Hence why the Muslim world is so focused on Gaza against a likewise geostrategically vulnerable Israel, but conveniently ignores the Uyghurs who are like 5x more in population and don’t enjoy an well armed and organized resistance movement.
@@doujinflip Not really. If normal everyday muslims knew what was happening I believe everyone would be highly opposed to "that". Problem is that "politicians" are getting paid to hide the truth. No media company publishes any news about this as far as I know. So for a muslim to know about this they have to have good enough english skills and know where to look. Very rare to see those people.
@@doujinflip The hypocrisy is so great I cant help but see it as just an attempt at camouflage. Theres no substance to it. When fireflies are hungry, they use the signal of another type of firefly to lure them in to eat. Virtue signalling really fits into that metaphor.
Upon seeing this on my feed I explained it to my girlfriend. She had no idea. I also said that we only care about genocide when it is happening in Europe. She was a little shocked by that one until I told her about the Armenian genocide and pointed out that she never learned about it in our history books.
I rarely hear about this. There's been daily protests against Israel for serveral months, but I don't see thousands of people marching through the streets chanting 'Free the Uyghurs'.
You can see Israel bombing Palestinians in Gaza but the most you see from what they call a genocide in Xinjiang is some reeducation camps and ETIM people saying how horrible the camps are which can sometimes be a bit iffy considering they've been supported by America.
@angsern8455 what on earth are you talking about?!! "a bit iffy" "some call a genocide" ??? And HOW is the US supporting them? These "education camps" where women are being sterilized, men are beaten and forced to watch HORRIFIC acts, as a form of torture!! Key thing, I can't mention here, the women are present during these acts ... you'll have to fact check yourself. You either are on the CCP tit, OR you're just a tit all on your own. Either way, imagine this was your family, imagine it was you being subject to genetic database collection that restricts you from even taking a train!
No, many did. Pesky western media just not taking any shit about it because they don't want people to rally against china and piss off the CCP or to make trade embargoes and such.
How bout the tibetian Genocide? or the Dzungar genocide ? or Jie genocide? China has done so many its hard to cry about people doing something back to them.. its Called Karma...
I see many reasons why - China is powerful and influencial. - Uighur Muslims are not the right Muslims to be pitied with. - China is very anti-West, and being anti-West gives people clout.
I'm not saying Israel is in the right. From my perspective, Benjamin Netanyahu is an Israeli ultranationalist that needs to go. But the larger situation is very nuanced. You get Muslim minorities discriminated against in countries like China and Russia all the time, but because they aren't "Western nations," the attitude is pretty much "meh" seemingly even from the mainstream Muslim community.
Another reason I think is American hypocrisy. I’m obviously no way in hell defending China’s actions but the USA have been responsible for so many wars and genocides in Muslim countries. They clearly don’t care about the rights of Muslims so to some, they don’t have the right to criticise China’s treatment of the Uyghurs and they just see it as American propaganda against China. It’s an utter bullshit excuse. Both China and the USA are evil.

Because they don't care about others. Everything is a political game to these people where morality is a facade. But people are easy to manipulate into a false cause sadly.
Muslim states, not muslim nations. Since secularism was forced upon muslim states, we've been suffering on all scales. I will only blame our groups for not fighting this alien ideology
My dad once told me, "The Uyghurs are the Turks that the other Turks don't want to talk about, because they are all afraid of the Khaghan" Khaghan is the Persian/Turkish word for the Chinese emperor.

There is 0 evidence of Uyghur genocide except for some ET Uyghurs stories. ET is a terrorist group and ET Uyghurs are Islamic radicals. China at worst out some radicals into schools to teach them Chinese language, law, and professional skills, based on the idea that if one has a job and stable life, he is less subject to religious extremism. Xinjiang is a popular tourist destination for both domestic and international travelers. Uyghurs are witnessed to have normal lives there, happily dancing in every park and plaza. Gaza is what a genocide looks like. Large amount of videos of body counts, especially women and children, refugee camps, dangerous situations in which hundreds of journalists and aid workers got killed. The fact that the west claim there is a Uyghur genocide with 0 evidence but there is not a Palestinian genocide demonstrates that it is all about political agenda and the west never really cares about justice, human rights and human lives. Forget how they lied about Iraq WMD? They lied about Iraq, they lied about Libya, they invaded those countries and killed civilians themselves, and they continue sending weapons to Israel to be used to kill civilians. You think they care about Uyghur Muslims? They care more about their weapon sales.

I think a large difference between Gaza and this situation is the USA is actually financing the destruction of Gaza, people just don’t want their tax dollars/tuition to fund these genocides, they accept the fact they can’t fix every problem in the world and stop every genocide, but they don’t want to contribute to them for sure

@@mariomastadon7650The US has plenty to answer for, but it's not like that stuff is hidden or suppressed, and while it's not like it is gone, the persecution of Native Americans has certainly diminished since its peak in the early 1900s. And to be clear, the Reservation system was nowhere near as Orwellian as the Uighur genocide. There was no mass surveillance or anything. It was like putting a rat in a locked box and slowly vacuuming out the air. China is not only vacuuming out the air, but slowly adding in poisonous gas as they do it, and feeding the rat with Strychnine. Both lead to death, but one is extra vindictive.
It is frustrating. It is easy to find proof that certain countries aren't just trying to counter videos like this but actively make Western populations more susceptible to alternative views. For instance you will find many of the tiktokers and such that put out videos like 'ancient Antartic civilization covered up' or 'proof of aliens!' etc. etc. can be linked back to suspicious countries (namely Russia) - not always directly but sometimes just by generating AI content that these creators can use or the original idea for example. It feels like they're trying to persuade people that the 'mainstream' can't be trusted and that you should look towards fringe groups for your information. Basically creating populations that are less likely to believe reputable outlets and more likely to believe alternative facts from unverified sources. It's doubly frustrating because there is a kernel of truth, the West is not perfect, sometimes there are authorities with ulterior motives or coverups, propaganda light and biased news outlets BUT you would have to be blind to not see how absolutely and totally morally corrupt these bad actors are compared to the West. It's like comparing a regular guy who got drunk, drove home and killed somebody and a serial killer without remorse that has killed dozens.
@@mariomastadon7650Yeah... because governments are always open about their genocides... Obviously, China openly suppresses these kinds of videos. That's why you won't find much on the subject.

