The Gulag Archipelago is very active in western China
While Israel defending itself is scorned, China detaining over a million Muslims (mostly Uighur) gets barely a mention by the world. Pakistan and other Muslim nations near China ignore the issue, mainly due to the Chinese buying their silence through trade deals.
China is a bully. The best way to deal with a bully is to push back--both on economic issues and human rights. China's treatment of Muslims also needs exposure because it demonstrates just how hypocritical criticism of the USA and Israel is on this topic. You don't hear Ilhan Omar, Linda Sarsour, or Rashida Tlaib or most leftists raising the alarm on China (and they should be called out on it).
If we don't push back to China on trade and human rights, what's next? Escalation in the South China Sea? Taiwan, Philippine, and Japan hostility?

China taking a hard hand against the sect of genocide, and modern day slavery. I don't care, this medieval sect brought it on themselves. The other world leaders, either through their bank accounts, or in fear what a member of this murderous sect might do to them are turning a blind eye to the genocide this cult is carrying out on a daily basis.
ReplyDeleteChina does not give a rats ass about anything but China. They are not doing anything to curb Islamic Extremism. This is solely about China. They will bruttally beat down any disruptions in their own country (be it Uighurs, Christians, Tibetans, Falun Gong, etc.). They will buy off true supporters of terrorism (such as Somalia, Pakistan and Afghanistan) so long as it is not directed to any Chinese interests. They want to position their eventual take over of Taiwan, South China Sea (and if the Philippines and Vietnam get in the way so be it). They want to keep NoKo a vassal state to provoke Japan and the USA. They want to steal as much trade secrets, intellectual property, and do what they can to undermine the USA any way they can.
DeleteI get it. Make China Great Again. So how do you deal with that? Put United States interests first. It is complex.
Trade negotiations are difficult. You use every tool in your tool box.
ReplyDeleteAlso see my comment below. China is absolutely doing nothing about Islam, other than internally in China. Otherwise, China is encouraging Muslim extremists to go after the West and leave China alone (though a combination of bribery and threats).
