UN's Damning Report on China's 'Sins' in Xinjiang States An Ugly Truth, But Only Partially
The United Nations has put its seal on reports of Chinese atrocities in Xinjiang. The CCP has made migrating and settling Han Chinese people, 90% of China’s population, to Xinjiang one of its policy tools and has increased its pace in recent years. The Encyclopaedia Britannica reflects on how it happened: “Culturally, Urumqi largely remains a Uyghur city, in spite of the fact that Han Chinese constitute the great majority of the population—especially with the increased influx of Han since the 1990s.” The OHCHR report quotes the figure of over a million Uyghurs and other ethnic minorities in detention centres based on the estimation of the UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination in 2018. An investigative report from BuzzFeed says over 1,500 Chinese companies are located near or inside Uyghur detention centres in Xinjiang to use Uyghurs as forced labourers. An analysis by the US Department of Labour says, “It is estimated that 100,000 Uyghurs and other ethnic minority ex-detainees in China may be working in conditions of forced labour following detention in re-education camps…Many more rural poor workers also may experience coercion without detention.” Uyghur lives, in fact, have similar treatment, inside or outside camps.