China is forcing Uighurs to assimilate to Chinese culture, just like what Canadians and US has done to the Natives Americans It is NO WAY near what the Israel is doing to the Palestinians Israel BOMBED and destroyed practically ALL OF THE HOMES OF THE PALESTINIANS , and why would ppl compare China with Isreal?
China is also diverting the water of the Himalaya so that 70 million people in other countries are potentially faced with hunger. The Mekong used to have a lot of water and carry nutrients, but now the water volume has decreased more than half. More than half of the world's big dams are located in China.

When it’s America and Israel in Gaza mistreating Muslims it’s genocide (according to their critics). When it’s Russia in Afghanistan (1979-1989), Chechnya (1994-96, 1999-2009) or China in Xinjiang it isn’t genocide (because US and Israeli critics too often have their ideological biases). Russia is also committing cultural genocide in Ukraine. I’ve never seen or heard of widespread protests against Russia (after the first months of invading Ukraine) and China, or University encampment in solidarity with Uyghurs, Ukrainians and Chechens. Certainly not in the spoiled, out of touch West (where I live). As others have pointed out you don’t see protests and outrage by Arab countries, or their masses, in solidarity with the Uyghurs either. A lot of this is probably due to the Arab dictatorships’ propaganda and state media, but much of it is their ideological biases against the US and Israel (which don’t apply to Russia and China). I get people have their slants, but to ignore it completely, or to justify it due to garbage C CP propaganda, or because they hate America and Israel more is just morally repugnant. I say that as someone who has their own criticisms against the US and Israel.
No, I think you are the one the most spoiled here. People from the place you listed knows full well if they protest, they will be disappeared in an unmarked van. People from Unite State knows they are free enough to speak their mind freely, and that itself should be celebrated, not a subject of complaint. But if you want so much, you can go live in those country, I promise you no one will complain about their government's wrongdoing, heck they won't complain at all just as you wished.
why are we comparing? genocide is genocide whenever or to whoever it is being afflicted to. i get that Gaza and the Palestine is having more coverage but let us remember it is not the lack of 'care' but the lack of awareness.
you have to remember, countries like russia and china are widely regarded as horrible genocidal countries (barring some weird gen z kids). Thats why the proests are lower, theres nothing to protest. Yes china and russia are bad. Yes the USA is trying to cripple them. Can they? No because theyre going to shit themselves. The reason why protests against israel are happening is because the EU and USA are meant to be the good guys. Bastions of freedom and rights. So when these guys do the exact same thing the bad guys are doing, obviously protests are gonna happen cuz thats more outrageous. What would be more outrageous, the joker killing someone for the 1 billionth time, or Batman going and killing someone in cold blood
Welcome to China, welcome to Xinjiang. China has opened visa-free access to most countries, and Xinjiang can also be freely entered and exited. Therefore, you can use your eyes and body to feel the real Xinjiang and what the real Uyghurs are like, instead of staying at home and commenting on a matter by reading Western media reports! This is why criticism of Xinjiang comes from Western media, not from Muslim countries of the same faith. Isn’t it strange? The brain belongs to you, not others. Why would someone believe lies instead of going to see it for themselves? Maybe it's just that you just like lies.
> Official population figures indicate a sharp decline in birth rates in XUAR from 2017.

The average for all of China is 10.48 per thousand. > Uyghur-majority areas represented the bulk of this decline, with two of the largest Uyghur prefectures especially affected by it.

Damn, it's almost like this video spawned from the void, and there was no conversation about the qualisfication of what Israel is doing in gaza in the last few month. Surely; it's only a genuine coincidence that a youtube geopolitical channel, well informed and of quality content totally skipped the icj ruling. He really is keen to use this word, when only a few, small institutions used it. But when bigger institution, larger groups of scholar says the same about Gaza, this dude is silent. And in absolutely no way I am minimizing what is inflicted on the Uyghur people: it is a genocide, steps must be taken from all around the world the help them, stop the catastrophe that they are living. Boycott, divest, sanctions too to the genocidal government of China. What pains me the most is that the channel is high quality, and the work is really good. That's why i can't even plead ignorance from it.
Glad you made this video Simon - I have a friend who works for a DC thinktank, and she's the only person over the last 10 years who has been talking about this. Something has to be done about this
The thing is, which of Gaza vs Xinjiang is genocidal? Or it is both? In Gaza we have seen deaths, starvation, people displaced, UN and NGO personnel killed indiscreetly, infrastructures destroyed, cutting off water, electricity, medicines and humanitarian aid.... Xinjiang has a different form of genocide: their products banned, their businesses sanctioned, and as a result their people are deprived of income and job opportunities. These 2 regions have a common factor - a foreign power supplying weapons and imposing sanctions respectively, thereby facilitating or creating the genocide. And we will never forget the genocide there.

