GENEVA (AP) — China’s discriminatory detention of Uyghurs and other mostly Muslim ethnic groups in the western region of Xinjiang may constitute crimes against humanity, the U.N. human rights office said in a long-awaited report released Wednesday, which cited “serious” rights violations and patterns of torture meted out in recent years.
The report calls for an urgent international response over allegations of torture and other rights violations in Beijing’s campaign to root out terrorism.
U.N. human rights chief Michelle Bachelet, facing pressure on both sides of the issue, brushed aside multiple Chinese calls for her office to withhold the report, which follows her own carefully crafted trip to Xinjiang in May. Beijing has contended that the report is part of a Western campaign to smear China’s reputation.
The report has fanned a tug-of-war for diplomatic influence with the West over the rights of the region’s native Uyghurs and other predominantly Muslim ethnic groups.

Oh, they’ve been committing genocide for a quite a while now. The real surprise is that the UN had the spine to outright admit it.
It was her last day.Oh, they’ve been committing genocide for a quite a while now. The real surprise is that the UN had the spine to outright admit it.
Oh, there is almost certainly a sternly written letter coming!Yes, and now they will issue a bowel-liquifying terrifying condemnation over it.
The UN is useless as hell, mostly because of the veto. The only way to deal with this sort of shit is to turn off trade.
They might even write The Times.Oh, there is almost certainly a sternly written letter coming!

Yeah, no one talks shit about China and gets away with it. Child labor is just too cheap. And that's the problem with Commie nations. They ain't Marxist styled communists where everything is for the People. They are horrible authoritative dictatorships based around a God Emperor.That makes a lot of sense, sadly.
If we had principles, we'd just freeze them out by, you know, not buying anything from them.Yeah, no one talks shit about China and gets away with it. Child labor is just too cheap.

Donald Trump liked your post.If we had principles, we'd just freeze them out by, you know, not buying anything from them.
Shall we move on to the serious propositions?If we had principles, we'd just freeze them out by, you know, not buying anything from them.
If we had principles. But we use the Chinese child labor to subsidize the American labor market. So our CEOs can get richer, while our working class gets poorer. But we try to hide how much poorer they're actually getting by buying cheap shit made by some kid in China.If we had principles, we'd just freeze them out by, you know, not buying anything from them.
Yep. IF. We obviously don't.If we had principles. But we use the Chinese child labor to subsidize the American labor market. So our CEOs can get richer, while our working class gets poorer. But we try to hide how much poorer they're actually getting by buying cheap shit made by some kid in China.
I'm all for it but it would be a massive shock to our economy. And it could make china very dangerous.If we had principles, we'd just freeze them out by, you know, not buying anything from them.

We ain't, because the Corporate State runs us all. Trump supporters actually bitch about this, with the "swamp" and shit. The problem is, they put their loyalty to one who was just the ****ing same. Trump is just the other side of the Corporate State Coin. He was never for us, he was never against the swamp. So nothing changed.Yep. IF. We obviously don't.
I hear ya but the real world only seems to occasionally do principals.Yes, that's true.
But principles aren't hobbies. Sometimes it's really dangerous to have them, but it's better than being supine in the face of genocide.
See, I have worked in the private sector, and I now work for one of those three letter agencies that nobody's ever heard of, and I have to say that corporate state is mostly corporate and very little state.We ain't, because the Corporate State runs us all. Trump supporters actually bitch about this, with the "swamp" and shit. The problem is, they put their loyalty to one who was just the ****ing same. Trump is just the other side of the Corporate State Coin. He was never for us, he was never against the swamp. So nothing changed.
Ain't shit going to change under Biden either.
What would happen if tomorrow we snapped our fingers and we only had products from like Europe, Canada, the US? How quickly would the American People be crushed?
This is the oligarchy under which we live. This is the new aristocracy. And the American worker be damned, Bezos needs to go to space again.
