Male Chinese ‘Relatives’ Assigned to Uyghur Homes Co-sleep With Female ‘Hosts’
Officials call the sleeping arrangements ‘normal’ and a way to ‘promote ethnic unity.’
Article said:The cadre said he had “never heard” of any situations in which male officials had attempted to take advantage of female members of the households they stayed in, and suggested “it is now considered normal for females to sleep on the same platform with their paired male ‘relatives.’”
Our failure to properly support the Nationalists at the end of WW2 continues to bear fruit.
An interesting question to ponder.Sad, but true.
One of the weaknesses of being an idealist, is failure to recognize the utility of supporting the less-bad option in a foreign conflict. The Nationalist leaders weren't particularly nice either, but they were nowhere near as bad a Mao or the Communists.
Sweet Christ, this is going to get really ugly.
That's the China bucks many countries are sucking off of.China is practically just flaunting its power and crimes in the face of the world
But then, it’s less about keeping things secret and more about people refusing to believe it or acknowledge it en masse
The Western World, guys with probably the only power to oppose China, won’t do so because of China’s economic power, the fact that a Communist Nation acting like a bunch of “Western Imperialists” is an Outside Context Problem and the fact that they have other issues to deal with that are being dealt with by idealistic Commies who’d probably side with China

Before China it's the US or the Middle East with their oil and long ago it's who ever has resources others want.
Thankfully, China's economy has a foundation made of Jenga blocks; at some point, it's going to topple over. Once it does, all of their global influence will evaporate in an instant.China is practically just flaunting its power and crimes in the face of the world

Wrong, this is already very ugly. Uyghur men are getting imprisoned in reeducation centers en masse, area is getting flodded with Han colonists, unmarried Uyghur women are forced into marriages with Han men and married Uyghur women with detained husbands have Han ''relatives'' come over to ''help''. Not to mention that all public expressions of Uyghur culture are banned and official cultural indoctriantion is going into overdrive. And no one can do anything, as their resistance has been effectively crushed by overwhelming security force response.Sweet Christ, this is going to get really ugly.
I'm reminded of how ancient civilisations do their empire building.Wrong, this is already very ugly.

What can be compared there and now?
Describe it to me the sacking.Their soldiers and politicians actively “sack” their conquered settlements in broad daylight