@@shaun7142 Whilst you are talking about declining birth rates in Xinjiang, there is a genuine humanitarian atrocity in Gaza. As we speak, pregnant women are killed in Gaza, newborns are killed, and their population being decimated by war, and for those that survived the relentless bombings, they have nowhere to go, no food to eat, no clean water to drink, and worst still, no hope and no future.
There is a genuine atrocity going on against the Uyghurs. A population of innocents that are suffering horrifically from an authoritarian state. And if you want to downplay it, guess what, Palestinian loses out to Sudan.
Not downplaying it, but hyperbolizing the genocide there committed by an external power using illegal means including sanctions, product ban, disinformation campaigns. We should stand in solidarity for the Xinjiang people including Han and minorities!
Lol, Saudi is the greatest hypocrite since MBS came to power Iran was never really Islamic, disguised under the veils of shiism, and so they don't feel connected to uyghurs Kazakhstan? My dear, this country got plagued with the worst thing in the Islamic world, state secularism/atheism

Hello everyone who cares so much about the Uyghur people, I'm Chinese and I welcome all of you to come to Xinjiang and see with your own eyes. You propably don't know this but you can come to Xinjiang freely. No one will stop you from exploring the place. In fact the Uyghurs will welcome you. They are one of the warmest, most friendly ethic groups in China. I'm sure you won't regret this trip. And then you can draw conclusion by your own judgement. Also I don't know why there's this rumor that China is anti-muslim. China actually puts a very harsh ban on Islamophobia. As a Chinese I am often horrified by the amount of islamophobic contents produced by western media, if these writers/editors/reporters work in China, they go to jail.
Then why did the Chinese government prevent journalists from visiting any of the reeducation camps that were not heavily curated even by your government's own metrics? For those who don't know, these reeducation camps are a punishment for extremism, and the Chinese government outright admits that. However, whenever journalists visit the inmates claim to be a volunteers who one day realized that they were infected by extremism, but luckily the great and wonderful CCP was there to help them understand the truth. Yeah. And here are quotes from the legal code, which are some of creepiest doublespeak I have seen outside of fiction; > The following words and actions under the influence of extremism are extremification, and are to be prohibited: (15) Other speech and acts of extremification. > De-extremification shall persist in the basic directives of the party's work on religion, persist in an orientation of making religion more Chinese and under law, and actively guide religions to become compatible with socialist society. And there's more, but this last one is noteworthy given the above commenter claims that China is not Islamophobic. And I guess they aren't, as long as Islam, and every other religion, conforms to the demands of the CCP. And if you go through this comment section, you'll see a bunch of Chinese commenters say that. Including them outright claiming that the CCP is the one who is preserving the "true" Uyghur culture and protecting it from "extremism".

The same applies to the figures regarding sterilisations and IUD placements in XUAR, with official data indicating an unusually sharp rise in both forms of procedures in the region during 2017 and 2018, in comparison with the rest of China.

Simon, thank you for making this podcast. This is an issue which seems to run under the radar - probably much ro the delight of President Eleven and his cronies.
My country, Sweden, was long among the few and only countries that denied Uighurs refugee status - even back in 2015 when things really started to escalate. That's shameful! But no one talks about it.
GPS trackers in every car? Makes you wonder about Chinese EV's swamping the global EV markets, doesn't it? Have those already in the EU been checked for rogue systems that MAY have been installed or that are dormant and awaiting a code delivered by service staff or by GPS piggy-back signal? The more I learn, the less I TRUST the Chinese or their products!
I get the paranoia but I highly doubt the EVs are bugged. It's, impractical, you don't know who is going to get which car and then you have to track every single one, the EV thing is about state subsidies in China to undercut any country that wants green tech to prevent competition and create a trade dependency. Now, Huawei literally installing everyone's communication systems with back doors and half there executives being from the Chinese intelligence and security agencies, there's your conspiracy.
Ima be honest. If you have a problem with China doing it you should have a problem with Usa doing it too. Usa made cars are full of not just GPS but things that can and will track your speed, where you are going, how hard you break and how much you accelerate. They are using that data (as far as we know) for your insurance.
The East Turkistan Uyghurs overseas are Islamic radicals who want to impose strict Sharia on Uyghur people and put an end to a splendid culture. The Chinese government is the one who is preserving and promoting this culture. I saw a billboard by a road in Xinjiang that had two pictures, the one with Uyghur traditional colorful clothes with a big green check, the other with burka and black robes with a Red Cross. Also in rural Xinjiang, I saw cartoon posters saying “ if someone asks you to cover your face and hair to prove your a real Muslim, report to the local gov. If someone’s talks about jihad, reports to the local gov” I saw these things in Radom peoples travel videos on YT that have nothing to do with politics but it show that what the Chines gov has a problem with is a radical form of religion that is the opposite of authentic uyghur traditions and cultures
So the only Uyghurs who disagree with the CCP are "Islamic radicals". Got any proof beyond your own biases in favor of the CCP? Also, how exactly does this theory of your work? If "authentic Uyghur culture" requires the intervention of an outside ethnic group to "preserve" it, that sounds like people are being told what their culture is, and how to practice it. Just so you know, this kind of propaganda would be considered extremely racist in the US. I'm guessing you're trying to sell your country's genocidal actions, but this method of your will just turn people off. Free advice from someone who doesn't feel the need to prop up a country that does things like this; > Overall, the Government reports that the population of XUAR grew from 12.98 million in the 2010 census to 14.93 million in the 2020 census, and that the Uyghur population grew from 10 million in the 2010 census to 11.6 million in the 2020 census ...

