If China is using for example Apple's data to help incarcerate their citizens, does anyone else think Apple shares responsibilty? Would a Uigur that was detained and tortured have possible legal standing in the US to sue the American corp. that helped enable the surveilance?
I feel this is so much worse than the current US government policy is, regarding Muslims. It’s sad that these groups get no support from middle east countries or Pakisthan that should sympathize with their plight.
They're not specifically targeting muslims, at least for now. For example, Hui muslims, another Chinese minority, aren't persecuted. It's more to do with the Uighur ethnicity.
China basically is occupying a foreign country that they annexed 50 years ago and is now subjugating its conquered people to literal fascism. Where is the West's denunciation?
"We have to conquer our own country and purify it of all infidels. Then, we should conquer the infidels' countries and spread Islam. The infidels who are usurping our countries have announced war against Islam and Muslims, forcing Muslims to abandon Islam and change their beliefs."
– Abdullah Mansour, current leader of the Uyghur separatist movement Turkistan Islamic Party (East Turkestan Islamic Movement), from "The Duty of Faith and Support," Voice of Islam/al-Fajr Media Center, August 26, 2009.
That is one guy. I never met anyone who espouses that on the ground. If anything, that quote is aiming to generate (a previously mentioned) external support from nations that you would think would want to help due to a shared religion.
