Excerpts from the 2018 World Report on Human Rights violations:
The broad and sustained offensive on human rights that started after President Xi Jinping took power five years ago showed no sign of abating in 2017. The death of Nobel Peace Prize laureate Liu Xiaobo in a hospital under heavy guard in July highlighted the Chinese government’s deepening contempt for rights.
Authorities subjected more human rights defenders—including foreigners—to show trials in 2017, airing excerpted forced confessions and court trials on state television and social media. Police ensured the detainees’ compliance by torturing some of them, denying them access to lawyers of their choice, and holding them incommunicado for months.
In Xinjiang, a nominally autonomous region with 11 million Turkic Muslim Uyghurs, authorities stepped up mass surveillance and the security presence despite the lack of evidence demonstrating an organized threat. They also adopted new policies denying Uyghurs cultural and religious rights.
I have also heard reports that their muslim population has been rounded up and forced into work camps.
If YOU want to support, defend and love a country that does that ... it is your choice. You have the freedom to do that. I won't run to a mod crying about hearing things that I just don't want to hear.
PREVIEW:
(Now, the socialists on this thread will reply with ... "YEA, BUT YOU LOVE THE USA AND THEY'VE BEEN ENSLAVING PEOPLE FOR THE LAST THREE HUNDRED YEARS, STARTING WITH NATIVE AMERICANS ...." Then I point out that we were talking about China, not the US ... then I will offer to discuss the US human rights violations, then I will be called a racist and a cho-mo and the mod will be begged to toss me off the site.)