There is 0 evidence of Uyghur genocide except for some ET Uyghurs stories. ET is a terrorist group and ET Uyghurs are Islamic radicals. China at worst out some radicals into schools to teach them Chinese language, law, and professional skills, based on the idea that if one has a job and stable life, he is less subject to religious extremism. Xinjiang is a popular tourist destination for both domestic and international travelers. Uyghurs are witnessed to have normal lives there, happily dancing in every park and plaza. Gaza is what a genocide looks like. Large amount of videos of body counts, especially women and children, refugee camps, dangerous situations in which hundreds of journalists and aid workers got killed. The fact that the west claim there is a Uyghur genocide with 0 evidence but there is not a Palestinian genocide demonstrates that it is all about political agenda and the west never really cares about justice, human rights and human lives. Forget how they lied about Iraq WMD? They lied about Iraq, they lied about Libya, they invaded those countries and killed civilians themselves, and they continue sending weapons to Israel to be used to kill civilians. You think they care about Uyghur Muslims? They care more about their weapon sales.
I haven't watched the whole video. I want to say i still remember when zoom took out the conference room where a uyghur and company were supposed to use it.
This is what Tiktok is doing. Exactly what their facial recognition technology was doing over this last 20 odd years. Gathering all your information and facial ID.
Pretty much. That's why I never let the damn thing on my phone. Not saying Meta is much better, but the US government already knows what I look like given I'm federally employed, the CCP does not.
@@stevendowns4378 For some reason people think what happens in China has no impact on their life. But a simple look at CCP's security law shows where they want to take the world. The security law makes it illegal to question or attack anything the CCP says and carries a prison sentence - meaning if you make the CCP look bad aboard or advocate for democracy in China then you could find yourself in a Chinese jail cell
China uncensored is a TH-cam channel that has been talking about this fire years I'm very happy that Simon is covering it.He's got a bigger voice, but it's so much worse.Go watch a few China.Uncensored videos about the Weger Muslims and like the emojis that used to communicate and your heart will be absolutely broken for these people.I thought after world war two we all decided never again
20:41 as a woman who has had an IUD put in of her free will, it was not a pleasant experience. And that is downplaying it. I was safe in a doctors office, and I was still a bit traumatized by it (it felt like giving birth, and I wasn’t mentally prepared for that as someone who has not had children). I cannot imagine having one forcibly put in in public. It was awful enough in a doctors office where I had chosen it, and had women there who cared about my well-being and ethics. And I knew that if it any point in time I did not want it, he was an easy trip to a doctor for them to slide it out. That’s not to say that the other stuff wasn’t horrible as well. This just resonated with me. I guess an IUD is better than mutilating them, so that they can’t have children even if they do get out and get help, but regardless, it’s awful
As horrible as it is, the British, Spanish,US and Canadian governments have had extremely similar policies towards Indigenous peoples, Irish,Indian, etc. Residential Schools as an example. This isn't a new practice unfortunately.
I don’t understand why the news treated these two stories differently. Even when the Uyghur story broke the news many years ago it was never sensationalized like what is happening with the war in Gaza. Doesn’t make sense considering Israel is an American ally and China is a rival nation.
What’s happening in Gaza isn’t being sensationalized, especially not by mainstream media (quite the opposite actually). The Uyghur story is happening gradually, it’s not getting as much attention because nothing is changing other than tightening restrictions. What’s happening in Gaza is graphic and fast- you can see the effects immediately.
Someone write.. Once you understand why some countries cannot find genocide in Gaza, then you immediately understand why they can find genocide in Xinjiang.
So, they've been native to the region since at least 700 CE, when they were driven from Kyrgyzstan (next door). That's only a few dozen miles away. If you want to talk about indigenous populations, in the absence of the Tocharians, the Uyghurs are a close as that region can claim. As a Canadian, I couldn't help but notice that their children even get their own Residential Schools. That should work out fine.

As they bomb them in those Gaza Ghettoes Israel forced them into. Yet in this situation, we mostly stay silent on that genocide

Where telecommunications operators discover information with extremifying content, they shall immediately stop its transmission, delete the relevant information, keep evidence, and promptly report the case; employ technological measures to block cross-border internet transmissions of information with extremifying content, and assist the public security organs in conducting a lawful disposition.

Yeah, me. Do we actually have any evidence of this genocide? Or maybe it's going on, but the Chinese are being provoked and need to resort to violence? Also, here we go again with white people complaining about the evils of other people when white people themselves have done the same and are actually benefiting from such actions. China can't do the same?

Genocide only matters when it’s convenient to a political movement.
Hence why the Muslim world is so focused on Gaza against a likewise geostrategically vulnerable Israel, but conveniently ignores the Uyghurs who are like 5x more in population and don’t enjoy an well armed and organized resistance movement.
@@doujinflip Not really. If normal everyday muslims knew what was happening I believe everyone would be highly opposed to "that". Problem is that "politicians" are getting paid to hide the truth.

It’s almost like it’s not about genocide and more about attacking a specific group of people…
How bout the tibetian Genocide? or the Dzungar genocide ? or Jie genocide? China has done so many its hard to cry about people doing something back to them.. its Called Karma...
I see many reasons why
- China is powerful and influencial.
- Uighur Muslims are not the right Muslims to be pitied with.
- China is very anti-West, and being anti-West gives people clout.
I'm not saying Israel is in the right. From my perspective, Benjamin Netanyahu is an Israeli ultranationalist that needs to go. But the larger situation is very nuanced. You get Muslim minorities discriminated against in countries like China and Russia all the time, but because they aren't "Western nations," the attitude is pretty much "meh" seemingly even from the mainstream Muslim community.
Another reason I think is American hypocrisy. I’m obviously no way in hell defending China’s actions but the USA have been responsible for so many wars and genocides in Muslim countries. They clearly don’t care about the rights of Muslims so to some, they don’t have the right to criticise China’s treatment of the Uyghurs and they just see it as American propaganda against China. It’s an utter bullshit excuse. Both China and the USA are evil.

