or political correctness. So it is that despite them trampling on the rights of the Peaceful Uyighurs, practically NO Muslim nation raises squeak against them. Not Fraudi Barbaria, not filthy Pakistan, not anybody! Herein my friends is something that we too can learn in the West. Enforce our laws, and enough with political correctness. Let us call a spade a spade, and a virulent cult a virulent cult.
Of course administrations of those countries who expose their indigenous population to Muslim migrants’ aggressive and criminal behavior always are at the forefront of lecturing others about pampering the perpetrating hordes.
As Al said the UNHRC should be wiped off.
Even muslimes hate muslimes,
On a more serious note, if they can respect China for geopolitical or whatever other reason, it does not bode well for the west. These muslime savages are laughing at us down the barrels of their guns.
It’s high time we took our cues from China
There’s a lot more to this than Muslim countries supporting China for economic reasons.
China and other communist countries share the same RAGING HATE for the HOLY ONE — our MAJESTIC Creator, Christians, Jews and Israel that Islam does. In the UN, communist countries always support Muslim countries. Always support condemnations of Israel. The Red Green Alliance work very closely together to create a One World Government.
Muslim countries don’t want to lose the support of their extremely powerful communist ally, China.
“China imposes restrictions on ethnic Muslims:” At 1:28, right after the guy who makes & sells knives says Uighurs can’t buy knives, the commentator says there is “criticism of the rules; because, some say, they might help ‘radicalize’ moderate Muslims.” Funny how no matter what, telling Muslims not to do something may cause “radicalization.”
“Gravitas: is the Muslim world turning a blind eye to China’s treatment of Uighur Muslims:” At 1:18, blames the ChristChurch shooting on post-911 Islamophobia, “where Islam & 1.3 bn Muslims have collectively been blamed for any act of terror by a Muslim. This has been done deliberately to also demonize legitimate Muslim political struggles.” What is a “legitimate Muslim political struggle?” To take over. Smh.
Mughalistan is a “theory” whereby Islam wants a trade route directly from Pakistan to China (through taking top of India).
I was banned from Quora, btw, for talking back to a Muslim who was spreading anti-Semitic Lies & Propaganda, textbook stuff. No response when I asked why Quora upholds calls to genocide all Jews, though. It was started by some facebook guys; & I guess they’re now part of the indoctrinating people into not objecting to Muslim supremacy.

It is funny how the West (mainly Christains) care more about Moslems than the Moslems do. Our people seem to care so much about those who call for our demise. Our countries care more for Moslems than our own Christain & Jewish people.
We need to leave the Moslems to their own & stand up for our own people!
The UN is a joke that needs to be shut down. Although I agree with China on how they deal with their Muslums, it’s hilarious that worldwide Islam turns its back on them.
The US needs to listen & learn.
Pathetic western scum elites that bend over backwards to Islam
When that doesn’t work …..
They bend over spread their legs and grab their ankles
YUAN way to stop ISLANIC Terrorism one of the ideas I agree with China on .Some Western countries could learn a lot from this program being nice is a form of weakness or cowardice.
