Uyghur Genocide in China
from Bro History · host Bro History
Today we discuss the history of the Uyghur people and the creepy Xinjiang re-education camps. Most people think of China as an ethnically homogenous nation-state, however, they would be wrong. There are fifty-six official “nationalities” of China, some with culture values diametrically obsessed with the CCP. This has caused China to go through extreme measures to assimilate some of these groups. In fact, the US officially determined that China is committing genocide and crimes against humanity against Uyghur Muslims who live in the northwestern region of Xinjiang. The Uyghurs are a Turkic speaking, predominantly Muslim ethnic group with a strong national identity, so it’s not surprising that China has labeled them a threat.