For instance you will find many of the tiktokers and such that put out videos like 'ancient Antartic civilization covered up' or 'proof of aliens!' etc. etc. can be linked back to suspicious countries (namely Russia) - not always directly but sometimes just by generating AI content that these creators can use or the original idea for example.
It feels like they're trying to persuade people that the 'mainstream' can't be trusted and that you should look towards fringe groups for your information.
Basically creating populations that are less likely to believe reputable outlets and more likely to believe alternative facts from unverified sources.
It's doubly frustrating because there is a kernel of truth, the West is not perfect, sometimes there are authorities with ulterior motives or coverups, propaganda light and biased news outlets BUT you would have to be blind to not see how absolutely and totally morally corrupt these bad actors are compared to the West.
It's like comparing a regular guy who got drunk, drove home and killed somebody and a serial killer without remorse that has killed dozens.

The suppression is sort of a low level steady pressure. It really is different from the video
No it isn't, go look for yourself. Or just search for the videos of people visiting Xinjiang, and tell us where the genocide is...

I didn’t forget about this. I had a friend tell me about this in 2018..
Thank you for making this video, this is a topic nobody wants to bring up.
There is 0 evidence of Uyghur genocide except for some ET Uyghurs stories. ET is a terrorist group and ET Uyghurs are Islamic radicals. China at worst out some radicals into schools to teach them Chinese language, law, and professional skills, based on the idea that if one has a job and stable life, he is less subject to religious extremism. Xinjiang is a popular tourist destination for both domestic and international travelers. Uyghurs are witnessed to have normal lives there, happily dancing in every park and plaza. Gaza is what a genocide looks like. Large amount of videos of body counts, especially women and children, refugee camps, dangerous situations in which hundreds of journalists and aid workers got killed. The fact that the west claim there is a Uyghur genocide with 0 evidence but there is not a Palestinian genocide demonstrates that it is all about political agenda and the west never really cares about justice, human rights and human lives. Forget how they lied about Iraq WMD? They lied about Iraq, they lied about Libya, they invaded those countries and killed civilians themselves, and they continue sending weapons to Israel to be used to kill civilians. You think they care about Uyghur Muslims? They care more about their weapon sales.
China is forcing Uighurs to assimilate to Chinese culture, just like what Canadians and US has done to the Natives Americans
It is NO WAY near what the Israel is doing to the Palestinians
Israel BOMBED and destroyed practically ALL OF THE HOMES OF THE PALESTINIANS , and why would ppl compare China with Isreal?
China is also diverting the water of the Himalaya so that 70 million people in other countries are potentially faced with hunger. The Mekong used to have a lot of water and carry nutrients, but now the water volume has decreased more than half. More than half of the world's big dams are located in China.
I'm sure Vietnam has list of reasons to hate the CCP. I mean you know you've screwed up when Vietnam probably gets on better with the USA than China.
That's horrible, truly China sucks ass.

When it’s America and Israel in Gaza mistreating Muslims it’s genocide (according to their critics).
When it’s Russia in Afghanistan (1979-1989), Chechnya (1994-96, 1999-2009) or China in Xinjiang it isn’t genocide (because US and Israeli critics too often have their ideological biases). Russia is also committing cultural genocide in Ukraine.
I’ve never seen or heard of widespread protests against Russia (after the first months of invading Ukraine) and China, or University encampment in solidarity with Uyghurs, Ukrainians and Chechens. Certainly not in the spoiled, out of touch West (where I live).
As others have pointed out you don’t see protests and outrage by Arab countries, or their masses, in solidarity with the Uyghurs either. A lot of this is probably due to the Arab dictatorships’ propaganda and state media, but much of it is their ideological biases against the US and Israel (which don’t apply to Russia and China).
I get people have their slants, but to ignore it completely, or to justify it due to garbage C CP propaganda, or because they hate America and Israel more is just morally repugnant. I say that as someone who has their own criticisms against the US and Israel.
No, I think you are the one the most spoiled here. People from the place you listed knows full well if they protest, they will be disappeared in an unmarked van. People from Unite State knows they are free enough to speak their mind freely, and that itself should be celebrated, not a subject of complaint. But if you want so much, you can go live in those country, I promise you no one will complain about their government's wrongdoing, heck they won't complain at all just as you wished.
why are we comparing? genocide is genocide whenever or to whoever it is being afflicted to. i get that Gaza and the Palestine is having more coverage but let us remember it is not the lack of 'care' but the lack of awareness.
you have to remember, countries like russia and china are widely regarded as horrible genocidal countries (barring some weird gen z kids). Thats why the proests are lower, theres nothing to protest. Yes china and russia are bad. Yes the USA is trying to cripple them. Can they? No because theyre going to shit themselves.
The reason why protests against israel are happening is because the EU and USA are meant to be the good guys. Bastions of freedom and rights. So when these guys do the exact same thing the bad guys are doing, obviously protests are gonna happen cuz thats more outrageous.
What would be more outrageous, the joker killing someone for the 1 billionth time, or Batman going and killing someone in cold blood
You could add Turkey to the list. Since it’s a NATO ally, their three genocides don’t matter.
Don't compare Cultural genocide to real genocide
Welcome to China, welcome to Xinjiang. China has opened visa-free access to most countries, and Xinjiang can also be freely entered and exited. Therefore, you can use your eyes and body to feel the real Xinjiang and what the real Uyghurs are like, instead of staying at home and commenting on a matter by reading Western media reports! This is why criticism of Xinjiang comes from Western media, not from Muslim countries of the same faith. Isn’t it strange?
The brain belongs to you, not others. Why would someone believe lies instead of going to see it for themselves? Maybe it's just that you just like lies.
> Official population figures indicate a sharp decline in birth rates in XUAR from 2017. Data from the 2020 Chinese Statistical Yearbook, covering 2019, shows that in the space of two years the birth rate in Xinjiang dropped approximately 48.7 per cent, from 15.88 per thousand in 2017 to 8.14 per thousand in 2019. The average for all of China is 10.48 per thousand.
> Uyghur-majority areas represented the bulk of this decline, with two of the largest Uyghur prefectures especially affected by it. In Hotan, which is 96 per cent Uyghur, birth rates went from 20.94 per cent in 2016 to 8.58 per cent per thousand births in 2018. Similarly, the birth rate in Kashgar, which is approximately 92.6 per cent Uyghur, dropped from 18.19 per cent in 2016 to 7.94 per cent per thousand births in 2018. Even taking into account the overall decline in birth rates in China, these figures remain unusual and stark. The same applies to the figures regarding sterilisations and IUD placements in XUAR, with official data indicating an unusually sharp rise in both forms of procedures in the region during 2017 and 2018, in comparison with the rest of China. For example, in 2018, sterilisations in XUAR stood at 243 per 100,000 inhabitants, whereas the overall figure for China was a fraction thereof at only 32.1 per 100,000 inhabitants.

