  4. Uyghurs part of repression of all minorities in China

    The China Unity law is an act of cultural genocide

    The China Unity Law came into force in July and is intended to establish Chinese dominance over all its ethnic minorities. Mandarin will become the dominant language and all 51 of China’s minorities will be affected, around 9% of the total population. We are focusing on the Uyghurs who are being persecuted as part of Amnesty’s Uyghur Awareness Month. The law will be used to justify ever more repression and discrimination over its minorities.

    We have to be aware of the wider context however and the threat to human rights inside and outside China. An article By Simon Tisdall in the Guardian (8th August) discusses these wider issues. The new law has been condemned but not too loudly by western governments but more loudly by Amnesty. We must not forget the repression which went on Tibet and also Mongolia: the Uyghurs are just the latest in a line of minorities persecuted by an increasingly authoritarian Xi Jinping.

    Tisdall argues that a kind of ‘debilitating fatalism’ has taken hold of the western powers who just watch the ever increasing exercise of power by China. They are threatening Taiwan and with US military stocks reported to be much reduced by the Iran excursion, is now the time when an assault is right for them? They also threaten Japan.

    Hong Kong is another example and thousands left the former colony to come to the UK. Free speech is no longer possible. The publisher Jimmy Lai was sentenced in December to 20 years in prison and is in solitary confinement and in poor health. His family say he is denied medical attention which is denied by the Chinese but they do not allow independent verification.

    The sad fact is that the cause of human rights in that country and those of its minority populations in particular is bleak. As China becomes more economically and politically powerful and western countries more divided, China is able to pursue its plans with ever greater vigour. Its desire to build the biggest embassy in the west in London seems unstoppable. It is almost certainly to be used for espionage and to exert control over Chinese people living in the UK. Donald Trump’s divisive policies against US allies plays into China (and Russia’s) hands.

  6.

  7. Analysis

    #JimmyLai: What price freedom?
    The billionaire tycoon’s life mirrors Hong Kong’s own journey from opportunity and freedom to repression and resistance. His remarkable rise from entrepreneur to democracy advocate was driven largely by the convictions that led him to risk his fortune – and ultimately his freedom – for the city he calls home.

  23. #HowardAnglin: "I was disappointed I had to wait five minutes for a table at my local cafe today. I was disappointed they were sold out of babka buns. I was disappointed it rained on my walk home. I condemn the unjust arrest, imprisonment, and sentencing of Jimmy Lai by the thuggish PRC regime." | nitter

  25. RTE News are reporting on the jailing of Apple Daily’s Jimmy Lai in Hong Kong.

    They show a clip of a mainland CCP spokesperson supporting the jailing. It’s translated from 中國人 by a lad with a thick Belfast accent.

    It’s hugely triggering and reminiscent of the style of news reporting of an official UK government dismissal of the latest UVF atrocity during The Troubles.
