Uyghurs

Never again is happening again and once again the world stands by a watches. In the Western Province of Xinjiang in China a minority group known as Uyghurs have lived there for over 6,000 years. There are about 12 million Uyghurs, mostly Muslim, living in Xinjiang, which is officially known as the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR). Communism is not compatible with religion or as Marx said, religion is the opiate of the masses. China, being a dictatorship, can keep secrets but certain information leaks out and there is strong evidence that the Uyghurs are being tortured and used as slave labor. This time there is a new twist. Not only are these crimes being ignored, they are being encouraged by western countries who enjoy the cheap labor. Slaves in China have made your sneakers and smartphones. 83 major brands implicated in report on forced labor of ethnic minorities from Xinjiang assigned to factories across provinces. When everyone joins in the chorus of badmouthing these companies they can then turn their attention to all the consumers who are purchasing these products. Look in the mirror. There is plenty of blame to go around. We asked of the Greatest Generation, why didn't you do something about the holocaust. Will today's children one day ask the same.