Seems like some are already here. Given the amount of views this channel gets, I have no doubt the comments will be swarmed with the enemy.
While it's true the U.S. is up to dastardly shit, we aren't doing anything this bad or on this scale...yet.
Whats Curtis Jackson got to do with this?
Damn, it's almost like this video spawned from the void, and there was no conversation about the qualisfication of what Israel is doing in gaza in the last few month.
Surely; it's only a genuine coincidence that a youtube geopolitical channel, well informed and of quality content totally skipped the icj ruling.
He really is keen to use this word, when only a few, small institutions used it. But when bigger institution, larger groups of scholar says the same about Gaza, this dude is silent.
And in absolutely no way I am minimizing what is inflicted on the Uyghur people: it is a genocide, steps must be taken from all around the world the help them, stop the catastrophe that they are living. Boycott, divest, sanctions too to the genocidal government of China.
What pains me the most is that the channel is high quality, and the work is really good. That's why i can't even plead ignorance from it.
lol you are a sick puppy. Your only defense against little kids having their eyeballs pop out of their heads from bombings is “what aboutism?”

Commenting to boost the algorithm. This video needs to be seen.
The thing is, which of Gaza vs Xinjiang is genocidal? Or it is both? In Gaza we have seen deaths, starvation, people displaced, UN and NGO personnel killed indiscreetly, infrastructures destroyed, cutting off water, electricity, medicines and humanitarian aid.... Xinjiang has a different form of genocide: their products banned, their businesses sanctioned, and as a result their people are deprived of income and job opportunities. These 2 regions have a common factor - a foreign power supplying weapons and imposing sanctions respectively, thereby facilitating or creating the genocide. And we will never forget the genocide there.

@@shaun7142 Whilst you are talking about declining birth rates in Xinjiang, there is a genuine humanitarian atrocity in Gaza. As we speak, pregnant women are killed in Gaza, newborns are killed, and their population being decimated by war, and for those that survived the relentless bombings, they have nowhere to go, no food to eat, no clean water to drink, and worst still, no hope and no future.
There is a genuine atrocity going on against the Uyghurs. A population of innocents that are suffering horrifically from an authoritarian state.
And if you want to downplay it, guess what, Palestinian loses out to Sudan.
Not downplaying it, but hyperbolizing the genocide there committed by an external power using illegal means including sanctions, product ban, disinformation campaigns. We should stand in solidarity for the Xinjiang people including Han and minorities!

Hello everyone who cares so much about the Uyghur people, I'm Chinese and I welcome all of you to come to Xinjiang and see with your own eyes. You propably don't know this but you can come to Xinjiang freely. No one will stop you from exploring the place. In fact the Uyghurs will welcome you. They are one of the warmest, most friendly ethic groups in China. I'm sure you won't regret this trip. And then you can draw conclusion by your own judgement.
Also I don't know why there's this rumor that China is anti-muslim. China actually puts a very harsh ban on Islamophobia. As a Chinese I am often horrified by the amount of islamophobic contents produced by western media, if these writers/editors/reporters work in China, they go to jail.
Then why did the Chinese government prevent journalists from visiting any of the reeducation camps that were not heavily curated even by your government's own metrics?
For those who don't know, these reeducation camps are a punishment for extremism, and the Chinese government outright admits that. However, whenever journalists visit the inmates claim to be a volunteers who one day realized that they were infected by extremism, but luckily the great and wonderful CCP was there to help them understand the truth. Yeah.

And there's more, but this last one is noteworthy given the above commenter claims that China is not Islamophobic. And I guess they aren't, as long as Islam, and every other religion, conforms to the demands of the CCP. And if you go through this comment section, you'll see a bunch of Chinese commenters say that. Including them outright claiming that the CCP is the one who is preserving the "true" Uyghur culture and protecting it from "extremism".
Hello from Russia, I saw a video where the Chinese destroyed a mosque, and in its place they built a restaurant where they sell wine and pork. And the policy of apartheid against Muslims in China is called the policy of consolidation. Is this not true? It’s just that we in Russia also want the same camps for Muslims as yours

