If ethnic cleansing takes place in China and nobody is able to hear it, does it make a sound?

If ethnic cleansing takes place in China and nobody is able to hear it, does it make a sound? Thats what millions of Muslims inside the Peoples Republic are asking as they watch the Chinese government expand a network of internment camps and systematic human rights abuses designed to stamp out their peoples religion and culture.

Since last year, hundreds of thousands and perhaps millions of innocent Uighurs and other ethnic minorities in the Xinjiang region in northwest China have been unjustly arrested and imprisoned in what the Chinese government calls political re-education camps. Thousands have disappeared. There are credible reports of torture and death among the prisoners. The government says it is fighting terrorism and religious extremism. Uighurs say they are resisting a campaign to crush religious and cultural freedom in China. The international community has largely reacted with silence.

The government has destroyed thousands of religious buildings. It has banned long beards and many Muslim names. People are forced to eat pork against their beliefs. The Chinese governments persecution of innocents continues even after their death.

Who was in the wrong here? China for intervening in assimilation to fit people for a socialist society, or Muslims for going against China's strict religious regulations?

Well at least the good news is that Trump is in a "China is the enemy" phase so he might actually speak out about this.

More of a reminder than breaking news.
