China throwing muslims into internment camps

[Andrew NDB]

Apparently this is true? And they've done this with over a million of them?

My only question: goodness gracious, why stay in China if you're muslim if this is going on?

[FredWolfLeonardo]

I assume that many Muslims living in China are too poor to move out, and/or are natural citizens of the country who were born there rather than being immigrants, so they would not want to leave their homeland.

But one things for certain, many of the Muslim faith would sooner die as believers than renounce their God. No matter how hard the Chinese government tries, it will not succeed in destroying Islam, a faith that survived more than a thousand years of vicious warfare, conquests and attempts to destroy it.

China and human rights violations go together like chocolate and peanut butter. A lot of Asians in general are like, "You're either one of us, or you're subhuman." No shock here.

oh so basically what Trump is doing with the Immigrants trying to seek asylum.

Pretty much. Just look at Tibet.

And yes, even some Asians I've talked to online have confessed to me that ALL Asians hate each other and that they're probably the most racist of all races and ethnicities :lol:. Honestly, Asians are quite "tribal" and I notice they're the least likely ethnic groups to mingle with people of different nationalities and cultures. For example, where I live, most Chinese and Indians, including their kids who were already born here, still can barely say a word of Portuguese nor do they seem very interested in learning more of the language. You know why? Because 95% of the time they ONLY interact with their other fellow nationals and only want to deal with the local population when strictly necessary.

At first I wondered if it was just a phenomenon of my country, but pretty much every European I've met told me the Asian immigrants in their countries were just like that as well.

You mean "vagrants trying to mooch?"

Not to mention there's like over 1 billion Muslims in the world. It's not like it's some minority religious group/sect. If the Nazis couldn't fully eradicate the Jews or even Jeovah Witnesses then China sure as hell isn't gonna succeed at eradicating Muslims.

Wow, China, what the hell. :ohwell: Don't even know what to say, hard to imagine camps like that even still being a thing in this day and age. :tsad:

Well, it does not surprise me, sadly. Just look at what they've been doing to Tibetans...

Even other countries are scared to have the Dalai Lama visit them, because that would make China not too happy.

And when China is not happy, that means dire economic consequences.

China and Russia are two double-edged swords. On one hand, they're very interesting countries with very interesting cultures and history; but on the other hand, when it comes to politics and human rights, yeah...

When Dalai Lama visited my country in like 2007 or 2008 no member of the government recognised his visit. They were just like "oh he probably is just a tourist, who cares" when asked about him.

No, not even remotely, or on ANY level.

There was also another news article about how China was harvesting organs like livers and kidneys from either prisoners or people in internment camps and giving them to Chinese patients in hospitals. This is literally stuff out of a dystopian sci-fi movie.