GPS trackers in every car? Makes you wonder about Chinese EV's swamping the global EV markets, doesn't it? Have those already in the EU been checked for rogue systems that MAY have been installed or that are dormant and awaiting a code delivered by service staff or by GPS piggy-back signal?
The more I learn, the less I TRUST the Chinese or their products!
I get the paranoia but I highly doubt the EVs are bugged. It's, impractical, you don't know who is going to get which car and then you have to track every single one, the EV thing is about state subsidies in China to undercut any country that wants green tech to prevent competition and create a trade dependency. Now, Huawei literally installing everyone's communication systems with back doors and half there executives being from the Chinese intelligence and security agencies, there's your conspiracy.
Ima be honest. If you have a problem with China doing it you should have a problem with Usa doing it too. Usa made cars are full of not just GPS but things that can and will track your speed, where you are going, how hard you break and how much you accelerate. They are using that data (as far as we know) for your insurance.
The East Turkistan Uyghurs overseas are Islamic radicals who want to impose strict Sharia on Uyghur people and put an end to a splendid culture. The Chinese government is the one who is preserving and promoting this culture. I saw a billboard by a road in Xinjiang that had two pictures, the one with Uyghur traditional colorful clothes with a big green check, the other with burka and black robes with a Red Cross. Also in rural Xinjiang, I saw cartoon posters saying “ if someone asks you to cover your face and hair to prove your a real Muslim, report to the local gov. If someone’s talks about jihad, reports to the local gov” I saw these things in Radom peoples travel videos on YT that have nothing to do with politics but it show that what the Chines gov has a problem with is a radical form of religion that is the opposite of authentic uyghur traditions and cultures
So the only Uyghurs who disagree with the CCP are "Islamic radicals". Got any proof beyond your own biases in favor of the CCP?
Also, how exactly does this theory of your work? If "authentic Uyghur culture" requires the intervention of an outside ethnic group to "preserve" it, that sounds like people are being told what their culture is, and how to practice it.
Just so you know, this kind of propaganda would be considered extremely racist in the US.

