China is always a delicate situation when it comes to politics, and it is like walking on eggshells. However, we are in a new era where China is losing power on the playing field because of Trump. China has been kicked out of the Panama Canal, Venezuela, and now it is losing a key energy partner, Iran.
Trump is visiting China soon, and I would hope he brings up the plight of the Uyghurs, who are being forced to assimilate using torture and brainwashing. Families are threatened if one of them refuses any orders. Women are repeatedly raped, yet we hear nothing from our politicians or women’s groups. Although I’m not sure we have any women’s groups because they all died when the left refused to define a woman. We need to help the Uyghurs get their freedom. All IMO.

“Infractions as minor as missing a weekly flag-raising ceremony, declining unpaid communal labor or state-mandated labor transfers, or possessing fitness equipment such as dumbbells suddenly triggered immediate detention. Detainees were held for up to 15 days in intentionally austere conditions, designed to instill fear. The explicit goal was total submission through calculated intimidation.
For years, the international community has struggled to see past Beijing’s wall of secrecy in Xinjiang. Following the wave of journalism and investigative research that exposed the mass internment campaign at its height, obtaining accurate insight into the region has grown significantly harder. Victims cannot leave, independent reporting is obstructed, and Beijing presents a facade of happy Uyghurs living ordinary lives.
But the granular details of Xinjiang’s continued repression are now coming to light, thanks to a rare source: firsthand testimony from a former insider within the Chinese police apparatus. According to this witness, Beijing has not dismantled its machinery of repression in Xinjiang but recalibrated it. Coercive policies dominate ordinary life, but they have become more clandestine and decentralized, making them harder for the outside world to detect.”
