The Fate Of Uyghur Muslims In China: From Re-education Camps To Forced Labor

According to a recent report published by the Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI), between 2017 and 2019, the Chinese Government facilitated the transfer of Uighur Muslims and other ethnic minorities from Xinjiang to factories in various parts of China.

The allegations come several months after the situation in Xinjiang hit the headlines with reports of the mass incarceration of Uighur Muslims in so-called “re-education camps.” According to them, there are an estimated one million (if not more) Uighur Muslims detained in so-called “re-education camps” which are designed to strip them of their religious and ethnic identity and replace it with absolute loyalty to the state.

Profiles of Hong Kong Repression: Perpetrators of Human Rights and Democracy Abuse

This document not only lists the individuals that have been involved with violations of Hongkongers' human rights, but also details each violation with fact-checked references. Perpetrators are sorted into four tiers, with the first tier considered the most deserving of sanctions—Carrie Lam, the so-called 'mother', is deservedly at the top of this list. It is our hope that this document will make it easier for countries to pinpoint suitable individuals for sanctions––people who have sold out Hongkongers' basic human rights for personal gain.

China threatened to harm Czech companies over Taiwan visit: letter

"The Jan. 10 letter, which was sent by China’s embassy in Prague to the Czech president’s office, suggested that Czech companies operating in mainland China, such as Volkswagen (VOWG_p.DE) subsidiary Skoda Auto or lender Home Credit Group, would suffer if Senate speaker Jaroslav Kubera visited the self-ruled island. Kubera died unexpectedly on Jan. 20, before his trip had been due to take place, but the letter, written in Czech, reveals how explicit Beijing was about the possible consequences if the visit had gone ahead. “Czech companies whose representatives visit Taiwan with Chairman Kubera will not be welcome in China or with the Chinese people,” the letter said.   “Czech companies who have economic interests in China will have to pay for the visit to Taiwan by Chairman Kubera,” the letter added, noting, “China is the largest foreign market for many Czech companies like Skoda Auto, Home Credit Group, Klaviry Petrof and others”. The Czech president’s spokesman confirmed the letter had been received but did not comment on its content. Asked about the letter, China’s foreign ministry said it did not know where the information had come from." Credit to the source