In Hotan, which is 96 per cent Uyghur, birth rates went from 20.94 per cent in 2016 to 8.58 per cent per thousand births in 2018. Similarly, the birth rate in Kashgar, which is approximately 92.6 per cent Uyghur, dropped from 18.19 per cent in 2016 to 7.94 per cent per thousand births in 2018. Even taking into account the overall decline in birth rates in China, these figures remain unusual and stark. The same applies to the figures regarding sterilisations and IUD placements in XUAR, with official data indicating an unusually sharp rise in both forms of procedures in the region during 2017 and 2018, in comparison with the rest of China. For example, in 2018, sterilisations in XUAR stood at 243 per 100,000 inhabitants, whereas the overall figure for China was a fraction thereof at only 32.1 per 100,000 inhabitants
Go read Hamas constitution, yeah.
@@commandermcnash5137 I was just gonna say........riiiiiight. And Netanyahu's not a crazed genocidal maniac against all Muslims either. Just ask him! It's only the "radical Hamas" that he's targeting instead of all Palestinians.....NOT.
@@RaeCarson have you read hamas's founding document?
Yep I don’t blame the Chinese. Jihadist terrorist groupa have always been a way for the west to incite war among other things
This channel is so necessary. Most of us wouldn't know anything about this without these videos.
There is 0 evidence of Uyghur genocide except for some ET Uyghurs stories. ET is a terrorist group and ET Uyghurs are Islamic radicals. China at worst out some radicals into schools to teach them Chinese language, law, and professional skills, based on the idea that if one has a job and stable life, he is less subject to religious extremism. Xinjiang is a popular tourist destination for both domestic and international travelers. Uyghurs are witnessed to have normal lives there, happily dancing in every park and plaza. Gaza is what a genocide looks like. Large amount of videos of body counts, especially women and children, refugee camps, dangerous situations in which hundreds of journalists and aid workers got killed. The fact that the west claim there is a Uyghur genocide with 0 evidence but there is not a Palestinian genocide demonstrates that it is all about political agenda and the west never really cares about justice, human rights and human lives. Forget how they lied about Iraq WMD? They lied about Iraq, they lied about Libya, they invaded those countries and killed civilians themselves, and they continue sending weapons to Israel to be used to kill civilians. You think they care about Uyghur Muslims? They care more about their weapon sales.
Thank you for making this video about the subject that no one wants to talk about!
So basically just the BBC, Adrian Zench and the HRW
Big Thank You!
I haven't watched the whole video. I want to say i still remember when zoom took out the conference room where a uyghur and company were supposed to use it.
And yet... no protests or sit ins?
There have been plenty through the years. Mainly ignored.
Including an attempted boycott campaign, which Simon mentioned.
Where are the mass graves at?
@@linusmayden8465mass graves? You mean cremation and organ harvesting
The US has already sanctioned a bunch of companies and government officials related to Xinjiang. 0 sanction so far for Israel tho.
FINALLY SOMEONE IN MY SUB LIST MADE A VIDEO ABOUT THIS
Palestine, Uyghur and Afghanistan :(
Thank you for this video. This was a very good overview of everything that has been happening to the Uyghur's for the last few years.
Keep believing these lies
Your racist #stopasianhate
This is what Tiktok is doing. Exactly what their facial recognition technology was doing over this last 20 odd years. Gathering all your information and facial ID.
Pretty much. That's why I never let the damn thing on my phone. Not saying Meta is much better, but the US government already knows what I look like given I'm federally employed, the CCP does not.
@@stevendowns4378 For some reason people think what happens in China has no impact on their life. But a simple look at CCP's security law shows where they want to take the world. The security law makes it illegal to question or attack anything the CCP says and carries a prison sentence - meaning if you make the CCP look bad aboard or advocate for democracy in China then you could find yourself in a Chinese jail cell
TH-cam is doing that too.
And don't think its just china who has a "social credit score" and will use systems like tiktok. Its becoming universal
Wow you have Tik Tok 20 years ago 😂😂
Once you understand why some countries can't find genocide in Gaza, then you immediately understand why they can find genocide in Xinjiang.
Fuck Gaza
China uncensored is a TH-cam channel that has been talking about this fire years I'm very happy that Simon is covering it.He's got a bigger voice, but it's so much worse.Go watch a few China.Uncensored videos about the Weger Muslims and like the emojis that used to communicate and your heart will be absolutely broken for these people.I thought after world war two we all decided never again
20:41 as a woman who has had an IUD put in of her free will, it was not a pleasant experience. And that is downplaying it. I was safe in a doctors office, and I was still a bit traumatized by it (it felt like giving birth, and I wasn’t mentally prepared for that as someone who has not had children). I cannot imagine having one forcibly put in in public. It was awful enough in a doctors office where I had chosen it, and had women there who cared about my well-being and ethics. And I knew that if it any point in time I did not want it, he was an easy trip to a doctor for them to slide it out.
That’s not to say that the other stuff wasn’t horrible as well. This just resonated with me. I guess an IUD is better than mutilating them, so that they can’t have children even if they do get out and get help, but regardless, it’s awful
I’ve been called something similar to a Uyguhr lots of times
Under rated comment, this one.
Genocide Xi
So if you can admit to that genocide why don’t you call what’s happening in Gaza as it is a genocide
24:47 "China's campaign against Israel" ? I am confused ...
Holy wow! Simon actually pronounced Uyghur right after so long!
Was always hilarious hearing Uger.
As horrible as it is, the British, Spanish,US and Canadian governments have had extremely similar policies towards Indigenous peoples, Irish,Indian, etc. Residential Schools as an example. This isn't a new practice unfortunately.
But policies long forgotten and left behind.
I’m curious as to why this - excellent - video is on Warographics rather than Into the Shadows?
I don’t understand why the news treated these two stories differently. Even when the Uyghur story broke the news many years ago it was never sensationalized like what is happening with the war in Gaza. Doesn’t make sense considering Israel is an American ally and China is a rival nation.
What’s happening in Gaza isn’t being sensationalized, especially not by mainstream media (quite the opposite actually). The Uyghur story is happening gradually, it’s not getting as much attention because nothing is changing other than tightening restrictions. What’s happening in Gaza is graphic and fast- you can see the effects immediately.
The killing of tens of thousands of civilians is not being "sensationalized"
I wrote a college paper on them in 2019 and the professor thought I made it up. He had 0 idea.
Someone write..
Once you understand why some countries cannot find genocide in Gaza, then you immediately understand why they can find genocide in Xinjiang.
Some religions conveniently FORGET about their own people
So, they've been native to the region since at least 700 CE, when they were driven from Kyrgyzstan (next door). That's only a few dozen miles away. If you want to talk about indigenous populations, in the absence of the Tocharians, the Uyghurs are a close as that region can claim. As a Canadian, I couldn't help but notice that their children even get their own Residential Schools. That should work out fine.
I gave a presentation about this 2 years ago during my ALS class. It's heartbreaking that this is still happening.
When some Uyghur Chinese committed terrorist acts on Chinese streets
Where some Uyghur Chinese were thrown into re-education camps
The world called it cultural genocide
Where some Palestinians escaped their Gaza Ghettos committed terrorist acts on Israeli streets.
We in the world call that terrorism, justifying the bombing of Palestinian civilians in their Gaza Ghettos
Which begs the question China throws money at their ethnic Uyghur Chinese minority and gives them special rights over the Han majority. Like the ability to have more then 1 kid at the time like they do with all their ethnic minority people
Yet we consider it cultural genocide
What does Israel consider these Palestinian people as???
As they bomb them in those Gaza Ghettoes Israel forced them into.
Yet in this situation, we mostly stay silent on that genocide
Where is the proof?
@@IamHandsome4u of my presentation?
@@adamhartman3799 no, this whole "genocide" accusation. I seriously dont know what u yapped abt in ur presentation
Thanks for the work you, the writers and editors do to objectively expose these under-reported, horrifying, despicable things that are happening around the world.
In a western world that is increasingly hung up on "me" culture/politics, learning more detail about these awful situations puts things in perspective a bit, doesn't it.
More people need to see this
All thes people complaining, pls visit Xinjiang and see how high thevincomes, jobs, progress has grown, and compare with the other muslim minority countries . No need to argue
> Official population figures indicate a sharp decline in birth rates in XUAR from 2017. Data from the 2020 Chinese Statistical Yearbook, covering 2019, shows that in the space of two years the birth rate in Xinjiang dropped approximately 48.7 per cent, from 15.88 per thousand in 2017 to 8.14 per thousand in 2019. The average for all of China is 10.48 per thousand.

And here is a translation of CCP laws for the region; www.chinalawtranslate.com/en/xinjiang-uyghur-autonomous-region-regulation-on-de-extremification/
Quotes;
> The following words and actions under the influence of extremism are extremification, and are to be prohibited: (15) Other speech and acts of extremification.
> De-extremification shall persist in the basic directives of the party's work on religion, persist in an orientation of making religion more Chinese and under law, and actively guide religions to become compatible with socialist society.
> Competent departments for telecommunications shall urge telecommunications operators to put in place monitoring systems and technological prevention measures for audio, messages, and communication records with extremifying content in cell phones, call centers, land lines, and other telecommunication tools, to prevent the transmission of information with extremifying information. Where telecommunications operators discover information with extremifying content, they shall immediately stop its transmission, delete the relevant information, keep evidence, and promptly report the case; employ technological measures to block cross-border internet transmissions of information with extremifying content, and assist the public security organs in conducting a lawful disposition.
And on.
Compared to that, thr US and every other country I have visited with a Muslim minority is a paradise.
Any CCP bots seen yet?😂😂😂😂
Yeah, me. Do we actually have any evidence of this genocide? Or maybe it's going on, but the Chinese are being provoked and need to resort to violence?
Also, here we go again with white people complaining about the evils of other people when white people themselves have done the same and are actually benefiting from such actions. China can't do the same?
