UN Report Finally Acknowledges China's Forced Labor Programs

Leave it to the United Nations to wait several years before pointing
out the blatantly obvious.  With their overt obsession with climate
change, one has to wonder how they find any time to address REAL
problems in the world, including state sanctioned slavery.  Perhaps
they stalled for so long because the nation in question is China?

A new UN report on contemporary forms of slavery has found it
“reasonable to conclude” that forced labor is taking place in China’s
far-western region of Xinjiang.  The area has long been criticized by
the alternative media as the base of operations for massive slave
labor camps which China uses to house undesirables, including millions
of native tribal Uyghurs according to human rights groups.

The reality of concentration camps in China was denied by the CCP spin
machine for years, but leaked documents on camp brainwashing programs
in 2019 as well as leaked video footage in 2020 have put that question
to rest.

The indoctrination programs used by China are common practice among
communist countries, which view religious beliefs and practices as
unacceptable competition to the collectivism and worship of the state.
If a group of people holds something in higher regard than the
government (such as God or spiritualism), then they might be harder to
control because they believe in something greater than themselves, or
greater than their own personal survival.  They become dangerous to
the authorities.

The Uyghur programs seem to follow a Mao/Soviet model, which focuses
on forced labor, separation of families and elaborate propaganda
sessions designed to instill loyalty.   Although, there is  some
evidence that the camps also use the threat of torture and death as a
means to inspire compliance.

The programs also appear to be an extension of the ethnic cleansing
efforts used by China to pacify and absorb Tibet after invading
militarily in 1949.  China's modus operandi is to claim that the
regions they ethnically cleanse are “already a part of China” even
when they are clearly separate, not only by geography and national
boundaries but by culture.  Claiming historic ownership is their way
of justifying their actions.  Again, this is typically communist.

In a report released on Tuesday, a UN special rapporteur, Tomoya
Obokata, said that evidence pointed to forced labor “among Uygur,
Kazakh and other ethnic minorities in sectors such as agriculture and
manufacturing”.  The UN has not adopted the report as their official
position, which is not surprising, but it is one of the first
incidents of the UN openly acknowledging the CCP's forced labor
operations.

The Chinese government was quick to dispute the rapporteur’s findings,
accusing Obokata of “abusing his authority” to “malignly smear and
denigrate China and serve as a political tool for anti-China forces”.

“We solemnly urge [a] certain special rapporteur to immediately change
course, respect plain facts, observe the mandate of the Human Rights
Council and code of conduct of the special procedure, perform duty in
a fair and objective manner,” foreign ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin
said at a news briefing in Beijing on Wednesday.   “There has never
been forced labor in Xinjiang,” he added.

Here we have another very typical communist reaction to being caught
red handed (no pun intended), which is to play the victim and then
gaslight the people that are pointing out their criminality.

China argues that labor programs were actually meant to “combat
radicalism” and “fight terrorism,” though they have offered no
legitimate evidence of either.  The CCP also suggests that camps
produce workers that are “paid,” though this claim has been refuted by
prisoners and insider leaks.  Whether paid or not, all the evidence
shows that Uyghurs and other groups are indeed separated from their
families and shipped out against their will to work in Chinese
factories.

Beyond exposing the horrible practices of the Chinese government, the
slave labor and concentration camp issue illustrates the much bigger
problem of collectivist systems and their natural propensity to
devolve into brutal dictatorship.

This is the eventual end path of every socialist/communist model; it
is not as if China is being compelled by circumstances to round these
people up, to torture them or use them as slave labor.  There is no
direct threat to China.  Rather, the CCP and other collectivist
governments see ideas as threats, because ideas and beliefs outside of
state doctrine offer CHOICES, and the power of choice is the ultimate
silver bullet to the monster of collectivism.  Choice is death for
authoritarians, so all choice must be eliminated.
