Trump wrong about Uyghurs in Xinjiang China

Muslim women "forced to share beds" with male Chinese

Muslim women ‘forced to share beds’ with male Chinese officials after husbands detained in internment camps.

Muslim women whose husbands have been detained in Chinese internment camps are reportedly being forced to share beds with male government officials assigned to monitor them in their homes.

The monitoring forms part of the systematic repression of Muslims in China’s western Xinjiang region, where experts and human rights groups believe more than a million Uighurs – most of them men – have been arbitrarily detained in secretive re-education camps.

Since early last year, Uighur families in Xinjiang have been required to invite government officials into their homes, provide them information about their lives and political views, and comply with political indoctrination.

China has deployed more than a million spies – most of them male and part of the country’s Han ethnic majority – to stay in Uighur households every two months as part of what it calls the “Pair Up and Become Family” programme.

The officer described the spies as “helping” the Uighur families “with their ideology, bringing new ideas” and “talk to them about life, during which time they develop feelings for one another”.

China has said the home visits are aimed at “fostering ethnic harmony,” with officials tasked with teaching families Mandarin and Communist Party songs, participating in group activities, and helping out around the house.

After initially denying the existence of internment camps, the government later began referring to them as voluntary “vocational training centres”.

But former detainees have alleged that inmates are subjected to torture, medical experiments and gang rape.



It’s beyond Orwellian.
Remember the "anguish" over waterboarding? This? Crickets. It's like all their moralistic outrage is chicken feathers.
