A person who was made to undergo Chinese political re-education as part of China’s ongoing, undeniable genocide

Built a propaganda tracker tracking Chinese state media and terms. They noticed how, during the re-education program, language was shifting: he was no longer Chinese Mongolian, he was from the ‘northern frontier’.

This work documents and tracks how quickly terms shift through Chinese state media

Here this is Uighur #calligraphy, which is like a parent/inflencial language compared to Mongolian. IIRC, Mongolians had chosen their neighbours #Uighur script to write their own language, or something like that: I should check #linguistics

@AutisticInnovator it hits different when you are directly affected by it. I think the #tradewar is great as it lowers the slave labor used in production (Chinese labor camps for #uighur and #FalunGong) while all the negative impact of the trade war is affecting only some country far far away (from me) that has benefitted from #slavelabor for hundreds of years (#USA).

I hope my country will use this opportunity to double down on the supply chain law to ban any slave labor anywhere in supply

Over the past few decades, #China has solidified its status as an economic superpower. But the country’s economic boom coupled with its increased military might has increased tensions in the region, including with Taiwan, where fears are mounting over a possible Chinese invasion.

Meanwhile, at home, China’s #humanrights record remains under the spotlight with severe curtailments on free speech and a continued hardline policy on the country’s #Uighur community.

Everybody knows how IBM made the machines the original nazis used in their genocide of the Jews, but we never talk about how IBM, Microsoft, Oracle and others today makes the technology China uses in their genocide of the Uighur. Why not?

@Rjdlandscapes I don’t trust that cars made in the PRC aren’t made with enslaved Uighur labor. #ev #uighur #xinjiang

"For…#TaylorSwift and #Trump, the researchers found roughly two Instagram posts for every one on TikTok…That ratio jumped to more than 8-to-1 for #Uyghur or #Uighur, 30-to-1 for #Tibet, 57-to-1 for #TiananmenSquare, and 174-to-1 for #HongKongProtest." https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/21/business/tiktok-china.html https://nitter.hongkongers.net/JChengWSJ/status/1738431992759468459#m

☝️ 「In late August, authorities in Hong Kong raided the home of Andrew Chan, the founder of a Cantonese-language advocacy group called the Hong Kong Language Learning Association. National security police questioned Chan about an essay contest the group hosted three years earlier for literature composed in Cantonese, the lingua franca of Hong Kong. One of the finalists in the contest was a fictional futuristic short story about a young man seeking to recover histories of Hong Kong lost to authoritarian erasure.

During a warrantless search of his home, they demanded that Chan remove the work from his website, threatening severe consequences for him and his family. Afterward, Chan put out a statement that he had no choice but to dissolve his group entirely, an organization that had worked to promote Hong Kong’s culture through the preservation of the Cantonese language for nearly ten years.」

China bans book about the early history of the Mongolian people
https://www.rfa.org/english/news/china/mongolian-book-banned-09032023090748.html

「Chinese authorities have banned a book on the history of the Mongols, citing "historical nihilism" – a term indicating a version of history not in keeping with the official party line – in what appeared to be a concerted attack by Beijing on ethnic Mongolians' identity.」

「Xi vowed to double down on China’s hardline policies toward the 11 million mostly Muslim Uyghurs who live in the region, warning that "hard-won social stability" would remain the top priority, along with making everyone speak Mandarin rather than their own languages.

And his warnings seemed to apply to other regions, too. "Forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation is a focus of .. all work in areas with large ethnic minority populations," Xi said」

「Ethnic Mongolians, who make up almost 20 percent of Inner Mongolia's population of 23 million, increasingly complain of widespread environmental destruction and unfair development policies in the region, as well as ongoing attempts to target their traditional culture.

Clashes between Chinese state-backed mining or forestry companies and herding communities are common in the region, which borders the independent country of Mongolia, with those who complain about the loss of their grazing lands frequently targeted for harassment, beatings, and detention by the authorities.」

「At the start of the academic year in 2020, China announced it would end Mongolian-medium instruction in schools, prompting angry protests and a wide-ranging crackdown across the region.」

A basic and deep #racism towards the #Chinese is apparent, the academic said, and no one cared to hide it. “It’s expressed in terms and ways we wouldn’t dare to use if we were speaking about Black people or South Asian people,” they added. #Uighur https://link.medium.com/bdBQ21gGHAb

As much as I love Thailand, and I do, the country stinks to high heaven regarding the human rights record.
