US restricts visas for Chinese officials over 'campaign to erase religion' in Xinjiang

[guillaumeb]

From the article:

The US has imposed visa restrictions on Chinese government and Communist party officials accused of being involved in the mass internment of more than a million Uighurs and other Muslim minority groups in Xinjiang province.
The restrictions, announced by the state department on Tuesday, come a day after the US commerce department imposed export restrictions on US companies preventing them from selling their products – particularly face recognition and other surveillance technology – to 28 Chinese entities, including the Public Security Bureau and firms involved in surveillance in Xinjiang.

China has been engaged in a campaign that aims to eliminate religion among the Uighur Muslim population of Xinjiang Province. They cloak it in the language of "fighting terrorism", but it has the dual aims of both seizing resources and attacking religion.

1. Crimes against humanity.

After a couple of years, we won't stand for it anymore. No trips to Disneyworld for you, comrade!

3. Is there a Disneyworld in China?

Or a very similar type park that just happens to resemble Disneyworld?

2. As has been pointed out to you, yet you dishonestly keep ignoring...

the Chinese campaign against *every* group that it oppresses, is about political power, and eliminating threats to the party. There are many religious groups in China that don't face any internment or violence. There are many non-religious groups and people who do. If this were the simple effort to "eliminate religion" as you keep claiming it is, then neither of those statements would be true.

You know this, but you keep spreading falsehoods in order to promote your agenda. Why?

4. Because there IS an agenda. That's why.

That's also why I have stopped responding in this group.

William Barr just ratified that agenda in his speech to the "values forum."
